Barron's:  

On Thursday, Consumer Reports declined to endorse the latest line of MacBook Pros. It's the first time that the ratings magazine hasn't given its "recommended" rating to a MacBook Pro. 

The magazine said that the computers did well in terms of display quality and performance. The problem is the battery. In its testing, Consumer Reports found battery life in the MacBook Pros ranged from as little as 3.75 hours up to 19.5 hours. That's an unusual amount of variation. Apple claims the laptop batteries last up to 10 hours per charge.

The magazine repeated its tests after Apple's latest operating system upgrade, which was intended to improve the battery situation. 

"We began our tests several weeks ago, but repeated the battery tests using macOS Sierra 10.12.2 after it was released. We saw no difference in the results."
