It's pretty performant but once you start to really multitask, you can tell you're running with limited resources. If you aren't a heavy multitasker, performance is great! The one place it really exceeds the desktop is answering calls and responding to text, puts Google Voice and Skype to shame.

Interesting, thanks for the feedback. I'm somewhat tempted to try it, maybe not at RRP though. Although I get the feeling it will end up in the pile with the Occulus Rift and all the other gimmicky stuff I've accumulated...

  My Rift sat around for better part of a year collecting dust, just added room scale to it the other day and it's taken on a new life. If you haven't played with room scale I would recommend giving it a go. It's amazing when you can be completely immersed and not have to worry about bumping into, or tripping into things. Just finished the Rick and Morty and am playing a "shoot the robots" that are trying to kill you game, very intense, a good workout.

Interesting…have you tried the features in Windows and macOS which allow you to pick up phone calls/texts with your computer? If so, how does it compare?

  Windows user, so I can only speak to the Windows 10, and Android phone integration. The integration is cool, but very limited, you can see new notifications, text, email, etc.. and you can respond but you can't do anything else, like view a whole conversation. Tried answering calls but there is no noise cancellation, so you need a headset or callers can hear themselves talking. It's almost like they have to scrape data by reading notifications, and relaying that, and can't directly interact with the mobile OS on a deeper level. Ultimately not super useful for me, hope Android Oreo provides more opportunities for greater integration.
