1. SSD gain specifically in MS is minimal. all it helps out is boot time really. Tested both in Intel RST cache mode(my build using a PNY XLR8 ssd) as well as a system built entirely on a SSD(Samsung 840). Actual gameplay loadtime is barely affected.
2. Be sure that the CPU at any point is not throttling due to temperature. If it throtles, CPUs WILL downclock themselves to decrease temperatures thus decreasing performance sporadically.
3. Some features of the game just simply lag. (e.g OX quiz. doesn't matter if computer is top of the line, you still will have some lag going in)
4. Accept that MS is a terribly codded game full of bugs
5. If your getting a new laptop, if you are going purely IGPU, get an A10 Steamroller based APU(A10-7400P or A10-7300). The GCN based gpu will have better driver support(as VLIW; amd's older architecture, is gone) as well as being more recent slightly closes the gap between it and intel processors, else if the laptop has a dGPU, an intel U chip(low power consumption) + nvidia mobile dGPU will serve you better if the price is right.
