I use the latest 2018 one for work. It's ok but just ok. Personally I will not be buying a MacBook pro as the current models stand. Not a fan of the touchbar. I accidentally hit buttons on it as i rest the tips of my fingers on the top row, the siri button on the top right above delete was the biggest problem. Likewise I hate the context of the keys switching between apps, the escape key dispersing or volume buttons diapering. I've configured the touchbar to be a fixed constant layout now so the keys do not change however I've had a few instances where it's gone completely blank and had to restart. The lack of tactile feel is a big loss. I've also had a few times where I thought I hit the famous keyboard issue with dust in the keys. Luckily after a few keypresses whatever was in the keys worked it's way out. The size etc is nice especially comparing to my 2011 MBP however I feel it's now form over function. The 2011 I pimped out with upgraded memory and SSD, that's no longer possible and you have to spec it up front at cost. The 2015 model I have is probably the best model for form/function however that's still a 2015 model 3 years out of date. Most of my work is in the terminal, Emacs or tools that run on Linux, the only Mac software I really love and will be hard to loose is 1Password. I've got a 2018 IMac as a desktop which I considered ok value for an all in one with good screen but feel if I need to buy a personal laptop instead of using works, as it stands I'll likely get a Dell XPS or similar and go back to Linux on the desktop. Based on the Surface Book Go being able to run Linux the next gen versions of Surface Book could also be interesting if they also follow the Go. For me to buy a MBP now they'd have to loose the touchbar, fix the keyboard, come down in price for memory/disk as no longer up-gradable. All unlikely to happen.
