The trackpad calibration on my MacBook Air is almost okay, just a tad bit too slow rigid to move around.

I've now used a macbook air for work... the lack of fans and the fact that I can now use a decent usbc charger means they don't wake me up any more.

If you want to propose some ridiculous repurposing of tech from a cool company, it might be a better idea to stick a MacBook on the rover. Air, not Pro. The Pro’s fan would perform to spec on Mars :)
