First off, the LG gram really is light, when you have this machine in your hands, just wow!• Camera - remarkable is the first word that popped into my head when I saw the output. For a module so small and on such a thin display, LG has excelled with the quality of the camera, it is crisp and a very natural frame rate. The colours are good and I don’t see signs of heavy processing or poor tuning.• Display - To achieve two goals, I took a photo of the display showing the webcam output. This was to show the quality of the camera and display, however, I struggled because of glare. This display is Matte, but it is also fairly reflective which, when coupled with it not being particularly bright, means that working outside has proven to be a challenge. When indoors, ... MoreFirst off, the LG gram really is light, when you have this machine in your hands, just wow!• Camera - remarkable is the first word that popped into my head when I saw the output.

There are a couple of downsides to this, the laptop itself feels a bit flexible where there is more plastic in its construction, this isn't noticeable in day-to-day use. I also found that the paint on the lid scratched easily as well.I've used this laptop for general productivity tasks as well as web development with containerisation. The i7 processer handled all these tasks with ease and even under heavy use the fan rarely comes on because the laptop handles heat well. I wouldn't recommend this laptop for gaming as it doesn't have a dedicated GPU and one thing to be aware of is the memory is not upgradeable.Battery life is excellent and performing in line with LG's published figures, I like the option to limited charging the battery to 80% to help extend its life. Overall, this is a quality piece of kit, and I would recommend it anyone looking for an ultra-portable laptop with a large screen.

More importantly, what does this all mean for the computing experience?My first test was video processing, which is very computationally intense, especially for the GPU. I created several 4k videos with titles, transitions, and effects to exercise this computer. The rendering was in real-time if not a bit faster. The Nvidia was at nearly 100% rendering the output, while the Intel Iris was used to read in the raw footage. The CPU, memory, disk, and network had a nominal impact so that I could easily perform other tasks with ease.My second test was Microsoft .Net programming. The IDE can use substantial memory and CPU depending upon the size of, and the number of files in the solution/project. I picked a very large solution and made several changes to make the IDE and the other plug-ins scan through the code in the background. This did load up the 32 GB of RAM and use the CPU extensively, however, it did not impact my ability to work uninterrupted. I am extremely happy with the experience because this is where I spend most of my workday. Also, I do get interrupted by other developers needing assistance during the day, and I have been able to easily open their projects as well and go into an online meeting with them and collaborate efficiently. This speaks to the networking and GPU capabilities of this computer.I give it high praises. Compared to other high-end computers the LG Gram is a great value. I would highly recommend it. I should also say that it is extremely lightweight, thin, solidly constructed, and comfortable to use. The keys have a very nice touch and are backlit so that the keyboard is easy to read. It has a full number pad and discrete arrow keys.

I was very excited when I received my LG Gram laptop. I've been using another brand for quite a long time, and this opportunity was the perfect was to test out a brand of laptop I have never used before. I will be completely honest in that I personally haven't considered LG synonymous with the laptop world - monitors are a completely story as I have had LG monitors for years and they are the best.There are several specs which really caught my eye about this laptop. A 2 TB internal SSD is quite impressive. 32 GB RAM is more than enough to move into the future. I am also pleased that there is dedicated NVIDEA GeForce RTX 2050 Graphics.

