Is there anywhere that I can download a cyanogen mod rom? Their website seems to be down, and there seems to be no repositories. Is there anywhere else I can download cm 12.1 for my electrify m?

i7 is useful in productivity, but it does not bottleneck the gpu not having the i7 hyperthreading. You wouldn't notice a difference side by side. The lenovo might be slower because it is running more bloatware though.

I find Asus has better build quality, and they don't have issues with their batteries like Lenovo. Also the i7 is more powerful than the i5. "With up to 4 threads under load, the Core i5-6300HQ performs roughly on par with the Core i7-4712HQ (Haswell). However, the Core i7 benefit from...

You can not upgrade integrated graphics to something much better. They are on the cpu. You would have to upgrade the cpu and you can only go form HD 520 graphics to HD 550. The cpus with the 550 are more power hungry, and the system could not handle it. HD 520...

For most games you will be gpu bound. Here is comparison of the fps with a 965m and a 960m. I see a 12 fps difference on doom on ultra. I would spend 50 more euros. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-965M.134120.0.html...

I have friends who work at bestbuy. I have asked them which laptops are returned broken the most. Hp and Dell are the two largest rejects. Lenovo is returned less, but it is their batteries that die (don't hold a charge). I have not found that great reviews of Acer. You could go with a clevo...

It only has a 965m. 8gb of ddr4 can cost as little as $45. I have nothing against MSI, it's just they are not always the best value new. i advised my sister to buy a used MSI. She loves it and it is overkill power for under $800. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820242125

I would not get the competitor HP,Aleinware (a Dell upgraded), acer, lenovo ,or Toshiba. I would recommend clevo based systems like this eurocom. If you get a Razer laptop, then you can use an external gpu, but they are expensive. http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure%282,350,0%29ec
