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.

The Legion Pro machines always offer something extra compared to their non-Pro siblings. We already have a review of the Lenovo Legion 5i (16", Gen 9) which is a great gaming laptop that surprises us with its snappy performance. Now, it's time to test the Lenovo Legion Pro 5i (16", Gen 9) which isn't that different compared to the standard Legion 5i but the more expensive device has some useful tricks up in its sleeve.Here, you get only 14th Gen Intel Raptor Lake-HX Refresh CPU options which bring higher clocks and (some of them have) more cores compared to their 13th Gen counterparts.
