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.

If you order a laptop with the most punchy GPU option you can rely on up to 321 TOPs for AI tasks. This is a very thin notebook and yes, the memory is soldered. The maximum amount here is 32GB LPDDR5x RAM. If you need 64GB memory, you can get the ASUS ProArt P16 (H7606) which boasts a similar design and dimensions. Speaking of which, the Meteor-Lake-based ROG Zephyrus G16 GU605 is the Team Blue sibling of the GA605. Unfortunately, the top-end GPUs like RTX 4080 and RTX 4090 are r[...]
