The idea of changing my 2015 MBP for something else is a tough one to accept, my biggest beef with the recent Air being the heat issues: the fan on the previous Air is so useless it's laughable[1] and they completely removed it on the new one, I remain skeptical.

I just upgraded my 2015 MBP to a 16" 2019 MBP. I specifically bought it now so that I have an Intel chip because I don't want to deal with the headache while things slowly switch over.

I hadn't realized how much faster computers had gotten since 2015, this new machine runs circles around the old one. The keyboard is great and I actually like the touch bar. 0 regrets, it's an upgrade in every single way.

If your needs require high CPU utilization for extended time periods, you might be better off what the new MacBook Pro. The Air is intended for more causal use cases.
