Benchmarks

Windows Experience Index Scores

Intel HD graphics card score changed from 5.2 to 5.3 on updating the graphics drivers. AMD radeon showed an increase from 6.5 to 6.8 on updating to the latest drivers from AMD. As you can see in both benchmarks, the RAM gets a very high score. The gaming graphics score is not bad too. The real bottleneck is the hard disk which you must swap for an SSD if you are to get the real performance benefits.

Passmark Performance Test

During actual testing, both tests showed that Intel HD 4000 was being used though I have no idea if the GPU switched automatically. Memory scores are high, consistent with Windows index. Disk scores are good when compared to other hard disk drive but poor when compared to SSD's. The CPU mark is not bad either when you consider the fact that all base system's used for comparison were relatively high end systems.

Base system configurations used in comparison in the above chart are as follows. Note that most of them are powerful desktops.
