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.

Yes, this is a thin and light 13-inch gadget that also offers a pretty good port selection for its size. We also have reviewed the 14-inch sibling which may look almost the same, but both laptops aren't that similar when the bottom plates are opened. The L13 model is offered just with 15W Intel Meteor Lake CPUs. The 28W variants are reserved for the bigger models. Also, the memory here is soldered while the L14 comes with a pair of SODIMMs. Still, all that sounds norma[...]
