I know it's not universally loved, but I'm a fan of the newer model of MacBook Pro (this year or last year). I'd definitely max out RAM.

I got a 2016 refurbished, and even though Apple is never the cheapest, it's the best value IMO apple.com/shop/browse/home/special...

Have you experienced any issues with the keyboard? There are a ton of posts on the forums about the new butterfly keyboard being very unreliable.

The Macbook Pro 15" 2016 seems to have quite a few issues, some which were addressed in the 2017 model. I've been trying to find a 15" 2017 refurbished instead of a 2016 model with no luck. I'll probably have to go with the 13" model it looks like.
