I'm in the exact same boat as you. I have a mid 2014 macbook running 10.12.6. It's way better than my work laptop. The work laptop is a maxed 15" macbook a year or two old, and it can barley handle video conferences, let alone bazel compilations or debugging in vscode. Keyboard and touchbar are a mess as expected. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I'm going go straight to a Linux/windows desktop, since I'm working from home anyways. More ram, cpu and a real modern video card is basically what I want, and I won't get that with a mac.

I have a late 2013 macbook running 10.14.6 and it's quite pleasant.

  I have a mid 2012 MBP running 10.14.6 without any issues. I was thinking about building a desktop to run Ubuntu Studio, but was worried about the trackpad and the complete loss of portability. Now I'm seriously looking at the MBA with the M1 processor spec'd to 16Gb RAM and 512Gb storage.

>The work laptop is a maxed 15" macbook a year or two old, and it can barley handle video conferences, let alone bazel compilations I was in a similar boat. Top spec macPro, all the bells and whistles...and the machine ground to a halt trying to compile anything. Rust was particularly bad, but the worst was trying to compile modules for ONOS, which needed some custom Bazel massaging to begin with. First time in my life the "compiling!" xkcd strip[0] was relevant to my life. [0] https://xkcd.com/303/ https://xkcd.com/303/
