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.

Acer Aspire 5 (A515-54 / A515-54G) in-depth review

Acer's Aspire 5 series is bringing some sort of premium looks and feel to the lives of ordinary people, that don't want to spend a great deal of their budget for a laptop. In fact, it is not marketed as a business laptop, and by no means, the A515-54G is not a gaming device. However, the versions with "G" after the model number feature a graphics card - in our case the GeForce MX250.While it is totally up to you, to get the graphically enhanced model, we can't miss saying that the Aspire 5 (A515-54G), is one of the cheapest IPS-equipped laptops that actually feature a decent graphics card[...]

Pros

  • Good battery life
  • GeForce MX250 and an IPS display at a great price
  • Its display doesn't use PWM to adjust its brightness (AUO B156HAN02.1)
  • Thin and light chassis

Cons

  • Plasticky body
  • Uneven tactile feedback and short key travel from the keyboard
  • Covers only 54% of sRGB (AUO B156HAN02.1)
