How you know almost all of these gaming laptop reviews are fake: almost none of the laptops have trackpad buttons any more, as if you are supposed to somehow game with tap-to-click and software-induced dead times when you click or press a key. Yet no reviewer comments on this.

Nothing pictures that better than Jon's take. It wouldn't cross my mind to take trackpad's quality into account when writing a review unless I was buying one for work. He thinks they're fake. Like, no wonder there's disconnection in how we view the problem.
Trackpads are of such tremendously varying quality, and some of them are nearly completely unusable. It would be professional negligence to write a review without covering trackpad quality. (Of course most reviewers do that).

I thought you were talking about user reviews, sorry. Yes, that's odd indeed. It kind of aligns with how people view gaming laptops in general. It seems that we don't consider it. I know I didn't. I'm expecting less precision in trackpads, but I know I won't use them for gaming

We're talking about professional reviewers. Their job is to review the quality of the entire laptop, not just the parts they think people will use. They still test GPU perf, right, even on laptops that AREN'T for gaming. They don't say "we won't test it because no one cares"!
