One issue with the touchbar is that, as far as I know, there is know non-touchbar version of the 2017 MBP.

Ugh that is really annoying. Now they're forcing it on us. My 2012 may be my last mbp if that is the case.

I tried typing on one of the newer mbp in store, and I really didn't like how the keys felt or how large the track pad is now

What is Apple doing?? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Check used markets for an older mbp then. I assume you know what you're doing and will do due diligence on the machines you'll look at.

Touchbar has no appeal for me either. I'm tempted to just put tape over it for now. My boyfriend has a mbp from 2017 and I just try to ignore it... I don't think he uses it much.
