I bought a loaded one recently.
I'm assuming that the transition to ARM will take a while, especially for the upper-end of the Mac range, and I need x86 virtualisation and native Bootcamp support for the kind of work I do.
I'm also assuming that once my 16" becomes obsolete, I'll replace it with an ARM Macbook of some sort and keep a slim & light x86 machine to hand for the Windows/Linux x86 applications I can't do without.
The new ARM-based Microsoft laptops will feature emulation for both 32-bit and now 64-bit x86 software, so it's feasible that by the time I'll have to switch I'll be able to at least run Windows apps under emulation within an ARM Win10 VM.

First Arm Macs rumoured to be announced next month so once the cards are down I'd weigh up your options, but pretty much what @ectoplasmosis said.

Looking to buy a laptop in the very near future, MBP 16 is on the shortlist.
Can get one for a good price with discount and vouchers, but wondering if the imminent release of the ARM powered versions makes buying one now a bad move?
