I use a $250 mouse + a $250 mechanical keyboard as the laptop is docked... Pretty sure nothing compares to apples track pads. At the same time sitting hunched over a laptop on a desk is sub optimal too, many do it. Point is for significantly less money a non apple device is most likely gonna get the job done and not be a disaster hardware wise. Is the Trackpad really worth $2,000?

Whats the 250$ mouse?

Btw not sure why you compare trackpad to a mouse. People who commute or work from cafes need good trackpad and apple ones are the best. The trackpad itself costs much less but i doubt people would use it as mouse replacement in office situations.

FWIW, I use Apple’s trackpad exclusively in office or on the road. The gestures and tap to click are irreplaceable for me.
