LG Announces Pricing and Availability of 2022 LG Gram Laptop Lineup and its First Portable Display

LG Electronics USA announced pricing and availability of its 2022 LG gram lineup of premium laptops. Ideal for a wide variety of users who value supreme portability and sleek, ultra-light designs that adopt innovative software and the latest hardware to offer even more power and convenience, LGs latest gram lineup - LG gram, LG gram 2-in-1 and +view for LG gram are available now at LG.com and at select LG-authorized retailers nationwide. The 2022 LG gram lineup features : gram 17 (17Z90Q), gram 16 (16Z90Q), gram 15 (15Z90Q), gram 14 (14Z90Q), gram 2-in-1 (16T90Q and 14T90Q), and the series' first-ever portable monitor, +view for LG gram (16MQ70).

Each new LG gram laptop provides powerful performance backed by a 12th Gen Intel Core processor. This year's laptops have also been upgraded to the latest Gen4 NVMe SSD, and employ low-voltage LPDDR5 RAM to achieve a performance boost versus outgoing models. Intel Evo Platform certified, the 2022 LG grams deliver excellent battery life, giving users the freedom to work, or play, wherever their day takes them. LG's premium laptops are synonymous with superb picture quality.. Featuring 16:10 aspect ratio, WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600) resolution IPS panels, the new grams provide sharp, vibrant images with high brightness, 99 percent coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and plenty of screen real estate to meet users' diverse productivity and entertainment needs. What's more, LG's advanced IPS displays are now anti-glare, reducing distracting reflections and making it easier for users to see what they're working on, regardless of ambient light conditions.
2022 LG gram laptops elevate the user experience with LG Glance by Mirametrix, an innovative AI-based software solution that enhances security and convenience. LG Glance by Mirametrix automatically locks the screen if the user steps away from their laptop. It also alerts the user and blurs the content they are working on if someone is peeking at the screen from over their shoulder. Conveniently, if a separate monitor is connected, the mouse cursor and the window currently being used automatically move to whichever screen the user is looking at. Additionally, this year's models offer an optimized environment for video conferencing with features such as AI-noise cancelling and a built-in Full HD webcam. The new LG grams also feature face log in.

The latest grams remain true to the brand's core identity, delivering compact, ultra-lightweight designs without sacrificing durability or performance. With their 4-way super-slim bezel design, each model offers an excellent screen-to-body ratio and is rugged enough to meet the U.S. military's stringent MIL-STD-810G standard. On top of that, all 2022 LG gram products ship in eco-conscious packaging that presents thoughtful reusability after unboxing - cleverly converting to a desk calendar and pencil holder.

Versatile devices that enable users to switch between laptop and tablet in seconds, the new 16- and 14-inch LG gram 2-in-1 models come with pre-installed drawing and note taking applications optimized for the LG Stylus Pen (Wacom AES 2.0). With the combination of smoothly integrated stylus support and LG's AI-based user interface, the latest gram convertibles offer greater work efficiency as well as a responsive and enjoyable writing and sketching experience.

This year's gram lineup also welcomes the +view for LG gram, a portable 16-inch monitor with detachable cover that connects via USB-C to extend the digital workspace. The 16MQ70 can be placed next to a laptop in horizontal or vertical orientation, and is a perfect match for LG gram ; combining to provide an extended digital workspace for advanced multitasking.

I'm not too fond of those prices, but I like both the 16:10 aspect ratio and the option for screen sizes that actually offer some real-estate.

Strong single core performance, but Intel integrated graphics and what about battery life?

Intel IGP is plenty, these are not for gaming. And battery life has rarely been a problem for Intel.

So haven't been following reviews of the 2022 laptop refreshes with the new 12th gen Intel P chips then? Battery life is absolutely a problem for Intel right now, and has been compared to AMD since the 5000 series was released.

As for gaming, well just because Intel's GPU's can't game well doesn't mean they should get a pass. AMD's 680M is doubling Xe 96EU performance currently, and absolutely can 'game', yet uses less power than 12th gen Intel P series. If LG made AMD 6000 series version of the 16 inch Gram they would have another customer.

Yeah for the aspect ratio. Boo no Rembrandt versions. I'm not getting AL in a laptop period. Still I'm not needing a new laptop just yet and can wait for Phoenix next year.

This is subjected to how well the laptop can keep the chip cool. On paper, the CPU is very powerful. But in such a slim laptop, I doubt the CPU can maintain its clockspeed due to high power PL1 and 2 values, and the lack of real estate for proper cooling. That’s why, I feel that people buying these ultra slim laptop should be aware that they are paying a steep premium for a laptop that sounds great on paper, but is going to underperform all the time.

In my opinion, if your focus is on gaming, then you should really look away from these ultra slim laptops. Even if they do slap some kind of dedicated GPU in there, it is going to underperform as it throttles to prevent itself from overheating. AMD’s RDNA2 iGPU is a significant step up for iGPU, but in a U series chip where it is power and thermal limited, you will not be getting the most out of the 680M. I feel the RDNA2 iGPU (especially the top end 680M) will take off only when you consider the H or HX series where the laptops will have more robust cooling solution, and higher power limit.
