LG continues its computing journey with the Gram series of laptops. In 2023, the manufacturer is releasing a new featherweight 16-inch model, powered by an Intel 13th Gen processor.
LG is not revolutionizing the formula of its Gram series with the 16Z90R, but small improvements here and there make it a successful and interesting PC in more ways than one. It features an ultralight design accompanied by its new mini charger, as well as excellent battery life, making it a perfect choice for mobile users who need a large screen. However, the quality of the latter is not perfect and the performance is slightly lower than that of other models equipped with an equivalent Core i7 processor. A compromise chosen by LG to keep the PC very quiet.
Strong points
- Very silent.
- Ultralight.
- Excellent autonomy.
- Expandable storage.
Weak points
- Perfectible slab.
- Restricted performance of the Core i7.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Samsung Galaxy Book2 Pro 15 ticks almost all the boxes: its impressive chassis makes no compromises, whether on performance or autonomy, and the screen is very well made, with faithful colors and an effective anti-reflective treatment . We simply regret the definition of the panel lower than that of the best laptops on this point.
