    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 5 (A517-58M) in-depth review

    Not everyone needs a small and compact device for daily tasks or office work. Some people prefer to use big-screen notebooks with full-sized keyboards alongside a NumPad section. Even if your budget is tight, you can still find adequate devices in this category like the Acer Aspire 5 (A517-58M). This one offers 15W Raptor Lake-U series CPU options which are battery-friendly chips that don't dissipate a lot of heat. You can opt for a GeForce RTX 2050 if the iGPU inside of the processor isn't enough for your needs.There is just one display model but that's fine given the price class. Moreove[...]
