LG gram 16 Review - Still the Best Light Laptop?

Review of the 2022 LG gram 16 that now uses the Intel 12th Gen Processor and can be spec'd with a RTX 2050. Is the LG gram the best light laptop you can buy?

** Adobe RGB is 87% not 8%. What do you guys think of the LG Gram 16?

Just so everyone knows, the 2-in-1 model with the same CPU but 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage often goes on sale for ~$1K at Costco.

I literally bought the 17 inch 2022 model... yesterday, based on your observations. Thank you Mathew!

What about for photography! I need something for Adobe PS and Lightroom.

Great video…what laptop do you think is best if keyboard and 10 key is biggest factor. Have accounting firm and looking at laptop.

Lg gram intel 12th gen(14 inch) vs Fujitsu UH-X 12th gen(13.3 inch). Which one should I pick? They are so similar.

I replaced my Surface Laptop with a Gram 15 a few years ago, and replaced that with a Gram 16 when the chance came. The Surface Laptop was better in many ways but you just can't argue against this amount of screen real estate and battery life for the weight.

I got the Gram 16 RTX 3050 for mostly office work, youtube watching and occasional flight sim. Compared to the regular Gram 16, the screen feels sturdier and doesn't wobble, and the speakers sound much better (higher wattage than on regular Gram 16). I also tested ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 but prefered Gram's light weight. I will miss the red nipple on ThinkPad but so far no regrets.

Should I worry about burn in on the dell xps 15 9520? If so, how can I prevent it?

Soldering the RAM killed this laptop for a lot of people. 2x NVME is really nice though and should become standard wherever possible.

I just got a HP Aero. Love the lightness but miss a bigger screen. This LG is looking good but what is it with Window laptops always missing a full.size SD card slot?

[jetmartin]

Love the fact that it's Lightweight and it has a somewhat matte finish on the screen (that means it might be useable in outdoor shady situations) but do wish it was a minimum 400nits (preferably 500nits). I also wish that they had a AMD 6800/6900 version because of AMD's efficiency (= better battery life)....more battery is always better imo. Re: the review, nice job. I'd like to have heard how you determined battery life of 11hours?..150nits looping video play?...I wish reviewers would do a more realistic battery test...I mean who would watch a video at 150nits...How about a mixed productivity battery test at 100% screen brightness..even if you have to project the battery life based on 2 or 3 hours of usage. Just a suggestion as the 150nit standard test is pretty useless for determining the real life battery life of a laptop. Again, just a suggestion for ways to meet your viewers needs. Thanks for listening.

I bought my gen 7 x1 carbon thanks to your review and I’d be buying a LG gram. Always dropping gems🎉

[stevesutton]

It is usb-c style charged or barrel charged?

Why don't they centralise the track pad?

[benji]

Hey mate, thanks for your work, great vid.

Was just wondering what the variables/context of your trial was to achieve 11hrs battery life?

[alex]

Hey Matt, can you review the Thinkbook 16P?

[LVBRIP]

I bought one of these because the mouse switches on my old dell wore out. That wouldn't happen here because there's NO SWITCHES. Ok, I can tap, but that only works SOMETIMES. What a nightmare. Currently trying to return it, but Amazon are being VERY difficult! I'd never buy from Amazon again.

I like thin and light laptops like this but once you understand cooling and thermal throttling you see things different. It is a pretty cool laptop though, (considering the target) but for me, the LG View monitor seems to be a more interesting device.

LG is doing an ecxellent job with their laptops. I wish they could do the same with their smartphones!!!
