I was having the same problem, I think, with a very new schenker h507 (p651rp6, essentially your same laptop) using arch linux. It got fixed magically by enabling arch "testing" repository, which contains very recent versions of linux-firmware, libinput (I'm not using synaptics) and others. Now my touchpad (and everything else) works. Sorry for not being more specific as of which package update fixed it - I'm moving forward now from this. In any case, this means that the problem is already fixed and the solution will eventually make it to the main distros. If you cannot wait, you could give arch (with the testing repo enabled) a try (using antergos to install makes it a breeze). Let me know if you need more help.

See http://www.clevo.com/clevo_prodetail.asp?id=958&lang=en The trackpad is not detected. xinput does not display a trackpad device nor is the device listed in cat /proc/bus/input/devices which is uploaded as a file entitled devices. The trackpad device is a Synaptics SMBus TouchPad. Please let me know if I incorrectly reported this bug as it is my first for Ubuntu. I followed the instructions listed on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection in the section called "In case your Touchpad doesn't work at all (No response from the Touchpad)".
