As I just bought a 16" 2019 the difference in performance with the i7 2015 I came from is shockingly small. The only thing I really feel day-by-day is the 1TB SSD versus the 512GB one in the 2015.
I regret spending the money on upgrading even while I like the hardware in general. I enjoy extra screen real estate, especially after turning my Touch Bar into the dock using Pock. Sound is better. USB-C / TB3 is amazing, bought a cheap $50 dock with a card reader I need about once a month. Keyboard is good.
But when I go back to my 2015 I'm just as happy.
ARM chips could enable it to have better battery life while having a larger and longer sustaining peak performance. Who wouldn't want a machine that lasts 15 hours on a full battery while outperforming the last Mac Pro when working in Final Cut Pro?
