Glad I'm not alone, maybe it is a .2 beta feature or some such. It's frustrating though, as I only found out about that because my Touch Bar is being weird with Safari Tabs for some reason. This is a photo of 2 tabs (this had been working just fine all day) and it looks... weird...

I don't have it either you're not alone!
Anyone else have to do a screen calibrate?My 15" was slightly too warm (yellow) but it looks great now I've cooled it down a bit
I cooled mine too, just a matter of preference

That is weird! Hopefully .2 will solve a lot of these niggles.
I'm having that bug too.
Also an annoying bug where the Touch Bar seek function for iTunes playback freezes.
Seems quitting and restarting Safari fixed that issue for me. So at least we have a stopgap solution until a more permanent one is released.
In part I guess so, but on Blackmagic's Disk Speed Test I get the same on the write, but I suppose it's the program that maxes out at that speed...I think those higher speeds are thanks to your 1TB drive!
Just thought I'd chime in here. I've owned many Macs over the last 20 years. This is up there with one of the best experiences I've ever had.
Each time I buy a new generation I ask myself, how can this possibly be improved upon? I still remember thinking that about the first unibody MBP. Every single ounce of this machine screams quality. It's a product that is so well refined, it's exceptional.
Apple have done an amazing job here. I do not have a single complaint about this machine. The keyboard is amazing, so tight yet responsive. The trackpad, well, Apple have always been ahead in this area and they've just pushed that boat even further. Nothing can touch this experience. The touch bar is awesome and I can see this becoming really useful.
It is also the quietest MacBook I've ever used, with perhaps the exception of the rMB, which it's on a par with. The display is wow. It's just an absolutely incredible product.

I think you hit the nail on the head with "quality". Apple has been doing unibody aluminium since 2008 and yet no other manufacturer has got within touching distance of Apple's industrial design and build quality. And each generation improves it.
So.. after a few days with the 13" Stock MBP. First of all, I have NOT performed a fresh install (as in: reinstall Sierra) but just reinstalled my apps. What I noticed, was that my TouchBar was less brighter than my brothers.
I have checked if SIP was enabled and indeed, none of both machines had it enables. I performed a PRAM reset on both machines. Both of them have SIP enabled now. I do not use FileVault and so far I did not notice any glitches.
For those concerned about the battery life: the first day was a drama, but your battery will be better after a few days! I spent 10 hours on my MacBook today from 100 to 0.

Could you guys check if you keyboard dims after five seconds (as it should)?
The default setting is for the backlighting to turn off after five seconds of inactivity to save power. However, I noticed mine wasn't.
I went to the keyboard settings in system preferences and it was indeed set to turn off after five seconds. Weird. Changing it to 10 seconds and then back to 5 seconds seems to have fixed it.
Perhaps this will give everyone a little bit extra battery life.

That was definitely the same for me. My keyboard wasn't dimming until I toggled this to 10 seconds and back. Now it's behaving as expected. That's got to be worth some battery life, right?
New models are often imaged with a newer build. System Recovery usually won't restore this factory-build.

I have the correct build and it's not showing up for me. No idea what's going on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's the build that I have after doing an Internet Recovery. Screenshot options still aren't there...
Last night I did a fresh install of Sierra - I downloaded it from the App Store, created a bootable USB drive etc.
I didn't check the build number my MBP 15" came with but after the fresh install it is 16B2657. Shouldn't it be 16B2659? At least that one seems more recent to me...
[doublepost=1480061426][/doublepost]BTW does anyone around here have this dock?
