Hoping for some solid Firmware updates for the 2016 MacBook Pro - (Non Touch Bar)

[Dexter4]

I think apple has to really provide us some good firmware updates very soon. I think this is one of those designs that was rushed (no excuses after 400+ days) to the market. It has some great potential but could have been more refined. A common concern for me is the time remaining shown (iStat menu). It fluctuates like crazy (Even though I consistently get 9 hours on average and sometimes 12+ with super light browsing usage.). Which means there are some underlying stability issues where the software is struggling to keep track of. Other than that it is a great machine. I hope the next 1-2 generations would perfect it.

I was thinking that you can add a third option:
- Nothing will change until next generation

Just my concern...

i thought the non touch bar was the one that had the good battery life?

Yes I consistently get 8-9 hours on average with medium use and 11+ with light use. But the indicators are an absolute *****. It is so annoying/paranoia inducing. E.g it says 53% remaining -> 2 hours. But it actually ends up lasting 4+ hours. I have thus disabled it until Apple's manages to fix its sensors.
