It has a PassMark benchmark score of 10494 on the day of this post release. 16GB DDR4 SDRAM at 3200MHz should be adequate for most computer users’ multitasking needs to run several apps, browsers and programs at the same time. 1TB SSD is good for snappy performance and plenty of storage size for you to save all your standard or multimedia files. Windows 10 Home 64-bit is pre-installed on this laptop with the older familiar and brand new features.
The typical TDP- Thermal Design Power is 15 watts for the i7-1065G7 processor. And the 80WH 2-cell lithium ion battery lasts up to 17 hours on average and this will vary depending on what you use the computer for and power management settings. But generally speaking you can be out and about all day and evening and you will still have battery left. There is no optical drive and the modern connectivity options include the 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 wireless, Bluetooth 5.0, 3 x USB 3.0 ports, a USB 3.1 Type-C port, 10/100Mbit RJ45 Ethernet, an HDMI output, a Headphone Out, Micro-SD Card Reader, and DC-In.
Very large 17″ WQXGA screen has the 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution and IPS panel with the 178-degree viewing angles. This is not a gaming machine with an advanced dedicated card and the built-in graphics card is the Iris Plus G7 that is much faster than the previous version G7 and also slightly better than the AMD RX Vega 10 GPU. It can be thought of as an entry level dedicated CPU at a similar level to the NVIDIA MX150. Therefore you can play the not so demanding games like the Rocket League or Fortnite at lower settings and resolutions. There is a good quality HD webcam on the top bezel for your live business conferences or casual chats with colleagues.
Despite a huge screen size the computer is still slim, lightweight and portable for you to take wherever you go. It weighs less than 3 pounds and with the very long battery life you can use it on the go for work without needing to recharge tillthe night. Dark silver LG Gram 17Z90N-R.AAS9U1 weighs 2.98 pounds and measures 15 x 10.3 x 0.7 inches. You have the fingerprint reader for security and easy sign-in and a backlit keyboard for typing comfortably in the dark. You can set up the fingerprint reader to more than one user. It has a very sturdy magnesium alloy chassis built to the MIL-STD 810G standard.
The maximum memory this LG Gram supports is 24GB and you can swap one of the 8GB sticks with a 16GB once. It is a very quick computer with pretty much everything and you will not have any problems with the PhotoShop or other complex software. The trackpad on the backlit keyboard is quite responsive- works very well. The screen is a bit glossy but you can always cover it with an anti-glare screen protector. It is probably the lightest 17″ laptop out there and this adds to the price if you find it a little expensive. As long as you are not buying it for gaming purposes, it will be almost perfect in every other way if you have the budget for it. It comes with a one-year limited warranty for parts and labor. And you will get a free Amazon technical support with your purchase. Signature is needed upon delivery because of the high value of this product.