I will be completely honest in that I personally haven't considered LG synonymous with the laptop world - monitors are a completely story as I have had LG monitors for years and they are the best.There are several specs which really caught my eye about this laptop. A 2 TB internal SSD is quite impressive. 32 GB RAM is more than enough to move into the future. I am also pleased that there is dedicated NVIDEA GeForce RTX 2050 Graphics. Getting Windows 11 Pro is important to me as I find the Home edition limiting for my needs. It's a 12th Gen Quad Core i7-1260P which is very good. The screen is a 16" non-reflective IPS, with WQXGA resolution (2560 x 1600, 350nit, contrast 1200:1). It's non touch, and for me personally that's not a big deal, as the laptop I have currently is touchscreen and I only use it as a picture password to open it. Out of the box, it's simply the laptop and the power cord (and a small bit of paperwork). I ran through the normal process of setting up the laptop, just like any PC. Go through the welcome screen, do the recommended LG updates during setup, and once got to the desktop view, go through Windows updates until everything is current. Once logged into my home network, it was quick to load the programs I needed plus copy data from my PC. Copying was very fast. I sync data between PC & laptop, and now with 2 TB internal plenty of storage space to copy over everything. I purchased a 1 TB Micro SD card without knowledge of max memory allowed, and it works fine. With 3 TB of storage, it's a beast. I set up face recognition for unlock, and the camera on the top edge of the screen recognized me in bright and dim situations.It's quite light at 2.83lbs. That I will attribute to its' plastic construction. Other laptops may feel more sturdy, but that makes them heavier. I tested out a few programs, and performance was quick. Fast to load, and no lag in performance even with a memory hog like QuickBooks. My previous laptop has higher resolution, but still very impressive graphics. One gripe is when you insert the Micro SD card, it doesn't seat all the way in as a bit of the edge sticks out. I don't think that will be an issue.We'll see how the next few months go, but I would recommend this LG laptop for sure.
I was honestly shocked how light this laptop was when it arrived.

The display is a bright 2560 x 1600 pixels.As with current new devices, there is a minimal amount of documentation included to help the novice get up and running. Fortunately his isn't an issue for me but help may be required for less experienced users.The usual Windows setup process starts when the LG Gram is first started. Microsoft recommends using a MS account to get the full benefits from Windows 11 (e.g. integrated MS OneDrive cloud storage and some enhanced security features).After the initial setup, Windows Update and the "LG Update & Recovery" app need to run to bring the system firmware and Windows 11 fully up to date with the latest security patches. Unfortunately this process took several hours with many reboots before the laptop was fully patched and up to date. My internet connection is quite fast, 100Mb+, so that wasn't the bottleneck.A trial version of MS Office is also included, and if you are an existing MS 365/Office user its straightforward to enter your account details to unlock the full features.Windows 11 is a natural progression on from Win10, so this shouldn't be a barrier from using the device.There are two USB3 ports, two USB-C ports (also used for charging) and an HDMI port. I use an external monitor, printer, scanner, and external storage so I've pretty much used up all the ports. All of my devices were auto detected and drivers auto installed by Windows 11.Fortunately LG haven't installed too much unwanted software. I have uninstalled the provided AV software and am using Windows Defender and Windows Firewall.Thanks to the SSD, boot/startup times are fast and there are no performance issues in using standard office software.
At last, a laptop that not only fast enough to play moderately demanding games, but despite the 17-inch screen which is a joy to behold, also light enough to carry around and has battery life that keeps it going all day. And for me, the big plus is that it's quiet. Even running a game with the fan seemingly on max output, it's a bit of white noise in the backgroud, not a jet engine whine like my previous machine. Most of the time though, it's silent.With 1TB of storage and 16GB of memory, the hardware supports everything I need it for. You might want more RAM or storage if you were editing videos but the specs suggest you can add more storage; I haven't opened it up to check.The centrepiece though is the display.

You might want more RAM or storage if you were editing videos but the specs suggest you can add more storage; I haven't opened it up to check.The centrepiece though is the display. I love the anti-glare screen so I can sit by a window without seeing reflections, narrow bezels allow the screen to fill the field of view and it's plenty bright enough for my uses.Othe user interface issues: the keyboard is just deep and clicky enough to be great to type on, and the separate number pad is useful too - if only for the Enter key that sits on the far right and is easy to prod when typing quickly.If I had a criticism, it would be that the Enter key in the middle of the keyboard is harder to pick out than if it were larger, and I'd prefer the Home and End keys, which I use a lot when typing, not to require use of the Fn key. The black case also picks up fingerprints easily but these are easy to remove with isopropyl alcohol. Or vodka will probably work too! And I'd prefer to have had Windows Pro installed by default rather than Home just for the additional networking functionality but that's simple to remedy.Charging is via a USB-C port and the charger itself is a fairly small, lightweight component, making the whole apparatus easy to carry around when necessary.Overall, after weeks of research, I'm delighted with the laptop which brings together everything you might want at the right price in a 17-inch laptop. I first spotted the Gram and thought it was probably too good but couldn't find another product to beat it.
This laptop ticks all the boxes.It is lightweight, with a large clear, and crisp screen, that is sturdy and not flimsy. Constantly traveling up and down the country for work I was conscious before purchasing that it would be a chore to carry a 17" screen and that I would have to recharge it a few times on journeys - I was very wrong. It is very portable, and not a chore to transport. The long battery life allows around 12+ hrs of constant use and up to 19.5 hrs use for less intense operation. In short, it allows you to get your work done without the need to charge even on long journeys. I currently go 2-3 days before recharging.In terms of operation and functionality, the laptop seamlessly and very quietly switches between tasks, from Netflix to Microsoft Office ... MoreThis laptop ticks all the boxes.It is lightweight, with a large clear, and crisp screen, that is sturdy and not flimsy.

