    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.

    Design and Office

    The Design and Office profile makes display colors as close to real as possible.
    Ideal not only for professionals but also for everyday users, it meets sRGB standards (D65 white point, sRGB gamma) with minimal DeltaE for precise color reproduction on your panel.

    Gaming and Movies

    Have you ever watched a movie where, during dark scenes, you can barely see anything? Many displays fail to distinguish dark tones properly. Our Gaming and Movies profile enhances low-light performance, like HDR tech, using a gamma curve tailored to human perception — ideal for gamers seeking faster reactions and clearer visuals.

    Health-Guard

    Our Health-Guard profile protects your eyes by eliminating PWM flickering, reducing strain and fatigue, and minimizing harmful Blue light exposure that can disrupt sleep and health. It uses software dimming and a gamma curve tailored to human perception for comfort and safety during screen use.

    HP 15 (15-fc0000, fd0000, hr0000) in-depth review

    It's clear like night and day that you don't need a high-end or even a mid-range laptop for normal light tasks. A modest 15W CPU is more than enough if it's accompanied by 16GB of RAM and a decent SSD. The HP 15 (15-fc0000) is an inexpensive device that will do the job for people who want to get a notebook on a budget for browsing the Web and and playing light games from time to time. However, you have to pay attention to the specs before buying because the machines with Zen 2 CPUs are tied with up to 16GB of soldered RAM while the ones with Zen 3 chips rely on a pair of SODIMMs which makes th[...]

    • Decent input devices

    • Lid with a lever design
    • Optional fingerprint reader and a 1080p Web camera

    • Just 1x M.2 slot
