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.

ASUS ROG GL702VI in-depth review

The ROG Strix GL702VI may be ASUS' current top-tier gaming notebook with the most powerful GPU on a laptop from NVIDIA but it fails to impress in almost every other aspect while carrying a price tag similar, or even higher in some regions, to its direct competitors - Acer's Predator 17 X and Alienware 17 R4.

Pros

  • Generally sturdy build
  • Ligther than the competition by at least 1 kg
  • Excellent IPS display with great properties like wide sRGB, high contrast, 120Hz refresh rate, G-Sync support, etc.
  • The screen doesn't use PWM for regulating brightness
  • Good cooling performance
  • Keyboard with tactile and clicky feedback (only good for typing, though)

Cons

  • Suboptimal choice of materials, cheap feel
  • Shallow keyboard with no macro keys and unisolated arrow keys (not the best for gaming) and unsatisfactory touchpad
  • Loud cooling fans
  • Only one M.2 SSD slot while the competition comes with two
  • Lacks USB-C Thunderbolt 3
  • Short battery life
