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.

Some of the Asus laptops with HX Ryzen 7000 and it’s 15W 610M iGPU, only support external monitor when dedicated Nvidia GPU is enabled. This is major flaw when you are on the go and run laptop on battery as HX CPU can’t even go below 8W. I assume running dedicated GPU for external monitor is gonna be 1.5 hour battery life and you can’t use it to give presentation in meeting or conference.

I’ve done hundreds of presentations and never needed or used a gaming laptop. Nor have I been in a situation where there was not a power outlet nearby.

You should really edit this review and change all “Pro 5” with “Pro 5i” since what you reviewed was the Intel version…

Anyway, thanks for the review and I’ll wait for the comparison between the Pro 5i (Gen 8, Intel) and the Pro 5 (Gen 8 AMD), in the regards of the CPU.

The USB-C in the back can be used to charge the laptop? I mean, not for heavy 3D workload, but when used as standard laptop to work with mail and internet?
