The best trackpad I've used was on the Tegra K1-based Acer Chromebook 13. It had a good size for multi-touch gestures and was just really well integrated. Combined with a nice low-friction surface and a positive click, I still haven't found its equal.

In fact, that line of chromebooks had the best overall package. Slim, but very sturdy plastic body, a surprisingly good keyboard, ~10 hour battery life. The 13" FHD screen was OK, but not amazing, I would have liked an IPS panel instead of TN.

The major downside is that it was a 32-bit ARM-based chromebook and everyone was going 64-bit x86 instead. So it got slower and slower with each successive update, eventually it couldn't even play 1080p Youtube videos anymore, or even 720p60. Such a shame.
