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 B1 (B118) in-depth review

To be honest, the TravelMate B118 won't catch your eye from the first sight. It is clunky, plasticky and has a rubber all around it. In fact, it looks more like a toy, than as professional hardware. However, don't let your eyes fool you. Acer state that this notebook has passed is MIL-STD 810G compliant.What is more impressive is the numbers - a spill-resistant keyboard, which can protect against up to 330 ml of water, a rubber bumper, which should protect against 122cm drops, as well as a wide working range in terms of temperature - from -32C to +49C.Okay, but who is in the most need[...]

Pros

  • Decent price tag
  • Great keyboard
  • SD card slot and Ethernet connection in a very well populated I/O
  • Very good battery life
  • Doesn't use harmful PWM for brightness adjustment
  • Very rigid body with a rubber "bumper" and spill-resistant keyboard

Cons

  • Dated design
  • Covers only 51% of sRGB
  • Poor viewing angles and contrast ratio
  • Lacks a USB Type-C port
