New MacBook Pros (2016-2019) are terrible, mine (maxed out 2017 version) had a semi-dysfunctional USB-C port, screen was delaminating after 18 months, had overheating issues after 8 months (this was the quad-core version, not even the 6 or 8 core newer models), graphics card glitching so badly some days that i had to use an external monitor, screen sometimes not switching on when opening the lid, random blackouts / freezes and the last straw was the keyboard, some keys getting stuck, another one causing duplicates when you type and my e-key just snapped off, the clips keeping it in place simply broke off.
Had the laptop not been stolen after the last repairs, i would probably have thrown it away, every repair meant being without it for a week or more - totally unreliable. (compare this to my 2011 MacBook Pro which lasted for 7 years and which i sold for 50% of the price i bought it for, the news ones just can't handle heavy-duty workloads)
Going back to Linux as soon as i can find a replacement machine.
Security-wise, in the last 5 years, MacOS was actually doing worse than Windows, security on Linux is still tight compare to the other two.
