A laptop that you can hardly feel

Anyone looking for a new laptop knows the dilemma: large screens are practical, but heavy. Compact devices are light, but often too small to work with. The LG gram 16 solves this problem in an almost irritating way – it weighs just around 1.36 kilograms, but has a full 16-inch display. For comparison: This corresponds to the weight of only around seven average smartphones.

In the hand it immediately feels different than expected. Lighter. Significantly lighter. But that’s not a cheap plastic feel, but solid workmanship made from a sturdy metal alloy – you’re noticeably holding a high-quality device in your hand that just doesn’t feel as heavy as most of its competitors.

Workmanship: High quality, without ifs and buts

Anyone who has ever held a cheap Ultrabook in their hands knows the slight discomfort when touching it: if you grip it too tightly, something could give way. Things are different with gram 16. The housing feels high-quality, the hinge is tight – and despite the low overall weight, the lid can be easily opened with one hand without the device slipping around on the table. No surprises when closing either: clean, full, without resistance.

Display: Bright, sharp, pleasantly large

The 16-inch screen immediately makes a good impression. The brightness is particularly noticeable – even in a well-lit room, the image remains clear and easy to read without having to squint. Colors appear natural and strong, and the anti-reflective panel ensures that light reflections are hardly disturbing.

The slightly higher aspect ratio gives more space for texts, websites and documents than on many other laptops. Anyone who reads, writes or works with tables a lot will quickly notice this.

Battery: A full day of work, really

LG advertises the gram 16 with up to 25.5 hours of battery life. A number that makes you reflexively skeptical – as we all know, manufacturer information and everyday life are often far apart. What we see in practice is that the battery does what LG promises. The modern processor is designed for efficiency and works economically enough so that the battery lasts a long time in everyday life – but where LG found the space for so much capacity given the weight remains their secret. If you don’t do complex video editing, you can easily get through a long working day with the gram 16 – without a charging cable in your luggage.

Everything important can be connected directly

A practical plus point that you only appreciate when you’ve missed it: The gram 16 has all the important ports built right in – HDMI for the external monitor, USB-A for a mouse or USB stick and a modern high-speed port for accessories and fast charging. So if you’ve had to carry a bunch of adapters with you, you can safely leave them at home.

Conclusion: Light, bright, persistent – ​​and winnable

The LG gram 16 is a laptop for everyone who travels a lot, has long work days ahead of them or simply doesn’t want to lug around a heavy device anymore – without sacrificing a large screen or long battery life. The first impression is convincing: light in the hand, high-quality workmanship, bright display.

And if you don’t want to buy it but want to win it: Here you can win an LG gram 16 – free of charge, uncomplicated, without any terms and conditions in the small print.
