    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 3 (A315-510P) in-depth review

    In terms of specs, the Aspire 3 (A315-510P) is almost similar to the bigger Aspire 3 (A317-55P) that we also have reviewed. This means that Alder Lake-N series processors power the 15-incher. We think the 6W 4-core Intel Processor N100 and N200 are too weak even for normal usage. That's why we picked a machine with the 15W Core i3-N305 which has eight E cores. Still not a beast but this chip's performance is snappy enough for daily tasks and even for light gaming. Yes, Dota 2 runs at 71 FPS on average on Low details which isn't a bad result at all given the soldered single-channel RAM.This[...]

    Pros

    • Long battery life considering the small 50Wh battery ~ 8 hours of videos
    • Decent keyboard and touchpad
    • Fair price
    • The build is decently solid
    • Lid with a lever design
