Is anyone else missing the options to screenshot their Touch Bar at all? One of the first things I did was a fresh install of the OS (I'm strange like that) and I've just noticed that I cannot screenshot the touch bar at all, and the shortcuts aren't listed, even after hitting the Restore Defaults button. Any ideas on how I can sort this at all?
I don't have it either. Is it a .2 beta feature?

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 :)

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 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.

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.

Another graphics type thing i've noticed is that videos seem to be flickering not always but sometimes

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?

Anyone notice that the feature where you shake your cursor for it to enlarge not working that well on the new MacBook?
Initially I thought the feature was turned off, so I checked - occasionally it works.

New models are often imaged with a newer build. System Recovery usually won't restore this factory-build.

Sorry to interrupt your time with your lovely machines but does anyone know if any 2.9GHz/2TB/460 configurations have been delivered in Europe (and especially the UK) yet?

I have the correct build and it's not showing up for me. No idea what's going on. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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?

Any good?
