I was looking at the hardware in the new Macbook Pro.
I ended up saving a thousand dollars by getting a 21” iMac upgraded.
21.5-inch iMac with Retina 4K display
3.3GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz
16GB 1867MHz LPDDR3
2TB Fusion Drive
Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200
Magic Mouse 2
Magic Keyboard (English) & Users Guide
Accessory Kit
Like your solution. Really disappointed in Apple’s decision to not allow users to upgrade memory or even the SSD’s. If I am willing to accept less battery life with a 32 or 64 GB memory upgrade, that should be MY choice.
