I recently upgraded from a 2015 MBP to the latest 2019 MBP, and I actually think it surpasses the older model in almost every way. So far I haven't experienced any of the keyboard issues that people have been reporting, although I'm aware that this model has a membrane that was put in to prevent those issues. My only gripe is the need to have a dongle to connect HDMI and USB 2.0, but I still wouldn't go back to the 2015 over it. On a side note, I bought a new iPhone SE to see how it compared to the iPhone XS because HN raves about the SE so much. It was pretty underwhelming and there was just absolutely no way I could justify replacing the XS with it.

I love my SE but you really need to be OK with worse battery performance than normal and a bit slower of a phone. I don't think anyone should say it's strictly better than a phone released in the last two years ... but all of these things are preference-based decisions.

I think the XS is a better phone in all aspects except for it’s fragility, no headphone jack and less-than-optimal size. Give me an X in the same frame size as the SE and I pack my sleeping bag and make sure I’m first in the queue for the Store

We are the silent majority (I think). I'm also very happy with the new keyboard and actually came to hate the old 2015 model keyboard. I live in a relatively dusty place/country that you can see grain dust on top of the laptop at the end of the week. I was concerned reading reports before buying the laptop. But now it's almost a year and the keyboard is fine. My guess is: - Some models have problems. - Some people are not comfortable with the keyboard and thus make typing mistakes? Does it have no cons though? Not really. The trackpad is huge and sometimes I mistakenly click with my palm. The Touchbar is sometimes useful but also slower than typing on a regular keyboard (esc/sound/luminosity).
