Laptops are boring. There, I’ve stated it. It is because again in 2020, Apple launched the perfect laptop computer ever made – the MacBook Air (M1, 2020), and even two years later, it hasn’t been crushed… till now (possibly).
The LG Gram 14 has simply been introduced, and it’s the primary time I’ve been excited a few laptop computer for some time. If LG nails it, this can be the laptop computer that convinces me to lastly ditch the MacBook Air. I’ll even cease annoying everybody by telling them to purchase Apple’s skinny and light-weight laptop computer. I by no means thought I’d be a type of individuals who bang on about Apple merchandise, however annoyingly the fruit-themed firm went and made a superb laptop computer.
So, why am I so excited concerning the LG Gram 14? Through the years, I’ve reviewed a number of LG Gram laptops, and I’ve all the time been impressed by how mild they’re. Whereas utilizing the LG Gram 17, I simply couldn’t get my head round how a 17-inch laptop computer may really feel so mild, so each time I picked it up, I used to be stunned. I can’t say that about numerous the laptops I evaluate.
The LG Gram 14 must be even lighter (attributable to being smaller), and I believe 14-inches is the candy spot for the right laptop computer display. I discover 15-inch and above laptops to be too massive to hold round comfortably, and attempting to make use of one on public transport can find yourself being extraordinarily irritating.
In the meantime, 13-inch laptops are much more moveable (and are comfy to make use of on trains and buses), however the display can really feel slightly cramped.
However, 14-inch laptops handle to be simply as moveable, whereas providing a contact extra display actual property that makes them extra comfy to make use of, and 14-inch laptops have gotten ever extra standard.
Evaluation: Doubtlessly the brand new greatest laptop computer?
Not solely does the LG Gram 14 have the potential to be an especially light-weight laptop computer that’s straightforward to hold round and cozy to work on, however based on LG’s web site for the brand new laptop computer (opens in new tab), it’ll be a reasonably formidable performer as properly.
It comes with Home windows 11, in addition to new twelfth era Intel Core processors and LPDDR5 RAM. So, it ought to supply wonderful efficiency, and as an Intel Evo-certified laptop computer, we must also anticipate nearly on the spot wake-up speeds and a battery life longer than 9 hours.
If the LG Gram 14 lives as much as its potential, this might lastly be the laptop computer to knock the MacBook Air off the highest of our greatest laptops record. We’ll hopefully get it in quickly to see if Apple has something to be frightened about.
LG has but to verify a launch date for the Gram 14, aside from saying that it will likely be out within the “second quarter” of 2022, so not too lengthy to attend.
