This new LG gram two in one super lightweight laptop and so I didn’t remember the actual model number but I’m gonna throw it up here on the screen here for you so yeah the first thing we need to do is get this thing unboxed so I can use it so let me flip it over and I think I have some tape here and oh yeah let me get close for you there’s one and there’s two and boom there we go Oh I thought we’ll see the laptop but we have this little board right here
What is this you can assemble the pieces like the picture above after cutting them Slide the calendar left and right to match the current month you can use it every year I don’t know what this is but I’m going to take a look at it later and yes I’m gonna get this to the side here and we have the power adapter and this is coming in at what 65 Watts coming in at 65 watts and it does use a USB C cable on the end to be able to plug into one of the USBC ports on this laptop and we also have this stylus pen and slide this out and so yeah this will work with the pin touch compatible display here on this laptop and that’s LG’s kind of line of displays that you can write on to sign contacts draw play
Some games do whatever here so I’ll test that here a little bit later I don’t know what we have under here looks like we have an adapter here USBC to what’s HDMI and so yeah this is nice just in case you want to hook this laptop up to a monitor or a TV to be able to get a bigger screen experience but let me get this out the way and now like I always say it’s time for the star of the show the 16 inch LG gram here and man look already
I can tell you this thing is super light it feels like I’m just kind of holding like a magazine or something super light so let’s get this cover off here if I can do it all right there we go we have some more plastic to remove and oh that’s nice oh that’s satisfying and let me flip it over there’s nothing on the back so we don’t need to take off anything there but yeah look at this man very nice matte black finish here for this laptop and let’s open it up and we have this little kind of screen protector here let me get this thing turned on and while this thing is booting up for the first time you know this is going to take a while let me go ahead and test out the keyboard that keyboard feels good to everything is feeling good on here and I’m assuming this is a backlit keyboard
I think that is correct so the keyboard feels good you have a number pad right here for people who like to Crunch those numbers and then also you have a really big size uh trackpad right here it does support gesture support so you can do those type of things with Windows 11. Oh and as far as the ports on the left-hand side you will find two USB 4 gen 3 Type C ports and these will support a power delivery display port and Thunderbolt 4. then next to those you will find a headphone port and then when you flip
Over to the right-hand side, you will be finding one USB 3.2 Gen 2 type port and then also you will be finding a Micro SD card slot look I’m not going to bore you through the whole setup process and updates and all that stuff but let me go over some of the general specs of this laptop so 16-inch screen coming in with a resolution of 2560 by 1600 and it is a touch screen IPS LCD it does come with Windows 11 home and it is rocking the Intel Evo 12th gen Intel Core i7 1260p 12 core processor it also does have Intel XC graphics and it comes with 16 gigabytes of RAM a two terabyte nvme Gen 4 m.2 SSD so that should be plenty fast and you get Wi-Fi 6C and also a 72-watt hour lithium battery inside of this so look I’m about to use this overnight I’m gonna watch some videos on it and test out this 16-inch screen and then we’re going to come back tomorrow and take it out for a spin all right so if you’re out here the next morning
I bet you weren’t expecting this angle but I’m taking out one of my electric bikes here I’ve been doing some filming while we have a break in the rain and today has been a very foggy day you can see here on the Mississippi River I’m over here by the saint Louis Arch beautiful foggy day but anyway I wanted to bring the laptop out with me because I actually have it in my backpack right now so this is a 16 inch laptop and my backpack is rated for a 15 inch laptop but I was able to make it fit and that’s partly due to the thinness of this laptop because it is only 0.67 inches thick so this thing is thin and then you combine that with the weight of the laptop because it’s all in the name right LG gram so this thing weighs 1.48 grams and that works out to 3.26 pounds so look there are some laptops that weigh less than this right but not that many laptops that I’ve come across that are 16 inch laptops that only weigh this little so it’s pretty impressive that they were able to get everything stuffed inside of here but also keep that thinness and that weight down and actually let me pull over here because
