X201 tablet with slow Windows Experience Index

[positive]

Good values on all but Windows Aero (3.2)

Any thoughts on increasing this value? Does it matter?

Thanks

No it doesn't matter. Only way to increase graphics capability is get a better GPU. Only good thing I use WEI for is to help a SSD.

My Windows Experience Index went from 3.3 to 6.4 when I moved from an i7 X201T to an i7 X230T. The X201T has 8 gb ram, a 7200 rpm 750gb "hybrid" drive. The X230T has an i7 processor, 16 gb ram and a 500gb SSD drive.

From a "practical" point of view, Microsoft Flight beta runs poorly on the X201T and runs great on the X230T.

I attribute the improvement to a better built in Intel GUI on the newer model.

If you have only a single memory module, changing to dual modules to allow dual-channel operation can increase the graphics score with Intel GPUs.
It can also vary with different driver versions.
Whether any of this is noticeable in practice is another matter.
