Speaking of which, the configurations with the top 12-core X Elite CPU model are tied to the OLED display and the more modest 10-core X Plus-based machines are available only with an IPS panel. Still, both screens come with 2880 x 1920 resolution, a 3:2 aspect ratio (which is great for work), and a 120Hz refresh rate. Of course, the OLED panel has the upper hand when it comes to contact ratio. The 1TB storage configuration is available for the Wi-Fi-only iteration of Surface Pro 11.Expectedly, the RAM is soldered but it's not a huge deal since you can order this machine with up to 64GB LPDDR5x-8448MHz.

    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.
