Well, my MBP is 10 months old, the 2016 model (not the touch bar model) and I get 15 hours battery still, after daily rigorous development use since buying it.

Just as I don't think there is such a thing as a perfect place to live, a perfect person to spend your life with, a perfect food to eat every day of your life, I also don't think the perfect computer company exists, the perfect laptop exists... But when I weigh all the conveniences and quality of my MBP with other non-Apple machines I've owned, it really is a no-brainer for me.

Mine is the 2016 13".

I guess the 15" has a bigger battery.

Mine is 15". It does depend of course what you do on the machine. I'm typically just running emacs all day, which is lightweight.

Yes, of course and I am a web dev and have lots of windows open, but this is definitely a lot worse than anything I've used before.

I personally think that it's the screen. Not sure. As we're speaking, Finder is taking up 12GB of memory as well as lots of CPU: https://imgur.com/a/RwSvI (I just installed High Sierra 2 days ago, though).
