Well, let's smear the piece on the wall.
Let's start with the keyboard, of course - again a mutilated numpad, despite the fact that there is enough space on the case for a full-fledged one. And the arrows, like in legions, can be moved down.
Thus, the laptop cannot be considered convenient for business operations.
Screen:
Despite the high-profile title of OLED, the screen in contrast with only 3900:1 is completely shameful. Recently, in another review of the NB with miniLED backlight IPS, the author wrote that the black level is poor even with a contrast (with multi-zone backlight turned off) of 3500:1+. It turns out here instead of black - gray? =) And this is a complete SHAME for AMOLED panels. The whole point of buying it is simply lost.
Resolution - the real resolution in color is 1.5 times worse than the declared one, which can be clearly seen from the structure of subpixels.
Color rendition - again a complete shame. Despite the alleged coverage of almost 100% DCI-P3, even after hardware calibration, dE is above 4(!), which completely excludes even semi-amateur work with accurate color, not to mention professionals.
The brightness is 2 times less than necessary for a portable device for the streets. Again shame.
Processor/Performance:
It's shameful with an Intel i7 if we evaluate the calculations in the long run, but who will do video editing or calculate something for hours on a laptop weighing 990g, right? More or less on impulse.
But everyone spoils the shameful 16GB of soldered memory instead of at least 32GB (you probably can't solder more even if you want with Raptor, unlike Zen4 Phoenix, where you can probably solder up to 128GB and which is much faster and colder).
For a hefty $2000+ price tag, a buyer can expect a 32GB/4TB SSD.
Ports...again unsuccessfully from LG. Despite the fact that Intel, as its representatives reported at presentations, specifically makes the TB4 controller so that it is convenient for manufacturers to solder 2 ports symmetrically on the left and right, LG soldered both on the left for some reason. There is nothing to say about the lack of key ports for business trips and trips, especially HDMI 2.1. The adapter adds weight and can be simply forgotten or lost on the road...
The two biggest drawbacks for this model are of course the quality of the screen and the keyboard with a broken non-classic numpad. The screen here should be Black IPS from LG with an A-TW polarizer and at least 1800:1 with a semi-matte finish 4k and 120-144Hz (which easily switch to fhd/60Hz when not needed and this work not from psu).
Of course, there are eccentrics with money ready to buy this piece for $2000. There are 8 billion people on the planet (at least they say so officially), but if you look at this model sensibly, the extreme price for it is $1000. There is nothing outstanding in terms of technology and nothing outstanding in terms of ergonomics.
It's time for LG to ditch the Intel stoves and go with the Zen4 Phoenix, soldering at least 64GB of memory and installing at least a 4TB SSD for the price. And of course with a good IPS screen.
