So for the i5/8/256GB configuration set, the Surface Laptop and the XPS 13 seem to be equally prices (XPS is a bit more expensive). Also, I don't know what great things people want to do having a 7300U over a 7200U. There's hardly any, if not no, difference.

I hate the grid of icons. There are too many of them showing up at once, and no real way of jumping to the right app. The jump list is something that I really want in Android, if ever there release a launcher with it.

There's something very interesting I noticed. The Grove app on Android, designed to look like a UWA, feels and works better than the Groove UWA. The Groove Android app passed through Astoria would be the perfect Groove, in terms of design, feel, and fluidity. This is just an example. Perhaps...

I got a lovely Spigen for my OnePlus 3. The metal on the back was quite slippery (although it is really great in the hand, I must admit) and now it's alright.

Yes, I can understand that. A section of the labs in my college used to be on Windows 2000 before they recently upgraded all of them, hardware included.

I have office 365 personal. The moment I'm able to earn my own money (I'm in graduate school right now) I'll switch my house over to 365. We already insist on having paid Windows at home. Other software... I don't buy. They're too expensive and usually available in labs.

So they don't even ask why their PC is running pirated Windows 7 rather than original Windows 10?

I used to install an app called clean master to do just that (not that it did work too greatly) while using a budget Ice-cream sandwich device many years ago. Android was so **** then [emoji23] Look at where they are now!

That's the kind of thing I'm not fond of... Many of these UIs would rather clean the RAM of apps rather than optimise usage. But people seem to be in general OK with it.

The problem with such OS layers is that these OEMs take them too seriously and therefore the Android beneath all of these is condemned to rot. Case in point, Honour and Xiaomi. They announce upgrades to MIUI and EMUI periodically as if that's what everyone is looking for. Plus they have to...

Have you tried the usual: remove and re-add? Re-add has worked for me in the past with Google. Also, try turning calendar sync off and on.

Simple. Check at willmyphonework.net

Which account?

I get about 4 hours. It's not much. I don't use the Facebook apps. It's OK I suppose, but this kind of speed in an Android device is quite surprising (along with the store and other things), and it makes me wonder why I even considered a 950 before eventually buying this.

The Android client can't use formatting tools (there's no word engine), and the calendars are read-only unless events are created on that device. Not the prettiest experience for me. However, Google calendar app makes up for the calendar bit. I quite like the Windows 10 app, to be honest, it's...
