I have an "analog" personal laptop and a "force touch" work laptop. The analog one is _so much better_. I understand that they need to do this for waterproofing, but the real button just feels so much clickier.

I have analog personal laptop and force touch work laptop. Force touch is _so much better_. The click feels natural and works and feels identical on whole touchpad surface. Definitely a huge leap in right direction.
