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.

Dell Precision 14 5490 in-depth review
Year by year, the compact workstations are getting more powerful. That's the case with the Dell Precision 5490 which is treated with 28W Intel Meteor Lake-H CPUs and NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation graphics cards. That sounds pretty punchy for a 14-incher. Of course, given the size of this thing, there are some compromises here and there compared to the big heavy-duty iterations meant for 24/7 workloads.The memory is soldered and the storage options are as limited as it gets. Still, at least you can order the device with plenty of RAM and the port selection is one of the most up-to-date ones tha[...]