In short, it allows you to get your work done without the need to charge even on long journeys. I currently go 2-3 days before recharging.In terms of operation and functionality, the laptop seamlessly and very quietly switches between tasks, from Netflix to Microsoft Office to gaming platforms to internet and video calling with the use of its 16GB of RAM and its Intel Core i7 processor. It is a powerful machine that you would not be able to tell was turned on, it is that quiet. It has lots of storage (1TB SSD), ideal for those who take lots of pictures and want a place to store them. The laptop also comes with a security mode that restricts the camera and microphone entirely - ideal for those who are security conscious.Small additions that I think are useful to note are that the keyboard is backlit with three options - off | low light | high light - which is ideal for those of us who like to work late at night or in poor light conditions. Keyboard related too is that in the box there was a keyboard cover that sits nicely over the keyboard and stops crumbs from getting between or under the keys for all of us who like to eat nearby. Lastly, Alexa is built in! Ideal for all of us music lovers, you do not have to set this option up but if you do want to it will require an Amazon account.Overall it is a top-of-the-range sleek-looking laptop with a powerful machine inside. The laptop in my opinion is ideal for people who are always on the go, require a laptop to run large software programs and do not have the opportunity to always charge it. Being top of the range means it costs a little more and in my opinion, is definitely a worthwhile investment! But for those who don't want such a large screen, there is the 16" option available, also running similar specs.The laptop is light and powerful. It is designed to make Life Good.
I am not impressed with the LG Support website nor with the LG Update utility that comes installed on the laptop. LG Update found one update to the laptop (I think it was a BIOS update, but it really wasn't clear from LG Update what it was). LG Update did not find an updated driver for a Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller for LG Notebook.(Ver.10.46.621.2021) listed on the LG Support web site as applicable to this laptop (16Z90Q-R.APB9U1, BH #LG16ZRAPB9U1).

LG Update found one update to the laptop (I think it was a BIOS update, but it really wasn't clear from LG Update what it was). LG Update did not find an updated driver for a Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller for LG Notebook.(Ver.10.46.621.2021) listed on the LG Support web site as applicable to this laptop (16Z90Q-R.APB9U1, BH #LG16ZRAPB9U1). This appears to be a driver for a number of Realtek chips. Manually installing this driver solved a problem with the sound on the internal speakers in the laptop. Prior to installing this update, the loudest setting for the internal speakers produced only very weak sound, a real disappointment given how good the 16 2560 x 1600 IPS Display is. After installing this updated driver, the sound volume is reasonable for a laptop.Another disappointment is the touchpad. The cursor makes wild jumps around web pages, sometimes selecting large sections of text. Other times, it's unresponsive when trying to place the cursor in a specific place. I've disabled all the three-finger and four-finger actions--Im happy with simple left button and right button actions. I'll update this review if I find any ways to improve the functioning of the touchpad in the available settings.The display looks great. I like the 16:10 aspect ratio, which gives you a little more screen height for the same screen width. It's a powerful laptop with excellent specs, better than what you'll get for the same money from other laptop manufacturers.Ordering from B&H is always easy and you get what you ordered shipped very promptly if what you order is in stock.
The LG gram 17Z90Q 17" Laptop is definitely a force to be reckoned with. The hallmark of this laptop is its generously large screen of 17”, weighing in at under 1.4kg, which is quite an impressive feat – providing a slim and lightweight experience, making it more convenient to take this laptop on the move with you. Whilst you’re on the move, you can be at ease, knowing that the average laptop battery life lasts around 16 hours between charges. The screen itself is near bezel-less, making it as compact as it could be for a 17” laptop. The 16:10 aspect ratio provides incredibly sharp resolution, that is further backed by a bright screen, with 350 nits and anti-glare coating, ensuring on a sunny day, your screen can be seen with ease!

