Performance, autonomy of the LG Gram 16 16Z90S-G.AA78F
The LG Gram 16 16Z90S-G.AA78F may be of interest to those who wish to have a thin, very light 16-inch laptop for versatile, everyday use on the go.
Despite its comfortable format, it is thin and light which makes it easy to transport. It will be of even more interest to nomads such as those who wish to have a student laptop PC as it can last around 10 hours on battery in light use.
Despite this good autonomy, this laptop delivers solid general performance capable of satisfying a maximum of users.
Because it is based on a Core Ultra 7 155H Meteor Lake processor with 16 hybrid cores, AI services and integrated Intel Arc graphics solution. But also on 16 GB of RAM.
Those who perform multimedia processing will be delighted to obtain much faster results with these cores than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core processor and 8 GB DDR4/5. The difference is particularly noticeable under CPU and RAM-intensive work that takes advantage of multi-core, such as video editing or photo editing.
Gamers, however, are not the target of this laptop PC which logically skips a dedicated graphics card given its finesse and lightness.
Despite everything, it benefits from the benefits of Intel Arc, superior to those of the classic Iris Xe.
Concretely, we can watch HD photos and videos. But also play light to modest games if you agree to concessions such as a reduction in screen definition. Because in 2.5K a greater number of calculations are necessary than in Full HD, which results in a lower number of fps.
LG logically opts in terms of storage for a 1 TB SSD, significant capacity for installing and storing a lot of software and files.
Thanks to the SSD we obtain faster processing, starts/stops and launches of applications than with a hard drive, or even faster arrival on online game cards.
Generally speaking, SSD provides increased responsiveness and fluidity compared to a hard drive.
It must be said that in addition to being more robust, less energy consuming and silent, an SSD is much faster.
Finally, expect heat and noise when this Ultrabook is pushed hard (e.g. processing).
To contain its temperatures, it can be combined with a ventilated support if necessary (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
