In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

Office Work

Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

Design and Gaming

This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.

Acer Swift 5 (SF514-51) in-depth review

Remember the Acer Aspire S 13? Well, the Acer Swift 5 is basically the same notebook that costs a little bit more but also offers more in return. Or in other words, a good upgrade over the Aspire S 13. We have the new generation Core i7-7500U rocking under the hood, good choice of materials, robust construction, extremely portable and also accommodates a 14-inch screen in a 13-inch form factor thanks to the super thin bezels.Back at IFA 2016, the Swift 5 was outshined by the Acer Swift 7 but in our opinion, if the luxurious design isn't your top priority, the Swift 5 will be a much bet[...]

Pros

  • Good build quality
  • Nice touchpad
  • Fairly portable for a 14-inch device
  • Efficient cooling solution
  • Superb battery life
  • Excellent IPS screen
  • No PWM across all brightness levels

Cons

  • Mushy and shallow keyboard
  • Our unit shipped with an M.2 SATA SSD instead of PCIe NVMe drive
  • There are more powerful alternatives on the market
