Have you been able to fix the disable when typing issue? If not, have you seen these instructions?
http://askubuntu.com/questions/462135/touchpad-issue-jumping-cursor-while-typing-ubuntu-14-04-syndaemon-dont-help

I've tried 12.04 on a MB Air a couple of years ago, but switched back
after only a couple of days since I couldn't fix the trackpad and it
kept jumping around when working on the terminal. Made me completely
crazy.

I would really like to switch from OS X to Ubuntu, but only if the
trackpad comes somewhat close to the OS X experience. Reading about all
these trackpad issues on the "supposed to be Ubuntu friendly" XPS13
leaves me still a bit unconvinced that it would be all ok by now..
