I have a chromebook designed like this, and it removes any precision in clicking. I push down, and my finger slips as the trackpad depresses.
My only issue is click-and-drag, but that was at least somewhat alleviated when I learned to hold the click with my index finger and do the drag by moving my middle finger (which is similar to what I'd do with a trackpad with dedicated mouse buttons anyway) instead of just using my index finger.
