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 Vivobook 16 (M1605) in-depth review
The ASUS Vivobook 16 (M1605) is offered with Zen 3 (Refresh) CPUs or Zen 4 chips. The machines with the newer processor platform rely on DDR5 memory, Gen 4 M.2 slot, bigger battery variants (50Wh or 70Wh), and an optional 3.2K OLED display. If you don't need all these features, the Zen 3-based notebooks can be found at a lower price since they have DDR4 memory, Gen 3 SSDs, a smaller 42Wh battery capacity, and you can't opt for the fancy OLED display.The rest is standard for all machines - Wi-Fi 5 / Bluetooth 5.1 or Wi-Fi 6E / Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity, so-so I/O, and limited upgradabi[...]
