I have the same, but the proprietary SSD interface and soldered RAM mean I can no longer upgrade so have to move on. I'm looking at either the Lenovo E490 or T490 (learning towards the E). For half the price (in the UK) of a current-gen MBP with an i5, 512GB SSD and 8 GB DDR3, I can get a base model Lenovo E490 with i7 and upgrade to 1TB SSD and 24GB DDR4. There's just no competition.

How fast is the SSD on that machine?

The Mac or the Lenovo?
I'm not sure about the Macbook's bundled SSD.
For the Lenovo, I'm incorporating the cost of upgrading to a 1TB Samsung 970 Evo Plus NVMe SSD (which has a stated sequential read/write speed of 3500/3300 MB/s).
And because the Lenovo is not using a proprietary connector (as my current Macbook is) and does not have soldered RAM (as my current Macbook does), I can upgrade both of those components down the line too.
