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.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (15" AMD, Gen 8) in-depth review
You don't need an AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D or Intel Core i9-14900HX for just browsing the Web or checking your email. In this case, a non-power-hungry CPU is a much better choice. If you need a laptop for casual daily or office usage, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (15″, Gen 8) is one of the possible solutions. It doesn't cost a fortune and it comes with an AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU under the hood. Actually, you can choose between three refreshed Zen 3 Barcelo-U chips. We have tested a lot of laptops with these processors and right off the bat we can say that their efficiency is very good by default.Eve[...]
