A year and a half ago I bought a base-level 13" mbp with 8G ram, 128G ssd, and no touchbar. I have really enjoyed using it, and I fortunately haven't had any keyboard issues yet. I've been toying with the idea of upgrading for more RAM, so I can do my minimal Windows and Linux work in VMs and get rid of my other dedicated, rarely used laptops. When I found out that all macbook pros have touchbars now, I scoured the internet for a new 13" mbp with function keys. I got the last one from BH Photo, with 16G ram and 1TB ssd. I was very happy to find it. I hope I get a few years out of it, and I hope I don't have keyboard issues with it.
