    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.

    ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED (M5606) in-depth review

    The ASUS Vivobook S 16 OLED M5606 strikes the market with a thin and light chassis and a big 16" OLED panel. This can be a mouthwatering combination for some users who need a big-screen laptop for work on the go. Hardware-wise, this device is pretty capable for home or standard office usage. It's offered with Zen 3+, Zen 4 (Hawk Point-HS), or Ryzen AI CPUs. We settled for a machine that has an AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS and a Radeon 660M - more than enough for browsing the Web or playing Dota 2. The low weight comes at a price of limited upgradability and a bit of outdated port selection. On the brigh[...]
