Without knowing the model of notebook and for that matter the GPU of the notebook it will be hard to say. If I had to hazard a guess I would think that your notebook has Nvidia Optimus. This is a technology that the notebook will switch between integrated graphics to discreet graphics depending on power usage. It does this to save battery power. Certainly if the notebook was running on AC power and Optimus was set to maximum performance, then the ac adapter was disconnected the discreet Nvidia GPU would be switched to the integrated Intel HD and that would certainly explain the difference in the Windows Experience Index.
For more on Nvidia Optimus I posted a sticky in the following link.

If you aren't sure that your notebook shiped with Optimus please reply back with the model of the system.
