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 Pavilion Plus 16 (16t-ab0000, ab1000) in-depth review

What about a laptop that looks like an office machine but can be used as an entry-level gaming device or even for content creation? The HP Pavilion Plus 16 (ab0000) falls right into this category. In addition, this is a powerful but thin notebook with a 45W Intel Raptor Lake CPU under the bonnet. Moreover, you can configure the gadget with an optional GeForce RTX 3050 with a 6GB VRAM buffer.There aren't too many display options for the series, actually, you're stuck with just one screen model. That's fine because we are talking about a 120Hz 16:10 1600p IPS panel. This one supports a Varia[...]
