(Although I’m writing specifically about the 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, the following discussion applies equally to any MacBook Pro with a discrete graphics card.) One of those problems centered around the way macOS switched between the built-in Intel graphics processor and the discrete AMD Radeon Pro graphics card available in the 15-inch models. The upside of the tempest was that Apple was able to fix some graphics and battery life issues in the macOS Sierra 10.12.2 and 10.12.3 updates. For a while, Consumer Reports refused to recommend the MacBook Pro because of battery life, although their testing methodology was questionable (see “ Why We Should Care about the Consumer Reports MacBook Pro Rating,” 12 January 2017). Although Apple boasts up to 10 hours of performance per charge, I wasn’t seeing anything near that on my machine. Shortly after the 2016 MacBook Pro with Touch Bar began shipping, battery life became a hot topic.
