I bought the MacBook Pro 2017 13" without touch bar with an i7. I pretty happy with it, but, the only thing that bothers me is it gets hot. Hot as hell. Skype sharing the screen and JetBrains CLion and you get a beautiful roaster.

FYI, I went through the same experience as you and returned it after discovering the non-touchbar model has one less fan. Apple clearly hates the customers who don't want to buy the touch bar model.

The non-touchbar laptop uses a lower-TDP part (15W vs 27W or something).

Too late. It's been a while since I have it.

The temperature is something that bothers me but is usable, I guess.

I have a 2016 Touchbar 13", doing anything Eclipse gets it hot. And I also have a 2016 15" that gets hot once you plug a monitor in. Not unusable or super hot, but just hot.
