    I'm currently only using integrated graphics cards since two kids = less gaming budget on a new computer. Why do I want the upgrade? To be able to do any gaming beyond Minecraft!

    Sweet looking projector, have been considering an upgrade to my 42" Samsung from, oh, 7 years ago.

    I wanted to get my wife a mechanical keyboard because she's used them previously at work and fell in love with them but found them too expensive for personal use. So I'd like the Excalibur keyboard please!

    I've still got at 4800 rpm drive in my HP laptop that is just *killing* me. Would be nice to load Windows/anything at a reasonable rate.

    G4 if you want the camera, 6P if you want the pure Android experience, Z5 compact if you want a one handed phone. I have the 5X and I love Marshmallow. Just gets out of the way and let's you do what you want to do.

    I want to use it as an HTPC and a box for F1 2015.

    HDR on front facing camera: shots inside always have a shadow on someone.

    Would love a NUC! Thanks!

    I need the best Android camera and the Z2 has it. I'm on the M7 with a custom ROM and all the indoor pictures come out so poorly! Regarding dbrand, following them on Twitter, I love the liveliness and playfulness with which they seem to conduct themselves (just check out dbrand and AMD's Twitter rap battle).

    Depends on who you take it to. AT&T for sure has off contract prices and will give them to you if you are off contract and request it (had a few friends go this route, not sure how much hassle they give you, though). T-mobile is all off contract pricing, so that is another option. I don't believe Sprint offers that option and not sure about Verizon. As far as using Verizon as your service, it might be more difficult since Verizon is primarily a CDMA service and most unlocked phones are GSM (the OnePlus One is for sure). This means that most phones *will not* be compatible with Verizon, unfortunately. I currently swap between a Lumia 925 and an HTC One M7 on AT&T in the NYC area. Since both phones have microSIMs (I think) I can just swap my SIM card back and forth as I need to. Obviously these devices aren't this year's high end phones but the idea is the same. As I mentioned before, my devices are both microSIM but you'll need to watch out for devices with varying SIM card sizes. In this case, you'll need a nanoSIM + adapter, likely. This experience should carry over to T-mobile as well since that service is GSM based. As far as I understand, Verizon and Sprint require you to call or take it to the store to deactivate one and activate the other. If you already have an M8 and you're happy with it, I don't suggest investing in a second phone and swapping back and forth. I do it because I'm mobile tech obsessed and I like the varying experience and features on different platforms. If you feel like you want to dip a toe into it, I'd start with something even more inexpensive (I'm thinking Moto E/G or Lumia 530/635) and see if you enjoy it.

    IF you can hold off on that decision for a short period of time, we should see a new Nexus in 2 or 3 months and I personally would wait for the cutting edge (especially if the Nexus 6 is HTC One M8 or Sony Z2 based). If the decision needs to be made now, both devices are great and the selection comes down to a few factors: 1) Do you prefer stock AOSP or Sense6 (which is actually the best of all the Android skins, IMO, but I still prefer AOSP). This is the biggest of your decisions. 2) Do you want to get into the root/custom ROM scene? The Nexus is far, far better for that (as others have mentioned) 3) Do you need to play music/video w/o headphones and/or speakers frequently? M8's BoomSound is top notch in terms of smartphone speakers and N5 doesn't come anywhere near close enough. IMO, everything else is a near wash, in terms of real world experience. Both phones run apps well and can do anything you need.

    I like the quality audio output. Hate tinny sound.
