LG gram 14 2-in-1

Strengths

The thing about all of LG's laptops that you're not making sacrifices, there's a lot of stuff that I review where where I kind of have to end up saying well this Smartphone is okay but if you're the type who really wants a great camera then you might like it or this laptop is okay but if you want a really great battery you might like it um it's not a niche product, it's on par with any Ultra Booker convertible out there uh it's got the full keyboard, it's got the clickable trackpad touch pen support um the fingerprint sensor in the power button and I love the fingerprint sensor in the power button, it makes sense uh it's natural so this has a 72w hour battery LG says it can last 21.5 hours on a charge, probably 10 hours is fine to me, you want to be able to take it to work and not bring your charger with you and not worry that you won't be able to make it through the day.
The display is a bit of a letdown since there's no 4K or QHD options, but you're not compromising the pro full 15 watt quad core processor, same thing that you'll find in any uh laptop or convertible um you know no dedicated graphics but you won't find those in anything um in this form factor or size or weight, so really it's just a really light device and LG does a great job of engineering these.
You're not compromising USB type A, there's not just one but two ports, you're not compromising HDMI um you might be compromising a little bit on the display because there's no 4K or QHD options um but you're not compromising the pro full 15 watt quad core processor same thing that you'll find in any uh laptop or convertible um you know no dedicated graphics but you won't find those in anything um in this form factor or size or weight.
it doesn't seem to be too big of a deal, it's just a really light device and LG does a great job of engineering these, so yeah there's really no compromise here,

Its battery life is probably around 10 hours which is fine, to me the bar for for where battery life needs to be you need to be able to take it to work and not bring your charger with you and not worry that you won't be able to make it through the day.
The fingerprint sensor in the power button makes sense uh it's natural so this has a 72w hour battery
Its really just a really light device and LG does a great job of engineering these, so yeah there's really no compromise here

Weaknesses

I'm not going to say I believe it I don't believe any company's battery claims because they're mostly just false um usually when a company says 21 and a half hours of battery life that means more like 10 you know um most most companies that they'll run video playback for 21 and a half hours and honestly that's just not real life that's not how real people use their PCS and that's why I don't run Battery tests you know your your real life usage is not going to is not going to reflect my Benchmark that's stupid so so I mean really probably 10 hours
I wouldn't count on the USB type-c charger, it does seem to be working right now again remember when I first plugged it in it worked briefly and then it stopped working so um I'm I'm GNA try I'm G to try using this my only charger because I don't want to have a separate charger
Its battery life is probably around 10 hours which is fine, but the bar for for where battery life needs to be you need to be able to take it to work and not bring your charger with you and not worry that you won't be able to make it through the day
I wouldn't count on it just yet I'm trying USB type-c charging again and it does seem to be working right now, but initially it stopped working so um I wouldn't count on it just yet
You're compromising a little bit on the display because there's no 4K or QHD options um but you're not compromising the pro full 15 watt quad core processor same thing that you'll find in any uh laptop or convertible um you know no dedicated graphics but you won't find those in anything um in this form factor or size or weight
