Okay so I have done a lot of research into VR before buying any headset. I considered the rift and vive initially but there sensors are not portable and the setup time is longer than Windows Mixed Reality.
Mixed Reality is a term used by Microsoft to describe their new line of multiple products that do different things. These headsets that launched in mid october from all the OEMS are for VR strictly. Hololens apps are made on the same platform and ideally will work with these products but they are not capable of a passthrough camera experience like the hololens. That will have to wait for a future product to be achieved. What these are good at doing is provided a room scale vr experience without needing sensors across your room. I find this infinitely valuable. I can take my laptop and the headset almost anywhere and setup a VR demo for myself and friends. The resolution is much better than the vive or rift. The controllers feature both a touchpad and a joystick which allows many control options in game. You can run SteamVR and play games that are designed for a HTC vive. With revive you can run games purchased from the oculus store as well. I have been playing robo recall flawlessly on my HP MR headset.
Pros:
Resolution
No Seperate sensors
Size and comfortable are acceptable. I have a 7 5/8 head in a ball cap and this is really comfortable on me.
The styling of the headset is better than the acer or dell in my opinion.
Cons:
New software/hardware so there are some bugs. (SteamVR crashes, boundaries resettting, etc) All easy fixes though.
FOV is only 95 or about 100 if you tighten it really tight. (competitors reach 110 though human eye is 180fov so you always will have a bit of black in the fov)
Overall I am more than happy with the Windows MR headsets.

Mixed Reality through Windows is well worth the money. Found some fun games. Make sure you have an area that is 5ft x 7ft to play in. You will need it

For some reason, my headset has an issue with stability, but it also has 1 dead pixel. I will have to exchange it at some point, I just don't have the luxury of living anywhere near a Best Buy to be able to do so. I don't fault HP for my issues, I think I just have a faulty unit. I do still want a replacement, so I want one in the end.
It is comfortable, and it does focus pretty well, even there is no adjustment option. I did demo when before I purchased it, so I knew what I was getting.
