The LG gram 16 (2023, i5) is a capable option in the upper mid-range segment, launched in 2023. This laptop prioritizes mobility without sacrificing performance. With an overall GadgetDisc score of 69, it holds its own in a crowded market.
The Intel Core i5-1340P with 12 cores boosting up to 4.6 GHz handles multitasking and everyday workloads with ease. Integrated graphics cover everyday tasks and light creative work, though dedicated gaming is limited. Professional workloads like video editing, 3D rendering, and large dataset processing are a strength of this configuration.
The 16-inch IPS panel delivers 2560×1600 at 60Hz — a reliable choice for productivity and media consumption. The display score of 58 suggests the panel is adequate but not a standout feature.
16GB LPDDR5 at 5200 MT/s of RAM is the modern sweet spot — sufficient for most users including developers, creators, and power users. 512GB of NVMe SSD storage covers the basics, though power users may want to supplement with external drives.
At 1.2kg (2.6 lbs), this laptop is ultralight and measures 17.5mm thin. Battery life offers exceptional all-day battery life (~20hr) backed by a 90Wh cell, keeping you unplugged through long workdays.
Port selection includes Thunderbolt 4, 2× USB-C, 2× USB-A, HDMI 2.0, SD card reader, covering most professional and everyday connection needs. Wireless is handled by Wi-Fi 6E for fast, low-latency wireless and Bluetooth 5.3.
