There’s Tough. And There’s Us.
Stay focused no matter what. LG gram delivers in even the toughest conditions. This laptop passes seven tests for military-grade durability*, including shock, dust, high or low temperature and more. And the frame is crafted with a full-metal body of durable, magnesium alloy — we're talking tough.
* LG gram: MIL-STD-810 standard testing and certification by KOLAS Labs September to November 2020.
** Passed 7 different MIL-STD 810G Tests for durability conducted by an independent laboratory that conforms to U.S. military standards. Compliant with the following methods for MIL-STD-810G: Method 500.6 Low Pressure (Altitude) (Procedure I – Storage and Method and Procedure II - Operation); Method 501.6 High Temperature (Procedure I – Storage and Procedure II - Operation); Method 502.6 Low Temperature (Procedure I – Storage and Procedure II - Operation); Method 509.6 – Salt Fog Test; Method 510.6 - Dust; Method 514.7 – Vibration; Method 516.7 Shock (Procedure II) – Transportation Shock. Device may not perform as tested in all conditions. Test performed in controlled environment. Do not attempt.
Pros: It's the lightest 16" laptop in the world, which is great for me since I like to travel light. The white color looks great for my minimalist style computer desk. I have another laptop with 4k resolution, but the difference compared to this IPS WQXGA one is negligible which was quite surprising. The laptop is completely silent and hasn't had any overheating issues. It has a magnesium-alloy body which makes it flex a little, but I don't think it's a problem and the benefits far outweigh that minor observation. The fingerprint ID is super fast and allows quick logins.
Cons: I took one egg off, because the keyboard layout is ridiculous. LG should not put the numpad keys on a 16" laptop, and if they do then it should be done better. I type ~100WPM and use tons of different keyboards daily with my job, and unfortunately this laptop has one of the only keyboards that I have trouble typing on. All of the keys are offset too far to the left in relation to the trackpad. Separately, I do not think they should include an HDMI port on a $1k+ laptop in 2021. I feel similarly about the older USB ports as well.
Overall Review: LG should make more of these gram laptops in white. I could have bought another gram with an i7 for $50 cheaper, and picked this one with i5 at a higher cost for the color. :(
