    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 IdeaPad Slim 5 (16AHP9) in-depth review

    The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (16″ AMD) is the bigger version of the IdeaPad Slim 5 Gen 9 (14″ AMD). Both devices are pretty similar and of course, the main differences are the display options, the keyboard, and the cooling. By the way, the laptop that we are about to show you today is also known as IdeaPad Slim 5 16AHP9. Just like the smaller sibling, the 16-incher relies on 45W AMD Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS processors and AMD 760M or 780M for graphics. Again, the RAM is soldered and you get a lot of USB ports.This Lenovo machine is offered with four display models - three 60Hz 1200p IPS units [...]
