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 16 (A16-51GM) in-depth review
In 2024, the market is literally flooded with budget machines which is a good thing for end users who need inexpensive daily drivers. The Acer Aspire 16 (A16-51GM) doesn't cost an arm and a leg but this fella is also an entry-level gaming device thanks to the 40W RTX 2050 under the bonnet. The notebook may be not so costly but it's future-proof because of the SODIMM and the pair of M.2 slots. The port selection is also adequate for the class. You can also choose from two 15W Intel Raptor Lake-U Refresh processors. They aren't too thirsty and offer enough power to not bottleneck the modest grap[...]
