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 Extensa 15 (EX215-33) in-depth review
Acer claims that the Acer Extensa 15 (EX215-33) is meant for small businesses and everyday users. This is valid only if you pick a machine with the optional 1080p IPS panel. We bought a gadget with a TN panel and yes, this one is awful. Since the memory is soldered, choosing a notebook with 16GB LPDDR5 seems like the way to go. Our device has just 8GB RAM. While it's still okay for basic work, you'll be in trouble if you want to open more than ten Chrome tabs at once.Three Alder Lake-based processors are available. Our recommendation is to get the 15W 8-core Intel Core i3-N305 unless your [...]
