Any Synaptics multi-touch trackpad feels as good as Apple. Apple hardware is nothing special.
It's all about the software. Scrolling in Firefox on Wayland with the upcoming vsync patch (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1542808) and OpenGL layer compositing enabled feels perfect. (Fun fact, I actually contributed the inertial scrolling on GTK patch to Firefox :D)
If you run legacy software and your trackpad scrolling is delivered to the application as emulated scroll wheel events, don't be surprised that it doesn't feel right.
