Usually one of the worst thing about all laptops are their trackpads. Awkward placement or size can really ruin a beautiful product. How about using a glass trackpad like Apple? They are super sleek and wonderful to use. Lastly, on the size of the track pad, you should use something with the same aspect ratio. As a side note, I currently do a lot of my development on my Precision M4600 and one of my favorite features is the three buttons right below the track pad.

My wish list:
-Physical buttons (3 if possible/ give buyer the choice)
-Made of glass for perfect touch and feel
-Size ratio matches screen proportions
-Give the trackpad a "disable" button (tired of hitting the trackpad by accident when typing)
-As flush as possible (I hate having debris caught in between my trackpad and the casing)

    Also, I forgot to mention support of multi touch. Apple once again is king in this department. The two finger scroll is beautifully executed.

    I agree with the "Physical buttons (3..." comment.  Having a 3rd physical button on the trackpad is great for middle-clicking (to paste in unix, to open links in a new tab in most browsers, to close existing tabs in browsers/text editors).  That said, for me it's a "nice to have", not a deal-breaker.
