LG gram Style

Strengths

The performance with 13th gen is nice and slick, even with loads of tabs open and multitasking.
The gorgeous 120 HZ OLED screen is incredible, very color accurate (100% srgb, 96% Adobe RGB, 99% DCI P3) and has a high pixel density (wqhd+ resolution).
The design is subjective but I think it's very stylish, and the laptop feels super portable and ultra lightweight.
The performance with integrated XE Graphics is sufficient for casual gaming and photo/video editing.
The dual 3w stereo speakers are nice and loud with clear vocals decent bass, although they can get muffled on your lap or at louder volumes.
The LG Gram Style is one of the most exciting laptops made in a while, if you can afford it.
The laptop's performance is more than fast enough for day-to-day workload.

Weaknesses

The price is just a little bit too high for something with a low wattage CPU and no discreet GPU.
There's no touch input on the screen, which might be a drawback for some users.
The OLED screens are more power hungry, resulting in shorter battery life (around 7-8 hours) compared to non-OLED models.
The fans can get loud when running benchmarks or demanding tasks.
The laptop's hinge is not very robust and the screen can wobble a bit.
There's no discreet GPU, which might limit gaming performance or video editing capabilities.
The battery life could be better, especially for a high-end model like this one.
