To be at all interesting, this would have to have a good keyboard (as in the 2015 MBP), and an optional touchbar.

For what its worth, I just picked up the latest gen and the keyboard seems like a real improvement in both feel and noise. The Touch Bar still sucks, but I am happy with the keyboard.

It will hopefully contain a lot of features people asked for like a better keyboard, Face ID, more connectivity, etc. And just like the Mac Pro the starting price will probably be enormous, I wouldn't be surprised if the base model is $2.5K or more.

And I wouldn't have problem with that at all. My 2015 Macbook Pro has been worth every penny. I used it every day and it's still going strong. Before I bought this MBP I tried every Windows machine money can buy and I always had problems, both hardware and software.

If Apple goes back to making products that are generally without problems, I'll upgrade to the newest model at launch day. The keyboard woes definitely held me back.
