Chassis, connections, screen of the LG Gram 16 16Z90S-G.AD7CF
Certified to the American military robustness standard MIL-STD-810H, this multimedia-oriented laptop has a sober appearance with its thin and light design in a comfortable format and dark color.
The connectivity integrated into this Ultrabook is good, consisting of 2 USB-C Thunderbolt 4, Bluetooth 5.1 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connecting remotely, a practical HDMI video output for easy connection. to a monitor or TV for example, an audio port as well as 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.
Biometric authentication by facial recognition is possible via the infrared functionality of the webcam and Windows Hello technology.
The chiclet keyboard benefits from a practical backlighting solution to activate when you need to better distinguish the keys.
The screen benefits from 2.5K High Definition, associated with a 16/10th format higher than the classic 16/9th to display more information.
Furthermore, the screen is also High Fidelity because it offers DCI-P3 colorimetric accuracy much higher than average while its viewing angles are significant, both horizontally and vertically.
As it has an anti-reflective coating, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors).
Performance, autonomy of the LG Gram 16 16Z90S-G.AD7CF
The LG Gram 16 16Z90S-G.AD7CF may appeal to those who wish to have a discreet portable laptop with high performance in terms of AI-oriented processor and multimedia offering high storage capacity.
Nomads like some who wish to have a student laptop PC may be interested because it is able to last around 10 hours on battery in light use. While being very easy to transport despite its comfortable 16-inch format because it is thin and very light.
This laptop PC also offers a large capacity of 2000 GB to calmly install and store quantities of applications and files, including personal production if desired.
More specifically, we find two 1000 GB SSDs integrated, double the average to be comfortable.
Obviously all the advantages of an SSD are on the program: silent operation, robust design, low energy consumption but also high speed.
The latter reinforces responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis, which translates into quick starts/stops as well as software launches, processing and arrival on online game cards.
Certainly, no dedicated graphics card is on board to appeal to demanding gamers.
However, thanks to the Intel Arc graphics module inserted in the processor, you can watch HD photos and videos.
But also play light to modest games… as long as you are ready for a few adjustments.
We are thinking in particular of a reduction in the definition of the screen. Because playing in 2.5K requires more graphics calculations than playing in Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.
It is the Core Ultra 7 155H which houses the Intel Arc, a Meteor Lake processor with 16 hybrid cores and AI capabilities. It is supported here by a large quantity of 32 GB RAM – here also double the average – to clearly see what is happening in this area. And provide solid overall performance that will delight demanding users.
Creators will particularly benefit from these components in areas using multi-core, RAM (and AI), such as video editing or photo editing.
Because this core reveals its potential in these areas, guaranteeing much faster processing than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5.
Finally, expect heat and noise when this multimedia-oriented laptop PC is pushed hard (e.g. processing).
A ventilated support can be associated with it if necessary to limit its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
