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.

Dell Vostro 14 5490 in-depth review

Maybe you remember the Vostro 5590? We tried it out recently, and it was a heck of a deal! Great looks, good performance, and versatility - both at a good price. Well, nowhere is its smaller brother. Since we've tested the big one with only the integrated graphics card, now we've decided to max out the Vostro 5490 in terms of computational and graphics performance.Currently, the max out configuration includes the Core i7-10510U in a combination with the GeForce MX250 (25W). All of this is hidden inside of a chassis that resembles the more premium XPS (and previously Precision) brands of D[...]

Pros

  • Minimal stylish looks
  • Nice performance/efficiency ratio + 25W GeForce MX250
  • Good battery life
  • Supports PCIe x4 SSDs
  • Good contrast ratio and comfortable viewing angles
  • Doesn't use aggressive PWM to adjust its brightness
  • Wide upgradability options

Cons

  • We got some driver issues with the touchpad
  • Lacks Thunderbolt connection
  • Covers only 54% of sRGB
  • Gets warm on the outside while under pressure
