Product Manuals

Product Datasheet/Brochure

Q: Is this the latest version of the LG 17 or is this the older model? Please clarify. Thanks.

A: This machine is often confused with the Gram 17 series. #This machine is made of aluminium and hence sturdy, heavier and stronger while the Gram is made of a Magnesium alloy. #These have a built in graphic card and good for gaming and heavy processing while Gram have no discrete graphics. #Both have same 72whr good battery life & awesome retina display. #The gram have Thunderbolt feature along with Finger print reader while the UltraPC 17U70N does not. #The keyboard & trackpad & internal speakers are design flaws in both the models.They will not make you happy but you can live with them. #The 17U70N has an ethernet port and 2 physical DDR4 slots which can upgrade upto 64gb, while the gram has 8GB built in Ram and a single slot of DDR4 ram available to upgrade. #Both machines have 2 NVME SSD slots & the Wifi card cannot be upgraded.The 17U70N has 802.11ax/Wifi6+BT5.0 while the 2018 17z990 has 802.11ac/WiFi5+BT4.0. #The gram series is expensive and good only for light media consumption and office work.The 17U70N has 2 fans and built in DDR5 graphics card.

LG Gram smoked by LG Ultra
I had long wanted the LG Gram 17" laptop, but this opportunity presented itself and I went for it. It has surpassed my expectations and I am very happy with it. Its fast, responds quickly and i am able to run some pretty heavy programs simultaneously with no noticeable drain on the CPU. Of course as all reviews mention, the keyboard is lack lustre. Though it doesnt diminish the overall product.

Perfection missed by " " much
Setup: Setup is easy, from turn on, the initial setup was rather painless, despite Microsoft’s use of linking the user accounts to Hotmail/live accounts. I prefer off-line accounts, but once the initial setup is complete, one can change the accounts to off-line accounts. The overall setup process is fast. The windows 10 home experience is good but I eventually upgraded to Windows 10 Pro as I needed the additional features for WSL2. It took less than 7 minutes from the time of turning on to logging into the computer. Design / Internals / Externals: The less than 4.5 lbs (measured at 4.4 lbs) aluminum body laptop features a 17 “ screen with an Intel 10th generation Core i5-10210U, 4 core 8 thread, Comet Lake CPU, featuring a base clock of 1.6 GHz, and a max clock of 4.2 GHz. The CPU features a 15W TDP (Thermal Design Power), which gives it its power-sipping features. The laptop comes with 16 GB of DDR4 ram and a 512 GB Samsung NVMe SSD. The laptop features two USB 3.0, one USB C, one USB 2.0, Full Size HDMI Out, Bluetooth 5.0, Webcam, a Gigabit Ethernet, 802.11ax Wifi 6, and a MicroSD card reader. The shipping box is sparse, with a power brick, power cord, and not much else. The CPU features the Intel UHD graphics onboard which is plenty for basic applications and more. The crowning piece of this version of the LG Gram is the included Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 video card with 4gb of DDR5 memory. This allows for the laptop to perform various 3D calculations and can be used by apps that can leverage the 3D abilities including Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe Lightroom, Blender, Sketchup, Autocad, etc. You can even use this to play games. The laptop features a 17”, 16:10 format 2560x1600 resolution IPS screen. There is no other word to describe it but “Gorgeous”. It’s so clear, bright, and oh it is reflective gloss. But apart from the gloss screen, which really isn’t a bother when the screen brightness overpowers in most situations. The screen is color accurate and clear across the entire screen. The screen allows you to open multiple windows side-by-side for better productivity. Performance Evaluation: For evaluating the performance of the CPU and thermal throttling, I put this laptop through various challenges and monitored it with OpenHardwareMonitor. At idle, the CPU temps stay around a comfortable 35C which is very comfortable for use without a cooling pad and for general purpose use. However, any sort of intense calculations or extended high CPU use (in my case large excel sheets calculations, running of MySQL queries and compiling programs in Visual Studio), the temperature shoots up and the fan kicks on. I noticed while running Prime95, the CPU speed never went past 2.5ghz and CPU stayed at 80% of max processing for the period of 4 hours, it seems the CPU was throttling itself and never got to the higher speeds or temps. I did play a 15-round session (against bots) of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Just to evaluate its gaming credentials. Gaming was fantastic, fluid, and absolutely fun. However, if you use the laptop on a hard surface as I did, even at 1080p resolution (vs. 2560x1600), the CPU and GPU temperatures shot up to an ungodly 91C (for the CPU) and 81C (for the GPU) after one gaming session, and the fans were whining real loud. The heat was streaming off the keyboard, I could feel it through the keys, and the top of the laptop by the function keys was hot enough to burn you. That said the only way you can use this laptop for gaming is to use a cooling pad. The design for cooling the CPU are vents located on the bottom and any help given to the laptop in terms of unrestricted airflow helps keep the laptop cool. I have been gaming with a cooling pad, and it has fared better, overall temperatures were down 20-25C from the highs without a cooling pad. This made it more comfortable to use, fan noise is loud but not excessive. Overall Impression: I like this laptop very much, this is my new road warrior, despite the fact that I have a love-hate relationship with the keyboard and its layout. I have other 17” laptops from other brands, and they are bulky, so this one wins that count. However, the keyboard is my one sore spot, because I do a lot of excel/keypad/directional control use, and that is my only downside. May not be for you, but for me sure is. The part of the keyboard for typing is so-so, the feel could be better, I use a lot more pressure to type, however, it’s accurate, and as a touch typist, it works well. Maybe my other laptops use lighter force in typing. That said, I will be using this more, and since I travel a lot normally, this has replaced my previous solution of a light 2-n-1 touch screen laptop, which I will not sorely miss. The screen size on this laptop is so comfortable for everyday use, I don’t know why I never went to a 16:10 at this resolution and size earlier. It’s amazing when you can comfortably run two screens of documents right next to each other and not feel a pinch that you are missing out. If you are looking for pretty much a do it all laptop, this one should be one of your top picks. Do note you can game on it, and the gaming experience is great but you should have sufficient cooling on the bottom with a cooling pad. This laptop would not be acceptable to use on your lap or on a table cloth or anything else that would restrict airflow and frankly, it really needs a cooling pad for general purpose use. Pros * Amazing 16;10 IPS 17” inch screen that looks so good. Low strain, yes it’s reflective, but it’s bright too * Touchpad feel is one of the best I’ve had - smooth, with limited multi-touch. * Bluetooth built-in can use a Bluetooth mouse, saving USB Ports * Superfast Samsung NVME SSD, though no SMART features it seems * Capable of gaming should you want to. * A 72Wh battery can power through most of the workday. LG claims 16 hr battery life, I averaged 6-8 hours without a charge, depending on screen brightness and what you are doing, battery life is going to vary. Cons: * The 10-key number pad is non-standard, not sure why they did not use the other keyboard layouts that are available for the other LG Gram’s. This is SO not comfortable to use. The non-standard placement of decimal “.” and the operation keys make it hard for someone who is used to a standard layout keyboard and does a lot of excel transactions. Once again, the other keyboard layout is better. LG, can I replace the keyboard/face? * No fingerprint sensor on the power button like the other LG Gram models. - the keyboard is springy, and okay, could have a better feel. * No support for Windows Hello via the webcam / no fingerprint sensor * Not a true gaming machine, overheats, will need a cooling pad for daily use even if not doing intense work/gaming - heat comes through the keyboard, the top portion of the laptop hit 91c
