I don't think the future looks very good for MBPs - Apple openly considers their iPad Pro to be the future of personal computers so those people are going to be their next generation of 'power user'...

Desktop and laptop sales are down and performance improvements have ground to a halt and Intel have hit a manufacturing ceiling. It feels like x86 is in the last phase of being massively useful - VR needs big GPUs but those are being decoupled from x86, phones/tablets are overwhelmingly ARM, IOT is overwhelmingly ARM.

Still can't develop apps for iPad Pro on an iPad Pro.
Maybe this event will announce such a thing - programming is on their mind too:
