While shopping for a new laptop, I am noticing many of them no longer have the scrolling area on the touch pad, and the ones that do, function terribly, they are laggy or inaccurate and don't support middle mouse clicking.

Does anyone know of any software (windows) that would enable the scrolling on a touch pad that doesn't have it built in?

Try to find a system using a Synaptics Touch pad

The UltraNav Trackpoint on IBM / Lenovo Thinkpad systems is a good option also
but it depends on the system,
some use ALPS touch pad as the underlying hardware
while others use a Synaptics touch pad

middle click can be achieved using
Ctrl+Click
but may not work in all apps or not work as expected