I wanted to uh kind of test out this new bag that I got for my bike and I want to see if the laptop can fit in this so let me get this thing on and yeah this isn’t going to work I just wanted to try it out but this wouldn’t be a great idea unless you have some type of sleeve on the laptop to protect it but yeah it’s just too tall but anyway it was worth a shot and all right so let me sit down for a second I’m getting old people I’m getting old but yeah I like the fact that this laptop does have Windows hello so when I open it up and I go to log in it can just use facial recognition to log me in without having to enter in my passcode or anything and as I said it before in the unboxing this does come with Windows 11 home which I like this operating system it’s Sleek it’s kind of simplified it’s fast and then also
I love the way that you can manage your open windows so you can drag a window up towards the top of the screen they’ll give you some options as far as how you can have it laid out on the screen and then if you want to add multiple apps you can go ahead and organize it that way too oh and last night after I unboxed this I did watch some YouTube videos and also some Netflix videos on this and I have to tell you I like the screen so it comes in at 300 nits which are going to be plenty bright for indoors but also outside I do have a little bit of backlight behind me it’s not the ideal situation but the screen is holding up pretty well but
I like the colors and I like the kind of clarity of the screen when I was watching YouTube videos and stuff the screen is also made out of Gorilla Glass 7 so you know normal use should be fine if you drop it I’m not going to tell you it’s not going to break but it definitely is going to have some durability with it, oh and I did mess around with the stylus a little bit last night and I have to say for a bundled stylus that comes with the laptop sometimes they can suck but this one was pretty responsive I was doing some kind of paintwork or just drawing I’m not going to call it to paint but I was just you know scribbling on the screen and it seemed to be very accurate and responsive and also
I use it to play some Solitaire on this thing and also to navigate the operating system as well so it’s pretty fun especially because this is a touch screen but I don’t always like to use my fingers because it gets fingerprints on the screen so having this stylus to be able to use is fun to use and especially if you want to use it for signing contracts and doing work or taking down notes when you are in class in college or something it’s going to be good for that but one thing on my wish list for the next version of this laptop would be one way to be able it’s a magnetic store or attaches the stylus to the laptop so you always have it with you right now you just have to remember to throw it in the back with you when you are ready to leave and look I’m not going to lie to you I’m able to see my hairline in the display of this camera and I was like a man
I need to get a haircut and I almost forgot that I have a haircut in about an hour right now so let me go ahead and pack up and get on my way back home get in the car and go get that done because I need it oh [Music] all right I’m running late but oh hey Kitty how you doing sorry oh hey I don’t have any food sorry all right so I just left the barber shop and my barber did his best with my hairline here we got a garbage truck over there picking up trash but I thought this would be a good opportunity to test out the built-in webcam which camera cord video up to 1080p at 30 frames per second and I think it can take like two-megapixel photos if you want but yeah this is how the webcam looks and also I’m using the built-in microphone so yeah if you want to use this for Zoom calls stuff like that I think the video quality from what I can see looks good foreign because it is still a rainy mess outside but we’re right under 24 hours and
So I wanted to show you one last thing here and that’s the fact that this does run Amazon Alexa and it’s probably going to hear me say Alexa yeah it did uh what’s the weather today might as well do a demo there are 47 degrees Fahrenheit with rain tonight you can look for clouds and showers with a low of 34 degrees okay all right so that’s how it works so this is going to be great if you have a bunch of other Alexa enabled devices you can control your license go and close this man you can control your lights your refrigerator different things that do run Amazon Alexa
So I love that being built to end but if you still want to use the original assistant Cortana you can still do that if you want and so with that wraps up my 24 hours here with the LG grams so look there are some other laptops that have beefier GPUs and RGB lights and stuff all over the place and those things are cool but this one is a laptop’s laptops right it definitely gets the basics done right and I think when you look at something that’s going to be portable it’s not going to weigh you down when you are traveling with it in your bag but still has the performance for those everyday tasks and getting things done or watching some videos or movies or whatever this laptop really kind of checks all of the boxes but the big thing is just how lightweight this thing is and it really doesn’t weigh anywhere near as other 16 inch laptops out there so they did a great job with the build quality of this
