I recently bought a Huawei (yeah, I know) MateBook X Pro, having used Mac laptops almost exclusively since the iBook G4. My only complaint with the hardware (drivers?) is that two-finger scrolling on the otherwise decent trackpad isn't nearly as smooth as on a MacBook. My biggest problem is actually connecting mail, calendar, and contacts to Google. Whereas it works out of the box on my Macs, I have not been able to get them working in Windows 10. I've fiddled with 2-Step Verification and Allow less secure apps. I can get mail working over IMAP by enabling 2-Step Verification and using an application-specific password, but I've had no luck with calendar or contacts. I presume I would have the same problem with Microsoft hardware.

I recently got a Huawei Matebook X Pro for work and I love the thing. The touch pad scrolling isn't smooth as the Apple one like you mentioned, but the tracking is great otherwise and gestures work well. Keyboard is nice, 3k screen is nice, usb-c + usb-a is nice, sd slot, etc... It's stupid amounts of light and cheap for the amount of power and features. I think they'd be a lot more popular if they advertised better. My only complaints are the camera placement and the the cooling. I like that the screen is so thin and has almost no bezel so I understand why they put the camera in the keyboard, it's just impractical for Skype which is at odds with the amazing call audio quality from the built in mics (yes, multiple, 4 of them). The cooling also leaves a bit to be desired, though http://bradshacks.com/matebook-x-pro-throttling/ http://bradshacks.com/matebook-x-pro-throttling/ has some good info on augmenting that if you feel like doing a little light hacking. I don't think it's any worse than the latest macbooks, I just think it could be better in both cases.

I've got 2fa on, mail and calendar on Windows 10 work flawlessly. It had me run through the standard Google OAuth process for both, didn't need an app specific password. No experience with contacts however, I don't use it. Though, I just turned it on and it automatically offered to import from both my Google and MSFT account (which would seem that the logins are global instead of being app specific).
