    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 Aspire 5 (A515-58M / A515-58P) in-depth review

    In 2023, you can find a lot of affordable devices with Intel Raptor Lake U CPUs. The Acer Aspire 5 (A515-58M) can be configured with these Intel chips and on top of that, the price of the notebook isn't hefty. This Acer machine offers a good amount of extras for the class.You can choose between three 15.6" 16:9 display options - two of them are 1080p variants - one IPS and one TN. Avoid the latter unless your budget is super tight. The top panel model is a 1440p display which isn't something ordinary for this kind of price tag. That's why we bought a laptop with the exact same display mode[...]

    Pros

    • Great battery life
    • Surprisingly good cooling solution and performance
    • Optional 1440p IPS panel with 90% sRGB coverage and high color accuracy when Gaming and Web design profile is installed (BOE NE156QHM-N61 (BOE0AFE))
    • Comfortable viewing angles (BOE NE156QHM-N61 (BOE0AFE))
    • No PWM (BOE NE156QHM-N61 (BOE0AFE))
    • Light chassis with a metal lid
    • Decent I/O with Thunderbolt 4 port and optional fingerprint reader

    Cons

    • Soldered memory and just one M.2 slot
    • The lid can't be opened with a single hand
