I have the 15" 2018 MacBook Pro and would not recommend one until the following issues are resolved:
- It runs really, really hot. It cannot be used on your lap. I cannot imagine how hot a faster model would be.
- The keyboard is unreliable. I have not had the stuck key problem (yet!), but I do notice occasional crunching like something is stuck in the keys. I do not eat around this machine on purpose.
- The Touchbar is really bad. I wanted to like it. But, it is annoying more times than it is helpful.
- Not having a touchscreen when every other high end machine does seems more and more like a gap that needs to be resolved.
- Windows management continues to be crap in OSX.
There are a lot of good things. The screen is good. The touchpad is top notch. OSX is reliable and fast. But, yeah, the hardware just sucks right now. No way around it.
I agree that the default OS window management is pretty limited but this can literally be solved for $5 or less (sometimes $1) using utilities on the App Store that perform snapping, saved layouts, etc.
