    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.

    Acer Aspire 15 (A15-41M) in-depth review

    According to the manufacturer, the Aspire 15 (A15-41M) is meant "to manage a wide range of tasks with ease". That's true only if you pick a laptop with a more powerful processor than the base one which is the 4-core Ryzen 3 7335U (Zen 3+ Rembrandt-U Refresh). Since this machine is also offered with Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS chips, we decided to buy a notebook with the top CPU for this Acer series which is the 8-core 28W Ryzen 7 8840HS. This one will put to a serious test the modest cooling system that has just one fan.Part of the memory is soldered but on the bright side, you get a SODIMM for me[...]

    Pros

    • Long battery life considering the modest 53Wh capacity - 8 hours and a half of video playback
    • Decent keyboard and touchpad
    • Well priced
    • Decently solid build
    • Metal lid with a lever design
    • Light for a 15-incher (1.65 kg)
    • PWM-free (CMN1561)
    • Wide viewing angles (CMN1561)
    • Decent port selection for the class with a USB4 and an HDMI 2.1
    • Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth 5.3
    • The fan isn't noisy during full loads
    • The Ryzen 7 8840HS can maintain ~3.40 GHz clock in long CPU loads
    • Decently fast NVMe (512GB SK Hynix HFS512GEJ9X110N)
    • SODIMM slot for memory in dual-channel mode
    • 1080p@60FPS Web camera

    Cons

    • Part of the RAM is soldered + just one M.2 slot
    • Low sRGB coverage (CMN1561)
