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 (15IRU9) in-depth review
Nowadays, even some entry-level laptops for normal home or office work are pretty capable, if you order them with a decent amount of memory and an SSD. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Gen 9 (15″, Intel) is a modest device at a fair price that can be found with 15W Intel Raptor Lake-U Refresh CPUs based on the Alder Lake architecture. In this class, every penny counts and that's why the base machines are offered with 8GB of soldered RAM in single-channel mode plus UFS 3.1 storage. If you want your laptop to be more snappy, you can pick one with 16GB soldered memory that works in dual-channel mode [...]

- Type-C port with PowerDelivery 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 + SD card reader
- The CPU can maintain high clocks in longer stress (~2.34 GHz for the P cores)

- Optional fingerprint reader
- Good comfort under full system load
- Long battery life given the modest capacity of 47Wh