The 16:10 aspect ratio provides incredibly sharp resolution, that is further backed by a bright screen, with 350 nits and anti-glare coating, ensuring on a sunny day, your screen can be seen with ease! For those who like to use dual-screens, the LG Gram has the ability to pair with the gram+ view, for a more proactive multi-tasking experience.The LG Gram already runs on the latest operating system (Windows 11), making the set-up quite a breeze, with no long downloads, meaning the laptop is virtually ready-to-go straight from unboxing. The RAM storage on the laptop is 16GB LPDDR5 (@5200 MHz), which means this laptop can handle multiple high-performance tasks simultaneously, whether this be having many programs running, files or multiple screens open- this laptop can truly do it all!The 12th gen Intel (i7) processor provides the laptop with high-end power when it comes to processing speeds, leading to CPU performance that makes no compromises, as the 12 efficient cores within the I7 work intelligently, providing faster speeds when gaming, multi-tasking or media-editing. There are no compromises in storage either, as this laptop is fitted with a terabyte of solid-state storage, which provides enormous amount of space for media, apps, files and games, that can be accessed faster than HDD options. It is note-worthy to mention that SDD are noticeably quieter, lighter and more energy-efficient!The customized features and adaptations unique to this laptop are extremely appreciated, which is all thanks to LG Glance.Unfortunately, the LG gram doesn’t have touchscreen applications, which was a shame, however, with such a high-resolution screen, one does think that smudgy fingerprints would indeed taint the immersive experience! It is also quite an expensive piece of hardware, meaning it isn’t a likely option if you’re on a budget, albeit you do get what you pay for.
The LG gram is not the first laptop to try to be a lightweight workhorse, but it is the best. When you unbox the laptop, it looks like many others you see, its all black, standard profile, but the added screen real estate is very obvious. The real surprise comes when you pick it up out the box, the laptop feels feather light.Lets start with design and feel then. The material is a magnesium alloy which is lightweight as I have covered. It’s a neutral feeling material, it doesn’t feel cold like the metal of a mac or other metal laptops, and it feels premium. It offers a wide aspect display, but the actual proportions of this 16 inch display feel like most other 15 inch laptops, so it isn’t obviously larger or any less portable than a smaller comparative. The hinge is ... MoreThe LG gram is not the first laptop to try to be a lightweight workhorse, but it is the best.

It’s a neutral feeling material, it doesn’t feel cold like the metal of a mac or other metal laptops, and it feels premium. It offers a wide aspect display, but the actual proportions of this 16 inch display feel like most other 15 inch laptops, so it isn’t obviously larger or any less portable than a smaller comparative. The hinge is smooth, the display is matte (office workers will delight). It offers up 2 x USB 3 ports, a micro SD slot, a headphone jack, 2 x Thunderbolt ports and a HDMI port. All in all you get a very well stocked and useful connectivity array. Did I also mention this thing is light?The display is excellent, colour reproduction is good, with a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution. Key travel is relatively shallow but that’s the same on any modern ultrabook, and the typing experience is excellent. The keyboard is backlit, and the very useful LG software on board allows you to customise the level of backlighting, as well as the fan, with a range of modes available ranging from silent to high performance.The specs sheet continues the strong trend - the core i7-1260p is frankly excellent, handling any task with ease (it’s a 12 core 16 thread CPU). Paired with 16GB of LPDDR5 memory and a really fast SSD, there was nothing that the LG Gram 16 couldn’t handle easily.With all this in mind, you may expect that battery life takes a hit. An ultra powerful CPU in a lightweight laptop and usually you find there is a trade off, but not here. Battery life was strong, easily lasting a very full day (over 12 hours) of work on a single charge. The Macbook air is the closest comparative to the type of long battery life you get, but that is heavier and comes with a much smaller, glossy screen.Where the LG Gram really shines is this combination of power, battery life and the significant boost in screen real estate the 16 inch display offers you. It really is a desktop replacement in a portable and lightweight package and if you are looking for a laptop for office or university, this is one to go for. It’s the complete package.
