Mine is 4.6, and for my notebook's specs, that sucks.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M480 @2.67GHz = 6.9
Memory: 6.0GB (at that time, now 8GB) = 6.9
Graphics: Intel(R) HD Graphics (where I'm screwed) = 4.6
Gaming Graphics: 1696MB Total available = 6.5
Primary Hard Disk: Hitachi 500GB, 5400rpm =5.8 (just one tenth less than my 3 32MB, 7200rpm HDD's)
Base Score: 4.6
Now something is screwed up here. Except for my hard drive, which surprised me, being that it's much slower than my (1) Caviar Black & (2) Samsung HD103SJ desktop HDD's, all 3 being 1TB, 32MB cache & 7200rpm.
Secondly, and more important, the correct GPU isn't listed. I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT425M (1GB DDR3) dedicated video card. Had this spec showed, although my base score would have still been 5.8 due to my HDD, it would have been a lot more than 4.6. This card, although not the very top of the line, is far superior than what ships with many notebooks that costs over $1,000. Many of those doesn't even have a dedicated card, they sport Intel HD or AMD Radeon 4250 (at that time, around April of last year).
This was why I wanted a dedicated card, I was on the folding team at another forum, that card was racking up the numbers (considering it's size) to the tune of 5 to 6 thousand PPD. However, after 3 months of non-stop folding, I noticed at my MB & Video card temps beginning to rise. Then it crashed. I reinstalled the OS (to remove any traces of my folding activity), waited a couple of weeks, and contacted MSI. Being that it was only 4 months old, they emailed me a shipping label at no cost to me, to be inspected.
After a few days, I was contacted by the MSI rep, and was told that they had never seen a card that new in the condition that it was in. They shipped me by 2 day express, a brand new replacement (not a refurb or open box), and threw in the high performance battery instead of the standard that I had. So I came out ahead.
But a lesson learned, one cannot expect a notebook computer to run 24/7 for months on end. However, it plays videos beautifully with the installed card, and for the money I paid ($750 + $79 for the Anytime Upgrade to Pro), I came out good.
As far as the WEI goes, I feel that it's BS. Why would the test not use the best of the 2 video sources?
