    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.

    Lenovo ThinkBook 13x Gen 4 in-depth review

    The positive evolution of ultra-portable devices is undeniable. Now, you can get a 1-kilo machine like the Thinkbook 13x Gen 4 with the mighty Core Ultra 9 185H under the bonnet. Despite the compact dimensions, Lenovo has found a way to fit a big 74Wh battery. This, combined with the optional Intel Evo certification is a receipt for long autonomous life. It's not a surprise that the upgradability is limited because of the thin profile.Interestingly, if you pop the bottom plate (which makes almost zero sense since only the SSD is replaceable) you'll find a pretty sizable thermal system, whi[...]
