    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.

    Dell Vostro 16 5640 in-depth review

    The Dell Vostro 5640 looks like a typical daily driver or a standard office machine. It's powered by Raptor Lake-U / Refresh CPU options which are based on the Alder Lake architecture. The port selection is decent while the upgradability is above the average. Since that's a 16-incher, there is enough space on the main body for a full-sized keyboard with a NumPad.When it comes to security, everything looks good thanks to the Lock slot, the dTPM 2.0 chip, the privacy shutter, and the optional fingerprint reader. Given the price tag of this device, we aren't surprised that Wi-Fi 7 isn't on bo[...]
