What's so hard about making a good touchpad?

What's so hard about making a good touchpad?
Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the Hp laptop battery
Microsoft’s Surface Book also looks like it’ll give legitimate competition to the MacBook Pro, thanks to its precision glass trackpad and generous battery array. HP’s Spectre x360 completes a trifecta of Windows machines that can claim to offer a MacBook-like touchpad experience. Each of these PCs pushes into the premium range, with the most desirable specifications costing upwards of $1,000, but that’s where PC makers need to be competing. Apple isn’t making money selling $500 laptops, it’s not even trying — and it doesn’t seem like the companies that offer such computers are profiting from it either.
What we have now is a beginning on the right path, after a lot of misguided false starts. Gestures and multitouch actions on the touchpad were always Apple’s thing, and PC makers initially adopted the idea half-heartedly — hence the awfulness of their implementation. But that mode of interaction has now proven itself just as much as the keyboard has, and instead of trying to dodge the issue by installing touchscreens and making laptops into weird hybrids, the right solution is to just do awesome touchpads. Save the money, power, and weight spent on a touchscreen and invest them into a bigger battery with such as Hp Pavilion dv6500 battery, Hp Pavilion dv6600 battery, Hp Pavilion dv6900 battery, Hp Pavilion dv6100 battery, Hp Pavilion dv6300 battery, Hp Pavilion dv2600 battery, Hp 7F0994 battery, Hp HSTNN-IBON battery, Hp HSTNN-OB60 battery, Hp KU533AA battery, Hp HSTNN-Q45C battery, Hp PT06 batteryand a nicer touchpad.

For all of its talk of magical revolutions, Apple is actually an extremely conservative company. Today’s MacBook Pro is a slimmed-down version of a design introduced in 2008. The MacBook Air has been left unchanged since 2010. And when Apple altered its touchpad this year to include Force Touch, it did so with great deliberation and a ton of high engineering behind the scenes (and under the glass). Apple gets the fundamentals right in a very serious and rigorous way, and then it gets fancy with its marketing spiel. PC vendors have tended to do the opposite, going for outlandish and gimmicky ideas in their designs, but presenting them in boring and clichéd ways.
To make today’s big marketing push meaningful, PC makers should ensure that it’s underpinned by devices that live up to the hype. It’s worked for Apple, and there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work for Microsoft and its PC comrades.
