Here is an extract from MSLT. It is quite common these days for people to have a desktop as well as a notebook at home. So, it will be unfair to buy multiple licenses of MS office in order to use it on both the PCs. That must be the reason behind this not so well publicized licensing.

Glass is the new metal The G series’ journey when it comes to design has been a combination of various roads. It started with plastic, then moved to metal and now it is walking down the glass lane. Right out of the box, the Moto G6 looks super elegant and seems cut from a cloth similar to the gorgeous Moto X4 (check our first cut here).

The secondary lens is a wide-angle shooter with a resolution of 8MP, and the third camera is just a depth sensor for portrait shots. It would have been nice to see a telephoto lens instead....

Xiaomi Mi4i has been a pretty good device at its price range and was marred with only one major shortcoming, that being the 16GB onboard memory sans an external memory card slot. The 32GB variant will be a good option for people who steered away from Mi4i just because of the memory constraints. The company is also tossing in a few deals like free Mi coupon worth Rs 500 on every purchase of Mi4i 16GB and continued discounts on Xiaomi Redmi 2....

Verily it is the season of devices which deliver dollops of superb performance at relatively low prices. We have already seen the Moto G and the Lumia 630 do just that, pretty much redefining what we can expect from a sub USD 200-225 device.
