Is Touchbar battery problem fixed? How to tell if my battery life is good?

[hello12]

I recently purchased a 13" touch bar MacBook and am wondering if I am getting good battery life or not. It seems that sometimes when I am just browsing the Internet and listening to music the battery drains fast. Not sure if I am imagining it or not due to me paying too much attention to it.
Heres a screenshot of the activity log at 65% charge left. Does that seem about right?

Why is your Safari usage so high? What kind of website you are on?

My 15inch is easily up to 10 hours. I was watching 2 hours of YouTube videos.

The intermittency of the touchbar battery models is well documented. And remains a reason for a lot of people not getting them.

Well I am out of the 2 week return policy already so I guess there is nothing I can do?

Facebook and other basic websites.. along with iMessage and mail. Is that activity monitor that I posted not good battery life for this MacBook? Wondering if I should bring it to the Apple Store...

Right now I am at 25%, listening to music and browsing the internet (this forum and a couple of other sites). And at 25% it says there is 1 hour and 32 minutes left on the activity monitor. Does this seem right?

Lower your screen brightness if you haven't already. Screen brightness has a huge impact on your battery life.

I keep it at like 50%
[doublepost=1496181860][/doublepost]So at 100% it says I have 5 hours and 37 minutes of remaining time and the only thing I am using is safari, email, and iMessage. The screen brightness is at 50%. Is it worth me going to the Apple Store for this?

Not sure how to check that. I have not changed any settings with the resolution though

Make sure you have an AV installed. Scan for malware, adware etc...
