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.

HP EliteBook 1040 G11 in-depth review
The EliteBook 1040 G11 is the non-2-in-1 sibling of the HP Elite x360 1040 G11 that we have already reviewed. We were impressed with the x360's performance and anticipate even greater power from the 1040 G11. In short, it is still the same modern-looking machine that could be ordered with 28W or 15W Intel Meteor Lake CPUs. vPro functionality remains optional as well as the NFC, the WWAN card, and the Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. The fingerprint reader will also cost you an additional amount of money. However, all models include a Webcam that supports facial recognition, which is a welcome inclusion. [...]
