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.

ASUS ROG GL502VS in-depth review

Shortly after the release of the original ASUS ROG GL502 with GTX 970M, which was featured in our full review a few months back, the company has released a refreshed version of the device with much faster GPU on board - the GTX 1070 with 8GB of GDDR5. However, there's one key selling point that's missing from the last generation - the price.While the previous model was one of the most affordable GTX 970M-powered solutions on the market, the GTX 1070 variant isn't exactly "budget-friendly" but still holds up to the competition in terms of pricing. It's also a much more sensible alternat[...]

Pros

  • Refreshing design for a gaming machine
  • Decent overall build
  • Excellent IPS panel with G-Sync support
  • Powerful hardware in a relatively small form factor and size
  • Supports PCIe NVMe SSDs
  • Brings various connectivity options including mini DisplayPort and Thunderbolt 3 via USB Type-C

Cons

  • Noticeable coil whine under load
  • Some units ship witn an M.2 SATA SSD instead of PCIe NVMe drive
  • The screen uses PWM from 0 to 99% screen brightness (Health-Guard profile eliminates that)
  • The touchpad and keyboard aren't convincing enough for a notebook at this price range
  • No integrated graphics and thus lowered battery endurance
  • Somehow crippled GTX 1070 performance
