LG expands its laptop lineup with 14-inch and 16-inch Ultra PCs

LG seems to be on its way after an update to its LG Gram 14 and 16 with Intel’s 12th generation processors. The Korean brand announces its Ultra PCs available, like the Gram, in 14 and 16 inches.

Ultra PCs, however, see their characteristics slightly revised downwards with an IPS screen displaying 1920 x 1200 px in 16:10 format and slightly larger measurements: 35 x 24 x 1.6 cm for 1.6 kg in 16 inches , and 31 x 22 x 1.6 cm for 1.29 kg in 14 inches.

To animate its Ultra PCs, LG relies on AMD Barcelo processors with the Ryzen 3 5400U (Zen2, 4C8T), the Ryzen 5 5625U (Zen3, 6C12T) and the Ryzen 7 5825U (Zen3, 8C16T). These three processors are not equipped with the latest architecture from AMD, but they should be more than sufficient for the office automation/multimedia use for which LG intends its Ultra PCs.

The connections on board the Ultra PC 14 and 16 are complete, with two USB-A 3.2 ports, a micro SD reader, a USB-C port and a jack socket. The manufacturer has, however, retained a proprietary charging port instead of switching to USB-C; the webcam is also from another age with its 720p sensor.

The LG Ultra PCs will be offered equipped with Ryzen 3, Ryzen 5 and Ryzen 7 at prices of 899, 1049 and 1199 € in 14 inches. The 16 inch sees its prices spread out from 949 € to 1249 €.
