I also work in corporate - my 2017 Touchbar feels insanely slower than my partner's 2013, or sometimes even my late 2011.
Not to mention the awful keyboard and non-upgradable parts.
Outlook is a nightmare - heck, the Office suite has been awful essentially since it's rewrite from being PPC-only for 2008.
Not only did we have to wait way too long for a native Intel version / Universal Binary - but when it arrived, it was slow and clunky on both pieces of hardware.
But worse than office - our entire team is now being migrated to cloud-based email that virtualizes itself in an IE window, and responds to clicks and scrolls about 40% of the time.
It looks awful, it performs awful, I've never experienced quite a terrible piece of software. Weird, virtualized, Office 365 - unless you're on Windows, I couldn't imagine this working for you.
