I am the owner of a 12" Rose Gold MacBook (early 2016) and I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro (late 2016). However, I've noticed that the keyboard backlight on the MacBook is much brighter than that on the Pro. Has anyone noticed this, or is it just me?

I have the 15". The backlighting is bright, but it's just not as bright as the 12" MacBook's. I set both to the lowest setting, and I also used the highest setting. I could notice a difference between the brightness on both computers with both settings. Not sure if I should be comparing the two since they're different models, but might as well see if it's a problem since I'm still within the return window.
