I wouldn't recommend buying any MacBooks (Pro, Air or regular) made after 2015 due to the terrible keyboards with butterfly switches in the later models prone to problems with dust and debris getting under the keys and affecting how they work, to the point that some keys don't work at all.

Apple will replace the keyboard if yours has the problem, but I believe they only replace it with the same or slightly better designed one. It's likely to fail again down the road.

Rumors in the last week indicate Apple is finally ditching the butterfly switches for MacBooks coming out this summer or fall and going back to the previous design, but I'll believe it when they're released.

Also, Apple is currently repairing the 2015 model MacBook Pro for a battery that's a possible fire hazard, it's a free repair, just take it into any authorized Apple repair facility or to an Apple Store. If you don't live near one, I believe you can call Apple and they'll ship a box to you for returning it for repair.
