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.

It's not as thin as a premium office machine but this laptop is compact for such a powerhouse. Speaking of which, you can choose from four Meteor Lake CPUs and five NVIDIA RTX Ada Generation GPUs. The maxed-out configurations rely on a 45W Core Ultra 9 185H and a 16GB RTX 5000 Ada Generation at the price of an arm and a leg. The memory is soldered - yep, SODIMMs take more space. Still, the storage upgradabili[...]
