They certainly used to be pretty worthless, but some two years ago Lenovo seems to have realised that. Being firmly on team trackpoint, I don’t use it personally, but my X1 Carbon (2017) has a nice feeling large trackpad that I’ve heard many good things about.
i think it was actually microsoft that started pushing OEMs towards better touchpads with it's surface touchpad certification program. any laptop with those is pretty comparable to a mac touchpad...
