mem - 5.9
GPU - 4.4
Gaming Graphics - 6.1

I haven't ran this in awhile on my system, but you are correct...this isn't the way to measure performance. Ignoring the 'Windows Experience' score is your best bet.

Having said that, you can always update your drivers and such.

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I would imagine that the conditions which a laptop runs can vary significantly enough to effect how windows scores your computer. Did you have the power settings for your laptop at high performance and the computer plugged into a wall?

Also, that's around a ~2% drop. In the scientific world we would consider that negligible anyway

I've always wanted to say this. Contrary to what everyone is saying, and that is WEI can be completely ignored, I find it provides me with a good gauge as to how my hardware is doing. Say, for example, when my HDD (actually SSD) score drops from 7.9 to 7.7 I know the SSD needs attending to. Maybe I didn't install a driver properly or maybe the SSD needs to be secure erased. Once I have taken the appropriate measures the score will normally go back to 7.9 and I know everything is alright.

That's just me though.
