Lightweight with power and 20 hours of endurance - LG Gram Pro 16 laptop review
The featherweight champion.
As a long-distance runner with a powerful Core Ultra 7, the LG Gram Pro 16 is a strong companion for traveling. But the laptop also impresses at home and for entertainment with its brilliant sound and picture.Marc Herter, 👁 Marc Herter (translated by Daisy Dickson) Published 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 ...
Verdict
The LG Gram Pro 16Z90TS-G.AU89G fits seamlessly into the tradition of the LG Gram series and embodies the brand's core values: a lightweight, high-quality case and impressive battery life. LG has once again succeeded in developing a laptop that unites portability and productivity.
The manufacturer's choice of a powerful integrated graphics solution (iGPU) instead of a dedicated graphics card may seem unusual at first glance, but it pays off in practice. The laptop's Intel Arc Graphics 140V delivers remarkable performance for everyday tasks and even for some more demanding applications. Its matte IPS screen is a welcome change from the reflective OLED display of its predecessor and offers excellent outdoor readability.
As with most LG Gram laptops, the LG Gram Pro 16Z90TS-G.AU89G focuses on mobility. This means that its computing power may be slightly lower compared to competing products. The laptop's benchmark results confirmed this.
Nevertheless, the LG Gram Pro 16Z90TS-G.AU89G is an excellent laptop for users who are looking for a lightweight, portable device with a long battery life. Its combination of an efficient Lunar Lake processor, a generous 77 Wh battery and a lightweight case makes this laptop an ideal companion for on the go.
Pros
Cons
Price and availability
Currently, the version of the new LG Gram Pro 16 with the Intel Core Ultra 9 is available on LG's online store for a reduced price of $2,099.99.
LG's Gram Pro 16 promises to be a device that is designed for both professional users and demanding everyday users. Its combination of a high-resolution 144 Hz display, Lunar Lake processors, a fast SSD and extensive connectivity inside a feather-light case should provide an exceptional user experience. We last tested a Gram Pro with an RTX 3050. In this case, Intel's Arc Graphics 140V will have to do.
Specifications
Case & connectivity
LG normally doesn't change much of its laptop design between the years. The current LG Gram Pro can only be distinguished from its predecessor in one key detail. Instead of a matte lacquered screen cover, LG has opted for a fresh look with thin-layer lacquer on a brushed magnesium alloy. The USB-C ports on the device and the Wi-Fi module have also been updated.

Sustainability
LG packages the Gram Pro completely plastic-free. A PCF document is not yet available for this device. However, the laptop can be disassembled using standard household tools. There are four Phillips screws under the feet, and the base plate can be easily removed with a plastic card. Its battery and SSD are easy to replace. A second NVMe slot is also on board.
Input devices
Display
While the predecessor model still had an OLED panel, LG has once again opted for an IPS screen in the current device. It features excellent contrast, brightness and color reproduction values, but its response times aren't the best. On the other hand, it doesn't show any signs of the flickering that is typical for OLED displays.

* ... smaller is better
LG uses a D75 white point for the Gram Pro, which corresponds more to daylight in the northern hemisphere. Computer screens are usually more adapted to the D65 white point. So, for our measurements, we set the color temperature in the My-gram application to the typical white point. As a result, the laptop achieved an extremely good color representation with a ΔΕ2000 < 1.

The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 79 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (20.5 ms). | ||

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8320 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Performance
LG relies entirely on Lunar Lake for its new Gram Pro devices. In this case, you can select between the Core Ultra 7 and the Core Ultra 9. Our test device is equipped with the Ultra 7 256V.
Testing conditions
Processor
With the introduction of Lunar Lake, Intel has said goodbye to multithreading for the first time in years. This means that the Core Ultra 7 256V with 4 P and 4 E cores has a total of eight threads. Lunar Lake is more energy-saving than particularly powerful. Nevertheless, the Gram Pro delivers a respectable performance.

Graphics card
The LG Gram Pro 16's integrated Intel Arc Graphics 140V delivered a performance on par with the predecessor model's RTX 3050 in generic benchmarks, but usually remained below this in real-world applications. In direct comparison, the Intel graphics card's potentially larger RAM proved to be an advantage in some applications. Hardware acceleration and broad AI support from OpenVINO round off the overall picture.

Emissions & energy
Noise emissions
The LG Gram Pro 16Z90TS-G.AU89G's cooling system consists of two fans that are barely active during normal office use and therefore work almost silently. Even under load, the laptop stays nice and quiet thanks to various fan profiles. Even under maximum load, the fans reach a noise level of around 43 dB(A), which is bearable.

Temperature
The LG Gram Pro 16Z90TS-G.AU89G showed good temperature management during the stress test. Its case didn't heat up excessively under full load. Only in the area of the hinge, where the fans dissipate the warm air, did we measure increased temperatures. After around 20 minutes in the stress test, we noticed some slight thermal throttling.
(±) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 40.5 °C / 105 F, compared to the average of 36.9 °C / 98 F, ranging from 21.1 to 71 °C for the class Multimedia.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 45 °C / 113 F, compared to the average of 39.2 °C / 103 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 24.5 °C / 76 F, compared to the device average of 31.3 °C / 88 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 26.9 °C / 80.4 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(±) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 28.7 °C / 83.7 F (+1.8 °C / 3.3 F).

Speakers
The LG Gram Pro 16Z90TS-G.AU89G's stereo speakers deliver a surprisingly powerful sound with good bass. However, the treble is somewhat reduced at times, but this can be corrected with an equalizer.
