Win8 Expected Functional Smart Windows Experience Index

Buying a computer is a tough job, especially for non-hardware enthusiasts. When faced with various brand machines, assembly machines, and notebooks, it is inevitable that they will be dizzy. More products are not counted, you have to face different models of the same kind of products, in order to market segments, the same generation of product manufacturers will launch a variety of high-end and low-end versions to meet market needs, but invisibly increase the difficulty of user choice. So, is there a simple and quick way to judge the level of performance of a computer? The answer is: Yes!

Since Windows Vista, Microsoft has launched a hardware evaluation function called “Windows Experience Index (also called Windows Experience Index)”, which will be the main hardware of the current computer: The CPU, memory, graphics, and hard disk are evaluated once, and the evaluation results are displayed numerically. Finally, the lowest score of all the scores based on the wooden barrel principle is selected as the basic score of the computer.

Through this experience index /indices, we can easily compare the computer, and then choose which one is more suitable for the use according to their needs. For example, if you like to play games, then you should choose a higher score for the game graphics, and like the computer in the above picture, it will be better for office. On the other hand, you can also find performance boards based on the sub-scores to selectively upgrade the hardware.

However, like many other Windows features, the Windows Experience Index does not do much, except when you replace the hardware, it will re-evaluate the score, which is to show off the new score with others. With the computer performance.

So, we hope that the Windows 8 experience index feature can be more powerful:

Windows Experience Index networking.

Your computer experience index is high, but how do you show it to others? Light is definitely not acceptable, you have to prove it to others. But Windows itself does not have the ability to share scores on the network. You can only take screenshots and upload them yourself. It can be easily described as PS or not your own computer. In short, it is not convincing. Therefore, the Windows Experience Index should also be added to the cloud computing family.

This way, Windows 8 users can easily display their Windows experience index on various social networks.

Guide users to upgrade/purchase new accessories

This is the key to making the Windows Experience Index intelligent. It is not enough to give you a score, but you can also give it according to the current score. Upgrade directions and recommendations.

Microsoft has already tried this aspect, specifically introducing a guiding page: Windows PC Scout. This service allows users to gradually understand and purchase the most suitable computer, but unfortunately does not support Chinese. In the future, Microsoft can fully develop, combine the experience index function in Windows 8 with this service, or launch a more powerful similar service.

In addition, this Windows Experience Index can also be used as a reference for Windows 8 computers. When users view the detailed parameters of this computer, if the experience index is listed together, then for the user, the choice will be More intuitive, no need to effort to compare the performance parameters of the specific configuration, as long as the difference between the respective experience index can choose the most suitable computer.

Provide more hardware evaluation capabilities

The current Windows Experience Index can only evaluate CPU, memory, graphics card and hard disk. It should be able to support more in the future. peripheral equipment.

For example, when buying a notebook or a more portable tablet, battery quality is also an important reference standard. Can battery performance be added to the Windows Experience Index project?

In addition to hardware, is it possible for software performance to participate in the evaluation? If some software can drastically drag the system, a reminder is sent in real time, allowing the user to try to replace or upgrade the software to improve operational efficiency.
