So the best option here is to go with base 2.2ghz model, customised the rest as you like, install Xcode and disable 2 physical cores...?
No its the lowest spec CPU with 32GB Ram, top graphics and whatever storage you want.

The 2.2GHz model with 6 cores active should be fine (if I understood the review correctly). The higher base clock speeds don't buy you much.So the best option here is to go with base 2.2ghz model, customised the rest as you like, install Xcode and disable 2 physical cores...?

I think many would say keep the 2015 for now!All notebookcheck said was is that the 2.2 might be better. I haven’t seen any evidence that it actually is. If it can maintain base speed when pegged I might still consider it. 32Gb, 1Tb, 2.2 was the spec I had my eye on from the start anyway. 2015 is still working well though, so I might just hold off for a potential 2019 redesign.
They really screwed the pooch on this one imo.

Will the bad PR ever end? Apple has been facing a lot of issues recently.
Here's the type of review that Louis Rossman was complain about.
First of all, people who point out flaws in a product are not "haters."To all the apple haters here, can you guys recommend a good windows replacement for macbook pro 2018. Need to make a buying decision soon.

Second, you didn't provide enough information to make a recommendation. What are you expecting to use this laptop for? What programs do you expect to run? What do you value more -- battery life, computing power, the ability to play high end games, portability, looks? How much are you willing to spend?
All of this needs to be answered before any recommendation can be made and don't be surprised if one of us "haters" suggests a different model MBP.
Seems like apple’s fault, not intel’s, if it’s true. Apple designed the thermal solution for the MBP.
Apple should go back to the original retina form factor. It would allow for superior cooling, battery, ports, etc. It might not be enough to cool the i9 sufficiently, but it would certainly help.
Man - my i9 machine has just shipped so too late to cancel.
I don't know whether to just keep it or return it!!
Will be used with FCPX mainly - general 1080p editing really so nothing intensive as such. My main concern is the heat build up affecting the lifespan of the notebook over anything else....
May just cancel and re-order the i7......
I don't think that is happening ever again, though it would be a nice change. They won't accept their wrongdoings.
Don't get offended when I said 'haters'. Reading this thread and other reddit comments i felt like this macbook pro is the worst thing that apple build. Lots of negative stuff about touch bar, keyboard, processor etc. I currently own a 2015 macbook pro (given to me by the workplace) I have to return it soon and buy a new model. I use it for number crunching, running cpu intensive scripts, occasional graphics rendering, basically for scientific computing. I can't use a desktop right now because i have to travel frequently. What i noticed was current 16 GB ram is sometime not enough for me because I work with large datasets. I looked at other windows 32GB machines, such as dell xps15 and aero 15x, but there seems to be lots of issues with those laptops as well. I personally like the macos, but don't mind windows and especially ubuntu. I am wondering is there a good alternative for a 32GB laptop (not the gaming ones as they are too heavy for travel). The new macbook pro looks promising but the keyboard, processor and the price giving me second thoughts. Anyway, i am fine with an i7 processor as long as it gives me reasonable clock speed for some period of time.
the windows laptop performs better because premiere pro is better optimized for windows. i9 has issues in ALL laptops... windows laptop is i7 sixcore. But the point is that premiere is optimized for windows and runs like **** on macOS.Yup, some people are blaming this on Intel's i9, but it's not. The same chipset in a Windows laptop performs way better (see the video). This is Apple's thermal packaging and throttling. Maybe they can tweak this through software, but I fully agree with Dave in the video.... a premium price _needs_ to come with premium performance. Period.

Not only that it actually, if I understand correctly it makes use of the nVidia CUDA while on the macOS it only uses the OpenCL instead of Metal (graphics or compute) - so with Windows I don't think it will push the CPU as hard. It will be interesting if the promised redevelopment of their suite to also run on the iPad will include migrating the macOS one to the native much more efficient library (might have been pushed due to the rumoured depreciation of OpenCL on macOS).the windows laptop performs better because premiere pro is better optimized for windows. i9 has issues in ALL laptops... windows laptop is i7 sixcore.

That said, i9 is obviously cooled unsufficiently and because of the video im holding back with the order.
My 2017 model doesn’t throttle much, and when running cpu intensive tasks, when the new model throttles the 2017 models run faster.... According to tests people like dave2d have ran... it’s the main reason I’m keeping my 2017 instead of ‘upgrading’
Maybe find a good deal for one on eBay
Beyond that.... Dell xps? Lg gram?
Did you have any trouble with the keyboard? I am enjoying the 2015 keyboard. I tested the new keyboard in an apple store; although i don't like it that much, i can live with it. What I am worried about is the keyboard failure issue. After all, the only reason for me for preferring apple over other windows products is their quality control. Don't want to spend over 2k if i cannot use the product for at least 5 years.
