Which Macbook Pro to get? 2017 with Touchbar or 2015?

[Samtastic95]

I am wondering which MacBook Pro I should get. I got 2 options here.

The 2015 Macbook Pro with USB 3.0 ports or the 2017 Macbook Pro with the USB type-C ports and a touch bar.

The 2017 Macbooks are around in the £2000 range whilst the 2015 Macbook Pros are in the £!000 range. What would you recommend?

I'd get the one without the touch bar; most definitely.

I would get the latest tech I don’t mind springing for few cables to get peripherals working and I don’t Use f keys so the touchbar would be more useful for me. However we could be only a month or two from mbp updates so I would wait if possible.

Wait for WWDC! I feel like a broken record saying that on all the posts but really, I think it'd be worth the wait.

You don't mention price, but If the 2015 price is near 2k, I can't justify spending that much money on a product that is 3 years old. Since we're just a handful of weeks away from WWDC, I'd say defer the decision until we see what apple may do.

2015.

Unless, of course, you want to spend time and annoyance replacing the keyboard if you should actually use it.

If battery life is important for you, I vote for the MBP 2017 without Touch Bar.
PS: Sorry, did not notice that there is no such option. Then I would wait for WWDC

I use the 2015 as my daily driver and the 2017 for video editing, both top spec 15 inch.

If you don't need one right this moment I would recommend waiting to see what 2018 has to offer, but the 2015 model is still up to par with todays standards, especially if you get top spec.
