It still features the plasticky, yet surprisingly good looking design.IN terms of display, however, you shouldn't expect anything more than a TN panel with a Full HD resolution. Additionally, you get entry-level processors to choose from. They top out with the Pentium Silver N5000. Yes... this is how low-budget this notebook is.

Remove the bottom plate After you unscrew all 11 Phillips-head screws and pop the panel open with a plastic pry tool. Beware, of the low-quality building material used all over the place.2. Battery While the battery pack is a 37Wh unit, we expect it to perform decently well with its 6W processor inside. Shoul[...]

    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.
