Like most people, I was tempted to wait for the new MacBook Pro 16" with the new M1 chip coming out this year, but the more research I did, the more I realized that if you need to run Windows (work, etc.), it makes a lot of sense to buy this model. New M1-based Macs simply cannot run Windows at this time (1Q2020), and even if/when Parallels or VMWare does come out with an emulation software layer, it's performance will be questionable due to the latency introduced by performing low-level instruction translation between M1 & Intel chips. On the other hand, with this current model, Windows runs natively on Intel chips giving you the option to run it on a thin virtualization layer in Mac OS (VMWare/Parallels/Wine etc.), or at the bare metal level using Boot Camp. For anyone that wants the ability to run high-performance MS WIndows now and in the future, this is the best choice for the long run.
