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.

Generally, the device remains pretty much unchanged on the outside, but we are glad to see that Lenovo still kept the Web camera - a feature abolished by ASUS and the majority of their ROG notebooks. Before we start there are a couple of points[...]

Remove the bottom plate This laptop's bottom panel is held in place by 10 Phillips-head screws. After you undo them, you need to pry the panel with a plastic tool and remove it from the chassis. 2. Battery This model comes with either a 60 or an 80Wh battery pack. We got the former one. 3. Мemory and [...]
