For some users it is supposed to be possible with the current Macbook Pro will result in graphic errors. In addition, errors with the timemachine backup are said to have been fixed - whether this includes the smaller problems with the backup to a FreeNAS Installation which I fixed with macOS "Sierra" 10.12.1 I have. In this case, the backup may be aborted or the backup volume may not be found.

Besides bug fixes, there are also security updates that Apple also lists. Whether the update really fixes all problems with the new Macbook will be seen in the next days.
