It’s very light but built like an absolute tank.

Before we delve into the design and finish of this laptop, it’s worth taking a moment to look at its screen. The tested version uses a 16-inch IPS LCD panel with WQXGA resolution (2560 x 1600 points) and a maximum brightness delivery capacity of 350 nits. In my opinion, this resolution fits well with the size of this panel, and, in addition, the quality of this IPS matrix is ​​very high.

According to LG, the panel of this laptop offers us coverage of 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, and, although I have not yet had the opportunity to test it calmly enough to form an accurate idea about its performance, during this initial contact, I realized that it stands out for the richness with which it reproduces color. LG has been making good-quality IPS panels for many years, and it’s only reasonable to accept that the ones it has chosen for the various versions of its flagship ultralight will be up to the task.

One of the most attractive qualities of this laptop is that it weighs only 1.1 kg. Its lightness can invite us to intuit that it is not resistant equipment, but it is. And it is because both its internal structure and enclosure are made of magnesium and carbon alloy. This material gives them excellent rigidity and a high capacity for absorbing impacts.

Another characteristic that allows this ultralight to stand out from many of its competitors is its autonomy. However, in this first contact, we have not had the opportunity to put it to the test. This is the reason why for the moment, we will have to stick with the 16.5 hours that LG promises us, although users know that the most prudent thing to do is to take the figures that brands offer us when they talk about autonomy with some reservations.

On the other hand, this laptop measures 16.8mm in its thickest part, so it doesn’t take up much more than a folder. Of course, when you have it in your hand, it transmits robustness. It does not give the feeling of being a piece of fragile equipment, which invites us to use it without reservation, even outdoors. The rigidity conferred to the internal structure, and the case by the magnesium-carbon alloy, is perceptible.

In the detailed photograph we publish above these lines, we can see the connectors housed on the right side of this laptop: a MicroSD 3.0 UHS-I card slot, two USB 3.2 type A ports, and the relevant Kensington lock. On the other side of the device are the HDMI output, two USB 4 Gen 3 type C ports, and the 3.5 mm jack to which we can connect our headphones.

If you try LG’s new portable monitor, you’re lost (because of how good it is)

We have no room to doubt it: the Gram +view external screen (16MQ70) that LG offers us is the star peripheral of this laptop. It weighs 670 grams, it has USB-C connectivity (it receives both data and power through this connection interface), it has a sensor that allows it to act on the orientation of the images to identify whether we place it vertically or horizontally, and it measures 360 x 245.5 x 8.3mm.

Its IPS-type LCD matrix is ​​16 inches and has a WQXGA resolution (2560 x 1600 points), so its aspect ratio is 16:10. According to LG, this panel offers us coverage of 99% of the DCI-P3 color space. Despite not being able to analyze its image quality in detail, we can anticipate that it is a good panel.

In any case, beyond its specifications, what makes this external screen so attractive is its profound impact on our experience. And also in our performance. We can extend your desk to a whopping 33 inches by connecting it to an ultralight Gram. This feature is exciting when we are forced to improvise Our work setup outside our usual space.

The keyboard on this laptop is a delight. And your touchpad, too (although a little less)

To get a precise idea about the quality and performance of many of the components of a laptop, it is usually necessary to test them calmly, but this does not happen with the keyboard. Usually, a few minutes are enough for us to realize if it is up to the task or not, and that of this ultralight, it is.
The most devastating possibility for the drug industry

As you can see in the following photograph, it is of the chiclet type, and the mechanism housed under each key effectively manages to inhibit the transverse oscillation of each one of them. The travel of each key is short, but they have a generous surface, are not too close together, and their touch is delightful.

Lggram Keyboard

LG has not neglected the touchpad of this equipment either. Its surface is wide (measuring 131.5 x 82.6 mm), implements gesture control, vertical and horizontal scrolling, and responds to our touches quickly and accurately. I have nothing to object to the touchpad of this ultralight, although it seems appropriate to admit that during this initial contact, it did not surprise me as much as the keyboard with which it coexists did.

However, this is not the only thing they share. They also have in standard a meticulous construction, a quality IPS LCD panel, and state-of-the-art specifications in which the presence of a 12th generation Intel Core microprocessor with Alder Lake microarchitecture, 5200 MHz LPDDR5 memory modules, and SSD units stand out. With PCIe 4.0 interface. We have tested one of these devices, the Gram 16Z90Q with a 16-inch screen, and we assure you that it has what it takes to leave no one indifferent.
