    I just got my K43jV from NewEgg this week and I noticed that my WEI score seemed pretty low at 4.2.

    Here's my stats:

    Processor: 6.7
    Memory (RAM): 5.9
    Graphics: 4.2
    Gaming graphics: 6.5
    Primary hard disk: 5.9

    So the "Graphics" (desktop performance for Windows Aero) score is killing my overall.

    I'm guessing it's picking up the integrated Intel HD graphics instead of the 335m... but maybe it's something else. Regardless, the score should be higher.

    Anyone know of a way to fix this?

    Don't bother looking at the windows experience score. It's (almost) entirely useless and meaningless. As long as your 335m engages during games and when you want it to, you're fine. Make sure you're graphics drivers are updated.

    I'm curious about your impression of this laptop. Hows the build quality, headphone sound, keyboard, screen?
    Thanks.

    Yes, very interested in your impressions on this model OP. Overall build quality, screen quality and a 3dmark06 score at standard and at native resolution would be great.
