Aside from the RAM limit, a new 15" MBP should address your issues to some degree, no?

Pricey! And while the touch bar is an excellent addition, I wish they didn't remove function keys. Half of my IntelliJ IDEA shortcuts are mapped to function keys. :( Also, no CUDA. I understand it isn't Apple's fault to stick with AMD instead of nVidia, however, OpenCL is not nearly as popular as CUDA-based frameworks.

For the moment, for the same price I've assembled the ultimate desktop: Core i7 6700K, 32G RAM, nVidia GTX 1080, 2x512 SSD, 4K display. I don't know what else to wish for. OK, I'll have to live with Ubuntu, but the hardware is worth it.

I am keeping my thin Macbook'2015 for travel-related stuff: 80% of tasks I can do with that, and for remaining 20%, I can do remote desktop connection to my home machine.
