83.8% LG Ultra PC 16 (2022) AMD review: This is not a gram. | Notebookcheck
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.

59% LG UltraPC Review: Good Laptop But Gets The Basics Wrong
Source: Think Digit English
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.

LG:

LG Electronics Inc. is a subsidiary of LG Group. It is a South Korean company and was founded as Goldstar Co, Ltd, in 1958. The group offers products in the fields of information technology, consumer electronics and mobile communications, and home appliances. LG Electronics is the world's third largest home appliance manufacturer. As a notebook manufacturer, LG only became known to a wider audience in the German-speaking market in 2005. After a few years, LG largely withdrew from the laptop sector. The product range includes OLED, LED/LCD and plasma TVs, home theater systems, Blu-ray players as well as audio and video players. 


Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

R3 5300U: A mobile quad-core APU with Zen 2 cores clocked at 2.6 to 3.8 GHz and a Vega graphics adapter with 6 CUs clocked at up to 1500 MHz. The Ryzen 3 CPU is very similar to the Ryzen 3 4300U.

AMD Cezanne (Zen 3, Ryzen 5000):

R5 5625U: Mobile six core APU with Zen 3 cores clocked at 2.3 to 4.3 GHz and a Vega graphics adapter with 7 CUs clocked at up to 1800 MHz.

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.
