Where did you catch that the trackpad was different than the Pros? My M1 Air has a glass trackpad.

I just checked and you are right, my M1 Air has a glass trackpad too. However, the trackpad on the 14" MBP is much smoother and more responsive; I thought it the difference was glass vs non-glass. It must be something else.

I don’t mean to insinuate anything here, but have you checked the trackpad behaviour using the same trackpad settings?

I once thought the same thing only to realize my settings on the trackpad weren’t quite the same and somehow my brain just glitched and I glossed over that (important) detail.

You are seeing the effects of the 120Hz screen: 8.3ms of display latency vs 16.6ms on a 60Hz screen.

Yes, it's noticeable.
