I use the a late 2016 MacBook Pro and had similar issues (even had the keyboard replaced with a 2017 keyboard and it's great now) but overall I'm still happy as the crashing seems to be entirely related to the external monitor usage and that's no longer something I do. FWIW if you have the laptop open when you connect and disconnect the external monitor(s) it doesn't seem to crash in my experience.

That said, some of the people at our office love some of the latest Lenovo ThinkPad models and are running Linux.

I have a 2016 MPB had the same issue with the external monitor when I was using a 3rd party dongle (which was half the price of Apple's dongles). I have now bought Apple's dongle and no issues with the monitor.
