Hi all,
So I purchased my new MacBook Pro a couple of months back and all was working fine till this week when its battery capacity dropped by two notches from 100 to 98 %. Now considering it's been barely two months since I purchased it and has been just 16 cycles, I am concerned. Can someone help me as I'm new to apple and Mac ecosystem.
I do need to mention that I downloaded chrome browser in the same week when the two percent drop happened. I have uninstalled it today only, could that be a reason ?

No downloading software does not effect your battery.
This seems normal.
As well as the report is "Condition Normal."
You do not have to micro-manage your battery or battery charging—forget about. Just use your mac as you see fit.
Rule of thumb—if you are near the mains leave it plugged in, if you need the portability run on battery only.

—you still have an expected 1000 cycle count

If it drops to 80% or below take it in under warranty.
