Can't speak for the others, but the Apple laptop trackpads shown there do have a physical button, they're just styled to look as though they don't. But they absolutely do physically 'click' when you use them, and unlike the old Macs that did only have one separate, physical trackpad button, you can do both left and right clicks with the 'buttonless' ones as well.

Cheeri,
