    Lenovo ThinkPad L390 in-depth review

    With the narrowing difference between Lenovo's different ThinkPad series, it is getting ever so hard to find the point of certain laptops. This is one of them - the ThinkPad L390. From the first sight it looks...guess how - exactly! Like any other ThinkPad. This one is probably one of the most old-school ones of the bunch since the E and the T Series are set for a more modern design.Don't get us wrong, our rattle is not to dishonor the good hardware, decent display options (one of which a touchscreen), and the good connectivity of the laptop. It is just too similar to the ThinkPad E-series, while the price is getting closer to the ThinkPad T-series.You can check the prices and configurations in our Specs System: https://laptopmedia.com/series/lenovo-thinkpad-l390/Specs S[...]

    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.
