Hi, I am skeptical that the larger trackpads are going to be better. Is the palm rejection perfect? Because on the old pros I never even though of the word palm rejection. It was 100% perfect. Not 99%--100%. Is the new one a downgrade, because the perfect trackpad of the macbook pro is one of its main competitive advantages.
Got a tip for us?

How's the palm rejection?

I found this thread and had to respond.
I have the 15 MBP and the palm rejection sometimes doesn't work. If you are one that types with your palms always on the trackpad, it should be fine, however, when you sometimes light them every so slightly, the trackpad will pick it up and mess things up. I have written several e-mails already and gotten overly frustrated at the fact that it is overly sensitive and moves the cursor to other parts and triggers a change in where I am writing.

I have the 15inch and I am not having issues constantly, but from time to time, when I type, it shoots the cursor off to where my hand hit. I suppose it may be the way that I type -- I sometimes have my palms rise a tad bit when I am trying to reach for a particular key.
