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.

Indeed, if you compare it to Lenovo ThinkPad P52, it is definitely smaller, however, we're going to see if it can withstand the power of the 9th Generation Coffee Lake processors.In fact, this is the main difference between the Latitude 5501 and the 5500 - the former uses H-series Intel CPUs, whereas [...]

Pros

  • vPro Coffee Lake processors inside
  • Lightweight carbon fiber body

Cons

  • CPU gets extremely hot under heavy load
  • Covers only 53% of sRGB (LG WJDPN-156WFC (LGD05E6))
  • Battery life is a downgrade from its predecessor
