Some featherweights that look like heavyweights (in performance)
The LG Gram has had competition in recent years, but the truth is that the compromise between lightness and performance continues to improve over time.
The design maintains its virtues, such as the magnesium and carbon alloy chassis that helps reduce the final weight. The 14-inch model weighs only 999 grams, but it is that the 17-inch is at 1,450 grams in its version with dedicated graphics (dGPU), something really amazing.
The internals have been upgraded to prove it, and there’s the new 13th-gen Intel Core to rule them. It is also possible to expand the memory up to 32 GB and reach 2 TB of storage.
The surprise also reaches the graphic section: despite its thinness and low weight, we have here the option to assemble an RTX 3050, a solvent graphics to play a good set of games if we lower the resolution and graphic detail a bit.
The screens are also promising, except perhaps in the case of the 15-inch model, something more modest – only Full HD. Here those interested in gaming will do well to go for the 16 and 17-inch models, whose panels support 144 Hz refresh rates.
In two of the variants, the 14-inch and 16-inch, we are dealing with teams that also they have convertible version. In them the touch panel can give new options for productivity and creativity.
The port offering is great, and it’s also slightly better on the larger models, which include a micro SD card reader. The Full HD webcam is combined with the z that automatically locks the screen if the user moves away from the laptop or alerts the user and blurs the content if it detects that someone is looking over their shoulder at the screen.
Price and availability of the new LG Gram
According to the manufacturer, the new LG gram series is already available in Spain, and the starting price for this family is 1,449 eurosalthough that amount varies by model and configuration.
