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 TravelMate P2 (TMP215-52 / TPM215-52G) in-depth review

Today's hero - the TravelMate P2 (TMP215-52) is one of these particular notebooks.Essentially, the main story here is to see where has Acer cut corners, and how big of an impact does it make. When it comes to the hardware in use, we have Comet Lake CPUs, maxing out with the Core i7-10510U, and a dedicated GPU option, represented by the GeForce MX230 - not too shabby. And while this device is still[...]

Pros

  • Decent upgradability with PCIe x4 drive support
  • Keyboard has backlight
  • Wide viewing angles and good contrast ratio
  • Optional fingerprint reader
  • Very I/O options and USB Type-C port with DisplayPort and Power Delivery capabilities

Cons

  • Covers only 50% of sRGB
  • Uses harmful PWM for all brightness levels, except the maximum (our Health-Guard profile fixes the issue)
  • Keyboard is uncomfortable for typing
  • Our unit had severe performance issues, resulting in 20-30% CPU usage and 0.6-1.00 GHz clock speeds
