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.

MSI Raider GE68 HX

Strengths

The new GE68 does certainly offer improvements over last year's GE67.
Faster PCIe Gen 5 storage is a nice addition.
The Intel 13th gen CPU offers more performance and faster memory speeds, making it a great choice for content creation and gaming.
Supports Nvidia's new frame generation feature, which makes gameplay in supported games feel smoother.

The LG Gram 16 is a laptop that promises to deliver on its name, with a lightweight and compact design. However, beneath its sleek exterior lies a more nuanced performance profile.

This review will explore whether the Gram 16's strengths outweigh its weaknesses, making it a worthwhile purchase for users with specific needs.

MSI Raider GE68 HX

The MSI Raider GE68 HX is a powerful gaming laptop that boasts an impressive array of features, including Intel's 13th gen CPU, Nvidia's RTX 4070 graphics, and PCIe Gen 5 storage. While it offers some notable upgrades over its predecessor, the price tag may be a hurdle for those looking to play games on a budget. This review will explore whether the GE68 HX is worth the investment, or if last year's model with an RTX 3070 Ti remains a more appealing option.
