LG Gram 15 (2022) laptop review: Focused on portability

[Redaktion]

With the LG Gram 15, LG has created a 15-inch laptop that not only excels when it comes to the portability, but also in terms of the battery life. As our review will show, however, the thin form factor comes at the cost of weaker performance.

Wie beim Gram 14 wird die Performance dann allerdings derart eingeschränkt, dass selbst normale HD-Videos zum Ruckeln und Stottern beginnen. Somit ist dieser Modus mehr oder weniger wertlos – schade.

This is the endless shame of the entire x86 industry for years, against the backdrop of Arm, where any modern smartphone, without straining, silently plays YouTube at 4k with consumption several times less.
Hell, if you x86 hardware makers can't make a decent video engine that consumes less than 5W when playing 4k@60fps in VP9/AV1, well, add it to your laptop, under the Arm DSP license, so that it does this kind of processing!
Well, how can a laptop make noise when playing 4k@60fps today from YouTube? Coolers should generally turn off immediately, if there are no other tasks and nothing should lag - the picture on the monitor screen should go as smoothly as on the TV screen, without VSync disruptions.

And for Intel, it's a total shame that TSMC specially reserved for them from the end of 2022 and for the entire 2023 lines under the 3nm process technology, but Intel canceled this reservation itself, because. failed to migrate its cores to the TSMC topology.

It turns out that Intel developers (and AMD too) are already significantly losing to Apple and Qualcomm developers. The world is changing rapidly. And apparently soon we will forget that once on the planet the king of processors was Intel and its eternal shadow AMD...

It's not the video. It's the 100+ JavaScript frameworks that are running alongside it.
You're telling me it never surprised you how a Pentium 4 can play Crysis, yet YouTube will bring it to its knees? Two hints for you: job outsourcing; code quality.

Smartphones also have a JavaScript framework, but for some reason they do not make noise and consume several times less. Intel/AMD disgraced themselves to the fullest. Arm beat them clean with their infamous x86. =)

How can a laptop be focused on portability if it lacks rigidity??
Not only wheight and dimensions roles when you are going to take a laptop with you!
