Well a maxed out 2018 15" MBP is like $6,700.
But half that cost is for the 4TB PCIe SSD.
Whiskerswhich one are you getting

Wish they updated the iMac today, too. My desk setup 2011 MacBook Pro isn't supported on Mojave and it's getting a little tired out. I still have my 2016 13-inch MacBook Pro but since I want to have iTunes stored on my NAS I want something stationary since I won't have any access to it if I'm off my home network.

Here’s the really good part: I can tell you it’s there, but I can’t definitively prove it’s a reliability fix. After all, Apple told The Verge that “this new third-generation keyboard wasn’t designed to solve those [dust] issues.”
Apple is in the middle of several class-action lawsuits for the failure of their keyboards, so of course they can’t just come out and say, “Hey, we fixed it!” That says there was a problem to begin with. But you’ve heard that clever analysis from John Gruber already. I’m just here to posit: the advertised boost in quietude is a side-effect of this rubbery membrane. The quiet angle is, quite literally, a cover up.
