Do not buy a new one until some other fool (like me) purchases one sight-unseen and shares whether the machine runs without issues.
I did this with a top-spec'd 2016 MBP that eventually got replaced with a 2017 due to the frequency of problems. Recently spent too many hours getting my 2017 repaired (& back up to its previous state) for the same issues.

Very disappointing given the price point.
