Are you looking for a cheap MacBook Pro without the Touch Bar? If so, you'll want to wait a little bit longer. Apple did not update the 13-inch MacBook Pro without Touch Bar, the 12-inch MacBook or the MacBook Air yet. If you've been holding out for a cheaper 13-inch MacBook Pro with new specs and upgrades, this isn't your time to buy. Hold off and see what Apple announces this fall when macOS Mojave arrives, likely in September or October. | ||||||||||||

“Not everyone needs the best processor or 32GB of RAM, but even if you opt for a base or mid-line 2018 MacBook Pro, it’s going to last you longer and serve you better than buying an older model if you keep your notebook until it cannot do the work you need anymore.”
Can you update the SSD on a post-2015 MacBook? Are you sure your keyboard will still even work in two more years? I’d say the post-2015 models have been the most un-upgradable, un-serviceable, and (because of keyboard issues) least reliable Macs in over 15 years. Would not recommend until Apple gets its head out of its ass and starts making top-tier laptops for professionals again.
