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.

However, we were more surprised to see the CPUs of choice. You see, Intel has brought incredibly powerful 28W processors with its Alder Lake architecture. However, Lenovo was having none of that, as it chose the almighty Core i5-12500H and Core i7-12700H. This means that Lenovo surely has to do some kind of wizardry on the cooling front. But of course, this machine is not made for gaming. Its NVIDIA Studio drivers are a good testimonial for that. So, who is it meant[...]

Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

Lenovo's competitor to the MacBook is really solid. And it has one advantage - you can upgrade its storage. Check out all Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro X (14") prices and configurations in our Specs System, or read more in our In-Depth review. 1. Remove the bottom plate There are only 5 Torx-head screws keeping this laptop's bottom panel in place. We were surprised that there are no hidden ones. After you undo them, pry the panel with a plastic tool, starting from the hinge gaps. 2. Battery Inside, we find a 70Wh battery pack. It lasts for 9 hours of Web browsing, or 7 hours of vi[...]
