LG Gram 15 2022: Sleek Design, Lightweight for Ultimate Portability

Upon first encounter with the LG Gram 15 2022, I was immediately struck by its simple yet incredibly slim and lightweight design, true to the 'Gram' ethos in its name. Weighing just 1.14 kg and measuring only 1.75 cm thick, the LG Gram 15 2022 makes it convenient for me to handle or slip into a backpack for on-the-go studying or work without encountering any difficulties or burdens.

Given its inherently slim and lightweight nature, durability is also a crucial aspect that needs attention. Hence, the manufacturer spared no effort in crafting the device with materials like aluminum alloy and magnesium, typically used in aircraft construction. Therefore, when holding the LG Gram 15 2022, I don't feel any heaviness, yet I still sense the sturdiness provided by the device's armor-like casing.

On the back of the LG Gram 15 2022, you'll notice the presence of the 'Gram' logo engraved right at the center, modestly sized yet still eye-catching when viewed from behind. Furthermore, the area surrounding the logo is completely empty, making the 'Gram' branding stand out even more, accompanied by a matte back surface that provides a secure grip while being less prone to fingerprint smudges.

As for the edges of the LG Gram 15 2022, this is where the connectivity ports reside, allowing users to utilize various peripheral devices to optimize their work, including: USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, HDMI port, 2 Thunderbolt 4-supported USB Type-C ports. In my opinion, these ports should suffice for typical usage needs, but if you require more, you can always rely on dedicated USB hubs for assistance.

Upon opening it up, the LG Gram 15 2022 impresses even more with its full-size keyboard system featuring backlighting. With short key travel and spacious key spacing, the keys are easy to operate and rarely lead to mistypes. Additionally, the inclusion of a numeric keypad on the side proves very convenient for numerical data entry tasks.

Beneath the keyboard of the LG Gram 15 2022 lies a moderately sized touchpad, not overly large but still providing a smooth user experience. Its quick response and good sensitivity have earned praise from enthusiasts. Moreover, at the top right corner of the keyboard is a power button integrated with a fingerprint sensor, allowing users to quickly log into the device.

LG Gram 15 2022: Vivid, Sharp Display

When it comes to LG, you immediately think of a conglomerate that owns a plethora of breakthrough display technologies. Naturally, the LG Gram 15 2022, bearing the LG brand, inherits the best display capabilities. Specifically, the LG Gram 15 2022 features a wide 15.6-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) display, which is very common and sufficient to deliver detailed, sharp images to users.

By using the familiar IPS LCD panel, the LG Gram 15 2022's display offers wide viewing angles and color accuracy remains consistent when viewing content from various positions. Furthermore, this panel achieves a maximum brightness of up to 420 nits (as measured by NotebookCheck with the X-Rite i1Pro 2 device), combined with Anti-Glare technology to allow users to easily use the device in places with direct light, such as outdoors or coffee shops.

Additionally, the IPS panel also brings true-to-life color reproduction to the LG Gram 15 2022's display. Specifically, according to tests conducted by NotebookCheck's reviewer with the X-Rite i1Pro 2 device, the LG Gram 15 2022's IPS display achieves 99.5% sRGB color gamut coverage, not only producing true-to-life colors but also ensuring accurate color reproduction and efficient performance for graphic design, 3D design, and more.

Alongside its sleek and lightweight design that defines the brand, the LG Gram 15 2022 also boasts advanced hardware with the Intel Core i5-1240P processor. This chip is composed of 12 processing cores, including 4 high-performance P-Cores and 8 power-efficient E-Cores with a maximum clock speed of up to 4.40 GHz, allowing the device to handle flexible tasks to enhance power efficiency.

To better understand the processing capabilities of the Intel Core i5-1240P on the LG Gram 15 2022, the author of the article on NotebookCheck used PCMark 10 software to benchmark the device's performance, resulting in 4,992 points, a slight improvement over the previous generation LG Gram 15 2021 with Intel Core i7-1165G7 chip scoring only 4,792 points. With its highly praised responsiveness from the previous version, the LG Gram 15 2022 is fully capable of assisting users in performing simple office tasks or advanced entertainment.

Furthermore, the LG Gram 15 2022 is equipped with Intel Xe Graphics, delivering outstanding image processing performance that has received many positive reviews. Therefore, users can use the device for light graphic workloads, such as graphic design, 3D modeling with Blender software, or even play some games at low or medium graphic settings without heavily utilizing hardware resources.

Regarding graphics performance, when benchmarked using 3DMark software at common resolutions, the scores that LG Pixel 15 2022 can achieve are 25,256 points (HD), 4,487 points (Full HD), 1,118 points (2K), indicating that the practical responsiveness of the device is ideally from Full HD resolution downwards. Therefore, when the author experimented with LG Gram 15 2022 with some game titles, we will notice that the frame rates gradually become less stable when operating at high settings, even averaging on titles released from 2018 onwards.

How long can LG Gram 15 2022 battery last?

Despite having an extremely thin and light body that would somewhat affect battery life, LG Gram 15 2022 has been excellently optimized by the manufacturer in terms of interior space to accommodate a sufficiently powerful 80 Wh battery, a figure considered quite 'beefy' in today's context for an ultrabook-style laptop with a compact and lightweight body.

According to tests and evaluations by NotebookCheck's reviewer, when the LG Gram 15 2022 is in standby mode with the lowest brightness and Wi-Fi turned off, the device can last about 23 hours and 4 minutes. Meanwhile, during web browsing tasks with average screen brightness, the device can continuously operate for approximately 11 hours and 56 minutes, but this figure will be shortened to around 2 hours when downloading heavy files with maximum screen brightness.

You might wonder why the LG Gram 15 2022, despite being equipped with power-efficient P-series processors, consumes so much power. This is because when handling heavy file downloads or some other intensive tasks, the system will ramp up the CPU's activity to ensure smooth and stable download streams. Additionally, setting the screen brightness to maximum will require higher input power for the IPS panel to deliver maximum brightness pixels. Therefore, I recommend using the charger alongside heavy tasks to ensure the device operates for long durations, stably, and optimally.

Conclusion

Overall, LG Gram 15 2022 continues to showcase the core strengths of its LG Gram predecessors by not only offering a sleek and lightweight device but also boasting a stable, powerful configuration for users to take it anywhere for work, study, or entertainment. It's truly a noteworthy choice for office workers, students, and learners alike.
