This is a wonderful laptop in real life usage. The portability is a game changer - light on the lap on the sofa, or travelling for school or work the weight really helps. it's unusual to get such a big screen in light and small footprint. Keyboard, screen are outstanding. Fast SSD. Good battery 8+ hours. It's a great productivity laptop.
The LG Gram gets heavy discounts in the UK, so the top-of-the-line LG Gram 16 Style with OLED, 120Hz, 32GB/2TB is currently £1899, though it is sold out. This is the machine I bought on release with this discount, and I also received a £400 display free. So, although the sticker price is high, the reality is that these are reasonably priced premium ultrabooks. I also have an Intel 8th Gen that still runs great. They are very tough and I have had no issues, which compared to the failures of my previous Dells & Lenovo's is a breath of fresh air. Highly recommend it but get the discounts.
It's a good laptop, no question about it, but its prices *(imo)* are just ridiculously insane. 🤯 For half if not a third of the price of the LG Gram you can get a laptop from other brands with the same if not better specs and ports...often together with non-cheap accessories too.
@@richardngjoobeng1403 Good for you. 👍👏 Still, there are many similarly light laptops that cost a fraction of the price of the LG Gram (MacBooks excluded).
This "Severely Outdated" HDMI can connect you to any display (new or old TVs )on the planet these days. What is the problem with the HDMI port? love it.
Hey there, the HDMI port it self is not the issue. Its the HDMI 1.4 standard that's an issue which means I actually would not be able to utilize a standard 4k resolution at 60hz or greater. Making it virtually useless for modern TV's to your initial point.
Thermals... Of course this is highly subjective, but there's a reason the laptop does not heat up too much... It's because both the CPU (and GPU if you have a model with a 3050) throttle when you so much as blink at them. This severely limits the performance of the laptop too. Yes, it will run decently with normal tasks, but if you push a big task at it, it will first have the fans spin up like a chopper, swiftly followed by a hug dip in performance. I never actually ran stress tetst on this, but I am guessing the GPU runs between 15-30% capacity under heavy load to just keep temperatures down. I like the gram for what it is, an ultra portable solution, but would recommend the base version (or whatever else is on super discount or open box sale).
Im really needing a good keyboard. I find most laptop keyboards usually pretty unusable. You said you like this one and lenovo ideapad 5. Which do you prefer out of those two?
@tjhsiao06 I have that already for desktop but I am not interested in sitting farther away from the screen and carrying an extra keyboard with a laptop
highly, massively overpriced...especially here in africa. almost as bad as dell xps series. looks a bit boring for a 'new' product. glad for watching this, though...they can do better. 🙏🏽
overpriced and outdated.. i can name 5 cheaper and better 16 inch bellow 2 kg with better ports and on par performance. lenovo ideapad 5 pro 16. slim5i 16 ,dell inspiron 16, dell vostro 16 5620,7620,acer swift go 16, hp envy 16, huawei matebook d16 -a cheapie and the new hp pavilion plus 16

That's a fair analysis.
As a LG Gram 16 (11th Gen) user, I just love the light weight, I can carry it with one hand. Going for 13th gen soon.

weight < than price
> you can get a laptop from other brands with the same if not better specs
And of course you don't tell us what those other laptops are.
True. Concur with your view. The high price is not justifiable.

You want to invest money to get an external keyboard

please check the difference between pound and KG’s.
All laptops you mention are actually twice the weight of LG 😂
those laptops are much heavier than gram
only one is accer swift edge not the go model and its 999 dollars with 54 hr battery vs lg's 80 watt battery
So.... No you can't because you can't do math. Thanks for playing.
