Wonder how they managed to get 17.25 hours with the latest update. Updated yesterday but battery lasted barely 6 hours with normal surfing on Firefox and chat on Telegram. Actually most of the time was idle. mad.gif

ps. the screen brightness was set less than half the bar and bluetooth off. Nothing was connected to the mbp.
Hopefully is was not the firefox that drained the battery.

Sorry, what I meant using "latest update" was the beta 10.12.3 (Beta) update.

It will not magically double battery, if u have a look at their battery test the brightness is 100 nits, that's 1/5 from full brightness.

I did not wish it to double. Only wish the battery live as advertised on apple webpage. tongue.gif

Force touch would complicate the touch bar even more. And the touchbar is at your peripheral vision so you don't really have to "look down" and view it. The auto correction is stupid but the history viewer/filter silder in Photoshop with touch bar is great. It depends on how well developed the app is and I believe it will just get better over time.

The butterfly switch keyboard takes some time to get used to... and I don't know but it's the best keyboard I've ever used.

Do you own one?  blink.gif
Can return if you not happy and bought from Apple..

I fell in love with the keyboard immediately. I have no bad feeling about the touch bar either. Looking down slightly while using my notebook is not a big deal for me. biggrin.gif And I bought it after I tried this 2 features.

Managed to improve my battery significantly after I checked the "Automatically graphics switching" box in the Energy saving setup.
Damn... don't know when or why I unchecked it earlier.

Sent my MBP (TB) 2016 to apple store in HK. Space bar not working right.
3 days later (yesterday), they called to let me know that I can collect my MBP. And to my surprise, they changed it with the 2nd generation keyboard. Also, my speaker which kaput a few months earlier are fixed too. And just now, I realized that my MBP battery also brand new with Cycle Count = 0.

All FOC.

Seems that they will change the whole top panel which included speaker and battery.

Note: My warranty was expired 5 months ago.
