Pros and Cons

LG Gram 16

Strengths

The laptop is super lightweight and has a comfortable keyboard and trackpad.
It doesn't get warm to the touch while using it, making it ideal for casual use like browsing the web or working on office documents.
Battery life is really good, with 60% remaining after 4 hours of Netflix video playback over Wi-Fi.
The laptop's performance is fine for casual tasks like browsing and office work, even if it's not great for intensive tasks.
The external 16-in monitor (LG Grand plus view) matches perfectly with the laptop's display, making it a great addition to give more usable screen space.
Priced at $1,300 for the model with 1 TB of storage, it's a strong option for a certain type of user who values portability and comfort.

Weaknesses

The laptop doesn't perform well enough for its price range, especially in intensive tasks like gaming or video editing.
The screen lacks brightness, making it hard to take advantage of the large 16-in display to see more content on the screen.
Fan noise is noticeable even in normal fan mode, and can be distracting in quiet environments.
Running the laptop on 'no noise' mode heavily throttles its performance, making it unusable for most tasks.
The CPU core temperatures don't hit 100°C during intensive tasks, which might limit its performance potential.
If you plan to do anything intensive with this laptop, it's not a good choice, as it will throttle its performance to stay cool.

It's very portable, I kind of love this carbon fiber weave on the lid.
The vapor chamber cooling business going on is a decent sell in itself.
You get two Thunderbolt 4 ports which is wonderful.
The HDI2.1 port and headphone jack are also nice features.
It has good ISV certifications for those who need them.
