I am in a similar boat man. I didn’t sell mine so much as wipe it and give it to my wife. The one thing I am not going to do is ask her for it back now, so I need to find a workable solution for myself
Got a tip for us?

I also wouldn’t accept any of that damage on a $3500 machine so please don’t feel bad about returning it straight away.
Ah, that's frustrating. Don't feel bad about returning it. I also wouldn't accept that. It's just a shame that you'll have to wait for another replacement.
Well mine will never make 10 days because I have to return it since I received the replacement unit. Doing this tomorrow and wiping it this evening so it's ready to leave it at some UPS Access Point.

Yeah, a bit disappointing and frustrating. Remove the plastic wrap, open the box, remove it from the inner sleeve and remove the paper and "Oh damn.. what is that? Crap."
Fingers crossed. Keep us updated.

I'm in the same situation. My replacement 13" will arrive tomorrow. Luckily, the woman who helped me set up the replacement said it'll get its own 14 day return/refund period and that it can actually be 30 days so I'll have time to see how it is. Unless it's flawless it's going back and I'll be getting a refund and holding off to see what happens with iMacs in the coming months.
Is anybody running benchmarks to check for different cpu power/cooling behavior as these builds progress?
I'm not. I've never been a huge fan of running benchmarks. I base my thoughts off of the performance in my own workflow.
Totally. The T2 and Bridge OS effectively replace the functions of the SMC. Asking bc delta in scores and behavior since the 10.13.6 Supplemental Update may indicate Apple doing further tweaking on the power systems feeding and regulating the CPU. T2/BridgeOS version changes indicate something is being modified there. We don't yet know what.
I have a new 2018 Macbook Pro 13" TB with the exact same issue. I can consistently make it crash by closing lid, letting it sleep, plug into Apple "USB-C Digital Multiport Adapter" and open lid.
Got a 2018 MacBook Pro on Friday, returning it today. I spoke with support, Apple engineers are aware of the issue (that it is effecting both the 2018 iMac Pro and MacBook Pro) but no idea when it will be resolved. I took the time to let Apple collect my Capture Data. Then I wiped the machine and setup a return.
If I were you or anyone considering a new Mac, I would avoid buying the iMac Pro or 2018 MacBook until Apple can resolve this...

No problems yet, but I’ve not seen a crash in a while now. The beta seems pretty solid.
For me, the panics have occurred while the lid is closed and laptop is charging. Roughly once every four days. No real custom configuration. FileVault and Touch ID enabled.
What I find most interesting is that during use, light use even, the keyboard is noticeably warm to the touch (approximately in the top left, E, R, 4, 3 keys). Looking at logic board diagrams, this is right above the T2 chip. Running iStats shows that the "Platform Controller Hub Die" is running at 48°C. That sounds like the T2 chip. It is roughly 5-10°C warmer than any other component, including CPU and GPU.
Are others experiencing a warm keyboard like this?

The whole MacBook runs warmer than any MacBook I've used before and I guess that's the price you pay for adding a couple more cores to each model but mostly retaining the same cooling system. Looking in iStat Menus now, I'm getting mid 50s for Platform Controller Hub Die, whatever that is, but I was just watching a 4K video on YouTube and the fans were going a bit crazy so I guess it's hotter than it typically would be.
If you have it, could you share the Crash Report, please. I would be interested in studying it to see where it may differ.
If you have the time, it would be most helpful to have the output of the commands:
`pmset -g` and `pmset -g log`
These describe you current settings, and history of power management issues, respectively.
Thanks!
I ended up returning my MBP yesterday. They offered to send me a replacement but everything I've read indicates that the replacement is likely to experience the same issues. So I figured I would just return it while I could. I'm going to go back to my 2012 MBP for now and keep an eye on how this whole thing pans out.
