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 Spin 3 (SP314-54N) in-depth review

Acer seemed to have fallen back on convertible laptops for a while. However, after their pretty successful Spin 5 update, we were looking forward to the alleged Spin 3. And now we have it in our office. Indeed, it is a sleek device, which is very reminiscent of the older Spin 5 (SP513-52) unit.Albeit it looks similar, it uses Ice Lake processors, which are now a bit dated, but still rather capable. Additionally, the laptop sports premium materials, a 1080p IPS panel, and a stylus that docks inside of the chassis. It's worth noting that the screen and the Pen communicated via Wacom drivers[...]

Pros

  • Thunderbolt 3 and MicroSD card reader on board
  • Included stylus
  • Decent battery life
  • Its Full HD IPS panel has comfortable viewing angles and a good contrast ratio (BOE NV140FHM-N48)
  • Good aluminum build
  • 2x M.2 NVMe slots

Cons

  • Memory is soldered to the motherboard
  • Covers only 51% of sRGB (BOE NV140FHM-N48)
  • Uses aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment (our Health-Guard profile fixes that) (BOE NV140FHM-N48)
