LG Gram SuperSlim (2023) review: 990 gram laptop with long battery life and OLED display
"Even lighter and slimmer," announces the slogan of the LG Gram SuperSlim. The newest model of the ultracompact Gram series represents one of the lightest (990 g, 2.18 lb) and slimmest (≤ 12,55 mm, ~0.49 in) 15.6-inch laptops on the market. It even beats its already slim and light siblings in terms of thickness and weight. The hardware is at the current level: PCIe 4, LPDDR5, OLED, and Thunderbolt 4, with a Raptor Lake processor running the laptop.
Our database doesn't include any direct competitors, since comparable laptops are usually more affordable and/or bring more weight to the scale. The expanded range of competitors include devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 14, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon G11, the Acer Swift Edge SFE16-42, and the Apple MacBook Air 15.

Case - Slim magnesium case
The dark blue (Neptune Blue) case of the Gram is made from a magnesium alloy, with LG using smooth and matte surfaces. The laptop doesn't have any design features that stand out. While it resembles the usual Gram models, its corners are slightly more rounded. The battery, which is screwed and not glued, and the rest of the insides are accessible after removing the bottom of the case.
The laptop doesn't show any faults in the workmanship. The gaps are even, and there are no noticeable material protrusions. The base unit and, even more so, the lid can be warped. The hinges hold the lid tightly in place, with a maximum opening angle of about 130 degrees. The lid can be opened using a single hand.
Within our comparison field, the Gram is the lightest laptop at a weight of 990 grams (~2.18 lb). In terms of the thickness (between 10.99 and 12.55 mm without the feet, ~0.43 - 0.49 in), the competitors range within similar levels. We are able to confirm the values specified by LG, measuring a weight of 988 grams (2.178 lb) on our scale.
Equipment - The Gram offers Thunderbolt 4
The types of connections are very reduced, consisting of an audio-combo port and three USB-C ports (2x Thunderbolt 4/USB 4, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2). This means that many external devices such as a monitor cannot be used without a docking solution or corresponding adapter. A positive point is that all three USB-C ports support Power Delivery and are able to output a DisplayPort signal - we tested this.
The connections are placed in the back area on the left and right sides, leaving the areas next to the palm rests free from any potential cables.
Communication
Under optimal conditions without any other WLAN devices nearby and a close distance between the laptop and server PC, the LG laptop reaches excellent WiFi data rates. The laptop uses an Intel AX211 WiFi 6E chip but doesn't offer an Ethernet port.
Webcam
In terms of its quality, the webcam (2.1 MP, max. 1,920 x 1,080 pixels) is unable to differentiate itself from the competitors. However, at a deviation of 6 (with a target ≤ 3), the color accuracy can be called decent, with the competitors offering worse values. The camera doesn't offer a mechanical shutter.
Accessories
Aside from the usual documents (with warranty information and the quick-start instructions), the laptop doesn't include any additional accessories.
Maintenance
To access the hardware, you have to remove the bottom of the case. Some of the screws that have to be removed are covered by glued-on platelets (see picture), and some additional screws are hidden underneath the four rubber feet (stuck on, not glued). After removing all the screws, you need to carefully (!) loosen the bottom of the case - it is delicate and could otherwise be damaged. To do that, a flat prying tool would be useful. After removing the bottom, you get access to the SSD (PCIe 4, M.2 2280), the second SSD slot (PCIe 4, M.2 2280), the fan, the speakers, and the battery.
Warranty
LG offers a two-year warranty for the 15.6-inch laptop in Germany. To expand the warranty to five years would cost a one-time fee of 159 Euros (~$175; or 4.29 Euros, ~$4.73 monthly).
Input Devices - LG laptop with keyboard illumination
Keyboard
The illuminated chiclet keyboard includes a number block that only offers three instead of the usual four columns. The smooth and flat keys offer a short stroke and clear pressure point. The key resistance is okay. Even though the keyboard has some slight bounce while typing, this didn't turn out to create any hindrance. Overall, LG delivers a keyboard suitable for everyday typing tasks here.
Touchpad
A ClickPad (~11.1 x 7 cm, ~4.37 x 2.76 in) whose smooth surface facilitates sliding of the fingers serves as the mouse replacement. It offers a short stroke and clear pressure point.
Display - OLED panel with DCI-P3 and AdobeRGB coverage
The 15.6-inch display with a 1,920 x 1,080 pixel resolution in the 16:9 format offers an OLED-typical, excellent black value and short response times. The brightness exceeds the target of > 300 cd/m². An anti-glare coating ensures reduced reflections.

* ... smaller is better
In the state of delivery, the display offers a good color reproduction, and with a deviation of around 2.2, the target value of DeltaE < 3 is met. An additional calibration doesn't offer any further improvements. All the important color spaces (AdobeRGB, sRGB, and DisplayP3) are reproduced almost completely, so color accuracy is a given.

Performance - The 15Z90RT is run by Raptor Lake
With the Gram SuperSlim, LG offers a highly mobile office laptop for private and business users. The laptop delivers sufficient computing performance for office and Internet applications, as well as less demanding games. The model of our test unit is available for about 1,600 Euros (~$1,763). Other models are not available at the time of this test.
Test Conditions
The Notebook offers four manufacturer specific cooling modes (see table) that affect the cooling, noise level, and power limits. You can switch between the modes using either the "Fn" + "Q" key combination or the LG Smart Assistant, which is the control center of the laptop. We used the "Normal" cooling mode during our testing.
| High | Normal | Low | Silent | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power Limit 1 (HWInfo) | 28 Watt | 26 Watt | 12 Watt | 8 Watt |
| Power Limit 2 (HWInfo) | 43 Watt | 43 Watt | 43 Watt | 43 Watt |
Processor
The Raptor Lake Core i7-1360P processor consists of four performance cores (hyperthreading, 2.2 to 5 GHz) and eight efficiency cores (no hyperthreading, 1.6 to 3.7 GHz), resulting in a total of 16 logical CPU cores.
The benchmarks deliver results that are below the average of the CPU we've seen so far. Selecting the "High" cooling mode results in a performance increase that is limited at best. The more relevant single-thread performance is reduced in battery operation (164 points), while the multithread performance remains at the same level as in mains operation (1,623 points).
The CB15 loop test shows that constant multithread load leads to a Turbo speed reduction in each additional run and to some variations. Selecting the "High" cooling mode helps a little here: From the first to the seventh run, the speed drops but then levels out at a relatively constant level.

System Performance
The smoothly running system delivers sufficient performance for office and Internet applications, as well as less demanding games (low settings). However, the laptop isn't designed for constant high load. The transfer rates of the working memory (LPDDR5-6000) remain below the potential of the modules. The memory cannot be expanded.
