I'm hoping Dell (or more accurately, its foreign OEM manufacturer) gets around to fixing the trackpad someday. It took Ford and GM decades to fix their respective problems. Methinks trackpads are like Ford fuel injectors (constantly getting clogged) or Chevy main seals (always leaked oil onto the driveway). When I have the luxury of an actual desktop (that table-looking structure made of wood or metal), an external mouse is a good, even better, workaround. In such cases, the trackpad would be very useful. The possible fixes I've found to this problem depends.

It behaves as if the button has been clicked when it's barely grazed, but sometimes doesn't click at all when trying to click it (starting softly and then gradually getting more forceful). The trackpad is too sensitive, except when it's not. My wife is getting the same erratic behavior that others have reported (irrespective of operating system, BTW). Everything works out-of-the-box correctly.
