Sufficient, yes. Optimal? Well that depends. Where do you naturally rest your thumbs? Some people find that they're accidentally triggering mouse events because their thumbs make contact with the track-pad. If you're used to a separate mouse, you may find that its preferable to attach a mouse to your laptop. And maybe even disable the track-pad when a mouse is attached. That way if you want to take your laptop to the coffee shop and just hang out, you can just use the track-pad. If you're in space with a desk, you can pull out your mouse and get a more office-like experience.

But you'll have to try it and see. You may find you're comfortable with the built in track-pad. You may find you despise the thing and only use it when you absolutely have to.
Keep Calm and Carry On
