Poor battery life with new 15inch 2017

Hi, so I have a new macbook pro 2017 and battery lasts only 2-3 hours.

I have this macbook for four days so I guess everything should be settled, updated etc. but battery life is terrible.

In activity monitor I don't see any significant "battery eater" .. should I wait few more days or should I contant apple support? Thanks.

How long does your macbook last when you have few pdfs open and typing in pages ?

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS High Sierra (10.13.3)

Make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar for service. If you need to find an Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple. You can get it replaced or your money refunded by returning it anytime during the first 14 days after purchase. No questions asked. You need to bring all packaging and return the computer to its original factory state.

Yes, you still have Apple's one-year warranty. You can take it back to the retailer from whom it was purchased. If the retailer is an authorized Apple reseller then your warranty will always be honored during the one-year period by Apple.
