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.

Today, we are seeing perhaps one of the biggest changes in the Aspire series in years. Not only are we expecting an improved performance, but a significant overhaul of the visuals, including the lifted backside, which more and more manufacturers are fitting their devices with.Nevertheless, the Aspire 5 (A515-56G), comes equipped with Intel's Tiger Lake processors. We are eager to see whether the cooling will be good enough to enable the full 28W TDP, or if Acer has settled for the 15W one, and a quieter machine. Additionally, you are getting a fairly thin and light notebook, that has some[...]
