LG Gram Review

It seems that most computer manufacturers approach their design in one of several ways, sacrificing weight and size to the gods of performance or delivering the best possible specs at a great student price, features and build quality, while devil, for example, but not me. I don't think I've ever seen a computer with this kind of laser-like focus found in the LG Gram, a 15-inch laptop designed to be as light as possible—so light that I can hold it by the corner with two fingers. . Case Maker 5 features its free-form modular system that allows you to customize, adjust and upgrade, make it yours at the link in the video description, so let's get started, I guess with a tour of the device, the outer casing is made of magnesium and metal.

In the same family as lithium and one of the lightest on the periodic table with a subtle champagne finish that looks good and does an amazing job of repelling fingerprints. They absolutely got it right. The choice of material is a big part of what gives the Graham its amazingness. It has a low weight and comes with a few other advantages: it still feels like metal when you touch it, which gives it a more premium feel than you can achieve a plastic laptop, but it heats up almost as fast as plastic without the heat of your hands. cold wrist rest first thing in the morning and its excellent thermal conductivity means the Gram runs without a fan until it sees about a minute and a half of sustained charging, at which point those two little vents near the screen hinge come into play. action to maintain that dual Core Hyperthreaded Core i7 6500 U is great and all this at very reasonable temperatures and barely audible noise levels, so you're probably wondering at this point why magnesium isn't used more often if it's so amazing, Well, it's not the first.

The time I saw it done just to be clear, I remember Aug, a tough book from Panasonic in my local London pharmacy in the mid 2000s, but magnesium comes with some baggage, it's actually very malleable, so that clever alloying with other metals and structural reinforcement is needed to achieve this. to achieve even the strength you see here with the soft palm rests and the screen that can be bent into a subtle curve and then straightened again without much force, but LG apparently thought this compromise of R&D work and robustness was worth it because They looked at Competitors like Apple who seemed to go so far as to treat their thin and light models like track cars and thought there must be another way because the Gram has ports on the left, you'll find a plug that I wish was a little bigger.

USB 3 more robust or even magnetic HDMI and a USB 3 Type C port, although unfortunately not equipped with Thunderbolt, on the right you will find USB 2 USB 3 again a headphone microphone combo jack and a bit strangely a Micro SD slot I mean , don't get me wrong, it's better than nothing, but the number of times I found myself thinking, Oh my God, I sure wish I had a Micro SD reader on my laptop can be easily counted on one hand, while an SD slot that can Easily fit micro would probably have been worth the extra couple of

gram

s for me, but there would have been room for my Sports Exclusive Edition model 8 gigs of ddr3l memory, a 512 gig Samsung pm871 SATA based m.2 SSD and a Intel AC Wireless 7265 wireless module and a 44.95 mamp battery that LG advertises as capable of 7 hours of use, but in practice, almost all laptops only reach that kind of number when used in airplane mode with the screen completely dimmed, something I normally do.

It wasn't a test, but I was actually stuck on dark buses for hours with this thing, so yeah, the PC Mark standardized battery test I usually take gave the

gram

a respectable but less impressive score and the thing to remember here is that, despite the non-benchmark-breaking dual-core processor, a more normal 15-inch laptop that can look and perform well, lasts a similar amount of time, but will do a lot more with that time. battery if you're looking to tackle heavier tasks like working. in Photoshop or light video editing while you're on the go, but that regular laptop probably won't have such an interesting form factor, let's take a look at the screen, the bezels are impressively thin, which means the gram will be smaller in almost every dimension than other devices with a matte finish 15-inch IPS screen, now the 1920x 1080 resolution without upgrade options may surprise in the era of 3K and 4K laptop screens, but it honestly doesn't bother me at 15 years old .

I agree with LG's choice to save some battery life or allow me to make the backlight a little brighter as a trade-off for that extra resolution, which is not to say I agree with all the trade-offs that were made, presumably to save weight on the webcam. in that horrible, unflattering position below the screen on the bottom bezel, which is a shame because otherwise the picture and sound quality are quite good and the keyboard, oh the keyboard, is fine. First the positives, the tactile response considering the Z depth which is the thickness of the laptop. It's not bad and the keystrokes are very quiet for working on your novel at the local Starbucks without disturbing other customers, but I think it would take me a long time using just this machine to get used to some of its eccentricities, like the layout of the three column numeric keypad and the proximity of the arrow keys to the space bar and nowadays I understand that weight saving was the name of the game here, a non-backlit keyboard is a total pain, the good news is that having A The numeric keypad is something that many people will find very valuable and the click keyboard is quite good with two-handed operation, it just sometimes fails and the tracking feels responsive and precise, which brings us nicely to I guess the Final Summary There are things that buyers will like about the laptop and there are things that they won't like about the gram.

No device is perfect, exceptional battery life, non-touchscreen tablet-like performance, and mediocre ruggedness are low points. I mean, seriously, I wouldn't even put this in a crowded backpack. for fear of bending, but the good, if not high-resolution IPS screen is completely devoid of junk wear. I installed Steam and Ida. Loud enough speakers stand out. Esthetic. One finger hinge that blew me away given how light this thing is and of course the overall design. The weight of the device is enough for me, even if I can't give it an unconditional buy now recommendation, I feel the need to congratulate LG for its achievement here in a sea of ​​devices that seek to strike a balance between battery performance, price etc. end up being pretty much the same damn thing because LG's Gram team took a unique vision and saw it through, that's what makes people almost universally, including me, say wow, this is cool when they hold it for the first time, so I have to congratulate them on the fact that the device they built is like no other and if you want a big screen on a laptop that you will hardly realize you have on you, look no further because nothing else achieves this like the Gram. and on the subject of extremely exclusive products, it is curious that there are massive drops.
