LG Gram Style 14 laptop review: Elegant, fast and (too) hot

This ultra-thin laptop from LG weighs less than 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds), but is equipped with an Intel Core i7-1360P, 32 GB of working memory, and an OLED display. In addition to performance, the Gram Style has several other advantages. What impressed me most was the different rainbow colors of light that radiate from the surface of the case. With a few odd exceptions, the laptop runs completely silently. The LG Gram Style 14 is all about portability. Its light weight, ultra-compact body, 14-inch display, and long battery life allow it to do just that. With an Intel Raptor Lake P-series i5 or i7 processor, you won’t experience any slowdown in computing performance. The rest of the device also meets high-end requirements: a 3K OLED display, high-quality input devices, and large and fast storage.

What stands out is the color scheme across the palm rest and display lid. This is by no means ordinary; depending on the angle of the light, it changes its appearance into a myriad of color facets. Meanwhile, thanks to the passive mode, the laptop also manages to remain incredibly thin and light – a feature only offered by a similarly powerful device: the Apple MacBook Air 15 M2.

Competitors with similar mobility and speed include the HP Dragonfly G4 and the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 14, both with the same display. In our tests, you’ll see what makes the competition better, why the LG Gram Style performs better, and why it can’t be made completely silent. Camera

The Full HD webcam is perfect for video calls and the image quality is satisfactory. The camera is particularly successful, delivering clearly readable recordings even in low light. However, you should not wear black, as it gives the phone an extreme green tint, at least in our test device.

Additionally, it is equipped with an infrared camera, supports facial recognition, and has no mechanical lens cover.

The microphone is suitable for its intended purpose. You can easily and clearly record voice with uniform volume even at different distances to the speaker and speaking angles. A slight metallic sound does not interfere with video calls at least. The built-in battery and fan are easily removable. You can also replace or expand the two M.2 NVMe SSDs. It works with one 2 TB SSD, which makes it easy to expand the storage. At the same time, the two SSDs installed in parallel can also be used for permanent backup of the system. The WLAN module and RAM are soldered, which is not surprising given the slim case. life of the LG Gram Style 14 Battery life isn’t as good as you’d expect from a large 72Wh battery, due to slightly higher power draw at idle, but 10 hours of battery life in video tests and over 11 hours browsing a variety of demanding websites is still good in real life. This means you can easily use the Gram Style 14 all day on the go without having to hunt for a power outlet.

Meanwhile, for example, the HP Dragonfly G4 has a slightly smaller HP Dragonfly G4 battery and a slightly weaker CPU, but it lasts 4 hours longer. With a few more refinements, the LG laptop could have taken the top spot here, but this is a missed opportunity.

The display hinge seems a bit too thin. The LG Gram is lighter, but the hinge area is larger, which makes the folding mechanism more stable. Energy consumption

The low power limitations of the i7-1360P in the LG Gram Style 14 are especially noticeable under load: it consumes an average of 40 watts of power. The Huawei MateBook X Pro with the same CPU consumes 20 watts more. A 65-watt charger with USB-C connection is more than enough for any scenario.

Power consumption at minimum load seems a little high, but many similarly well-equipped ultra-thin laptops perform better in this regard.
