I don’t use macbooks very often because I don’t own one, but whenever I do I can’t believe that the trackpad doesn’t actually move. Whatever combination of pressure sensitivity and haptics they have crammed in there is nothing short of amazing.
If you’ve used the pre-Force Touch trackpads, those do physically move and imo are still the best trackpads I’ve ever used. Once you have that experience, you can tell very clearly that the new ones don’t physically move and personally I can’t stand the new ones as a result.

Move in what way, with a click?
Yea, the trackpads actually physically moves downward because we’ll, it’s an actual physical button.
Gotcha. But they only fake it now with haptics?
Yea pretty much
Apple has had great trackpads for years and years.
Yet somehow every other laptop has at best something just kind of decent. You’d think they could catch up by now…
Same with the steam deck. Took me a couple weeks to realize
When I owned one years ago, I legit had no idea for the first few months.
The first time I clicked it with the power off I panicked and assumed I’d somehow jammed it or something. 😄
