It sounds like a bug in Safari causing the cpu to kill the battery. Possibly a race condition since it's random. Guessing this will be fixed in an OS X update shortly.


If that were the case it would affect all Macs - it must be some combination of Safari and the new hardware, which I wouldn't be at all happy with if I'd just spent a ton of money on a new Macbook.

Which still doesn't mean it has anything to do with being a hardware bug.

E.g. could just be related to the Safari+Touch Bar combination.


Variance was noted on MBP Escape model (ie, no touchbar).


Do we really know it doesn't affect all Macs? Have they tried to run their exact same tests with the old MBP and the latest OS updates?
