Battery life on tbMBP 15" base model with real life usage.

[Cole Slaw]

Here is the estimated battery life with just safari open, seriously what the hell is going on at Apple?

What going on at Apple?
Thinner at all costs is what's going on.

This is from my brand new MBP. Clearly something is very wrong. Not sure what to do at this point.

My friend, you have a seriously faulty unit. Return it!

Reinstalled sierra. I get 8 hours. With absolute MINIMAL use. Absolute minimal. Once I start to fire up Music and Mail, it drops to 6 hours very very quickly. That is just very bad and thats also why I am returning this piece of (very expensive) crap.

I get 30% less batterylife on this one when compared to my old one, when doing the same stuff. That is not acceptable.

Still too damn thick!!!! Thinner!! I demand thinner!!

I've been testing a refurb 2015 v. New 2016 and the 2015 refurb is around 30% more battery doing the same task. 2016 great laptop , but I am not loosing 1/3 battery life.....apples 10 hours is simply not true

I've had mine for a bit more than a week now, and results are highly variable. I've gotten as much as 9.5 hours, and as little as 4, all with (from my point of view) comparable usage.

I recommend all of you perform an SMC reset. I consistently get 8-11 hrs from mine daily. This includes me using safari, about 4-5 tabs open, Xcode project, word document, all at the same time. Screen brightness usually around 70-75%, keyboard backlight around 25%.

If still no luck, have apple take a look at it.
