It is called an Ultra PC and is cheaper than a gram. This 16-inch laptop has a longer battery life than the already long-lasting Intel-based LG gram. What's more, the device only needs a 72 Wh battery (rather than 80 Wh) to achieve this level of battery life. At 400 g heavier, the Ultra PC is admittedly not quite a "gram", but it is still a respectable piece of hardware no less.

This LG UltraPC Review reveals that the LG laptop is a blend of commendable strengths interspersed with perplexing oversights. It shines with its sturdy build quality, luxurious design, and impressive keyboard-touchpad duo, making it a standout in the design and build quality. Its 512GB SSD and the 16GB LPDDR4X RAM certainly pack a punch, delivering fast and reliable performance for most tasks. The battery life is another feather in its cap, thanks to the efficient AMD Ryzen 5 chip and a sizable battery. However, it’s impossible to overlook the puzzling choices LG made. The trackpad’s uneven finish, the absence of a keyboard backlight in an age where it’s considered standard, and a screen that misses the mark in color accuracy are all blemishes on an otherwise solid machine. Additionally, its choice of processor and memory technology feels dated.

16.00:
This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

71.4%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
