Decent Nvidia GPU (GTX 10xx or equiv.). I want/need to be able to write CUDA code on my main work machine. I'm also not buying a machine with less than 64 GB of RAM as my main work machine any more. Without that I cannot justify the price of a MBP, since I'll have to buy a second machine to complement it.
Who is offering 64GB laptops right now?
This will sound trite, but I'm completely serious. The number one thing I want to see in the next MacBook Pro is the abandonment of the Touch Bar. Make it a row on the keyboard again. I didn't think that the Touch Bar was useful when I first saw it, and now, six months later, I haven't found one more reason that I'd want ever want it. I don't want haptic feedback or any other kind of improvement. Apple made a mistake…
I can see the value in having programmable buttons...but why they put that bar there instead of little OLED screens on all the Function keys amazes me.
More ports. The new version only has four, and one is for power. My 2015 model has power, two thunderbolt, two usb, hdmi, sd card, audio in. I use all of them most days. I'd also want an option with the higher travel keyboard and function keys. I use those frequently. I tried the lower travel keyboard on a macbook, and it hurt my arms.

I have top of the line late-2013 model, i7 with 1T SSD and 16G RAM. There was no reason to upgrade whatsoever so far, and current MacBooks are not appealing to me at all. Mostly I would like them to return good things back and introduce new things they implemented in other products. Absolutely NO WAY to the Touch Bar. As long as it's there, I'm not even looking further. It can have 512GB RAM or all-gold unibody or wh…

I also hate the touch bar, but far worse is how they ruined all the other keys with the new, super loud low travel design. I want the keyboard from my 2013 model back. It was nearly perfect.
I always feel like a curmudgeon saying this but they really screwed this up. And i say that as someone who's completely fine with the newer thinkpad keyboards even.
Quadcore with HT 13inch. With Intel 8th generation CPUs, i5 and i7 will become quadcore. Now the question is will Apple use i3 or older generation CPUs for the 13inch or give the 13inch quadcore+ht like the current 15inch.
I'm still plugging away on a 2012 rMBP, so i'm a prime customer to pitch this hypothetical quad 13in model too. I like the size! I don't need the big screen! I would bite even if this was a BTO or higher end model!
