Interesting feedback from 2022 Gram owners. 2021 version with Tiger Lake is both cool and quiet.
-
I also prefer the sharpness of glossy screen when compared to the matte texture, as far a sun shining is considered I am in India and the sun shines with fire and fury here most of the year. I was dreading the keyboard before getting the laptop but now I love it. I am just happy disabling it and using it as big arrow buttons and page up , page down, Home, End buttons. Very useful as those dedicated buttons have disappeared in most of the consumer line laptops and also the arrow buttons have gotten slimmer and smaller over the years. So, what is your final storage capacity after all the SSD upgrades?

How is the pricing for 4G and how many GBs of data do you use every month?
-
Nope, still using Windows 10. There are no benefits of using Windows 11 for my use case instead there are regressions. I am also liking the fact that Windows 10 is limited to just security updates with no more big feature updates which break things.
-
Same here, I do not like matte finish. I have the 2021 Gram 16, so will use it for few more years. The screen is exactly the same, we can expect mini led HDR screen with 1000 nits brightness and hundreds of zones within a couple of years and that will be a proper upgrade. Like sticking with Windows 10 too.

The Anti-glare coating looks like proper matte finish and there is that matte screen look to it which some may not like. What do you say @hfm
-
Hi skipper, nice to see you here. Do post pictures of the comparison between the two screens. I will say wait another generation or two before upgrading, the screen is exactly the same apart from anti-glare coating. We can expect mini led HDR screen with 1000 nits brightness and hundreds of zones within a couple of years and that will be a proper upgrade.

I have also limited charging to 80% but no such bug on my Gram 2021.
-
You can buy Anker chargers, good quality and they follow all the standards. Just search "anker 65w" on Amazon and you will get many options.

I have disabled modern standby and Enabled Legacy S3 Standby. A lot of this information was already discussed on the NBR forum threads: https://www.nbrchive.net/xfa/lg.29/Advanced LG Gram 2021 tweaking/page2.html @Steerpike Uninstall Mcafee using Revo uninstaller and use Kaspersky Free or Bitdefender free instead.
-
Do post the comparison pics between the two screens whenever you get the 2022 version. Should be available within a month or two in USA. Also compare the clarity difference between the glossy and anti-glare screen.
-
No, the charger is not the same. This is a much smaller charger when compared to last year. 2021 charger vs 2022 charger:
-
Some more new things in the Gram 2022 which I noticed from the qasarzone review: 1. The charger is smaller now, more like a smartphone charger. 2. The camera has seen massive upgrade, Full HD resolution and addition of an IR sensor which helps in proper face unlock and many more AI based functions like laptop recognising if you are looking at the screen or not. 3. The useless small foot in the middle of the two big feet has been replaced by a proper anti-slip strip/pad which is useful as it goes across the entire laptop. 4. LG has created a new software called "LG Smart Assistant" to add and control several new functions: i) All the functions which are already available in older Grams. ii) Select various modes like cinema mode to watch movies. iii) Out of Office Auto Screen Off is a function that detects your location through webcam and IR sensor and turns off the screen when you are away. iv) The display colour temperature setup has an auto-setup functionality along with the manual warm and cool slider. 5. New LG Glance software has all these features: Presence Detection: When the user is out of the camera's field of view, the screen is automatically locked. Snap Window: (When an external monitor is connected) If you turn your face to another screen while the title bar of the window you want to move is selected, it moves the selected window to the monitor staring at you. Move the mouse cursor (Smart Pointer): (When an external monitor is connected) Moves the mouse cursor to the monitor the user is looking at by turning his or her face. Non-gazing screen auto-blur (Smart Display): Non- gazing screens are auto-blurred to reduce exposure to others. Auto-blur when others are looking at your screen (Privacy Guard): Blur your laptop screen when others are looking at your screen from behind. Privacy Alert when someone else looks at the screen: When someone stares at the screen behind you, it detects it and displays a warning alert. Auto Pause Media When Absent (Smart Player): Automatically pauses media when you leave your seat while playing media. When you come back, you can watch it again. Health notification function (Digital Wellness) - 20-20-20 Reminder: To protect your eyesight, you will be reminded to look away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes. - Posture Alert: When you bend towards the screen and your face is close to the screen, it detects it and notifies you to take the correct posture. Video Conferencing - Simultaneous transmission of presentation material and presenter (Virtual Presenter): During a video conference, the presenter's face is displayed along with the presentation material. - Auto Mute when away from the screen: Automatically mutes the microphone when the user moves away from the screen. - Speak while muted (Mute Warning): Alerts you when you speak while muted. - AI Virtual Camera Effect (Virtual Camera): Makes people stand out or blurs the background during video conferencing, and automatically adjusts the camera frame according to the position of the person

Nope, the Q name is accurate and The 2022 LG Gram model names are 17Z90Q, 16Z90Q and 14Z90Q. You will get these in stock in USA within a month or two.
-
No, the 2022 LG Gram is different: anti-glare screen, different CPU generation, different cooling system etc. The 2022 names are 17Z90Q, 16Z90Q etc Nope, my phone charger does not output 20V, it has two modes 5V-3A and 9V-2A. Both of these qualify for the USB PD (Power Delivery) standard.
-
@John Ratsey The LG Gram charger is the same all over the world, they have changed it for the 2022 Gram which is similar in size to a phone charger. When connecting a lower power charger there is a small message/pop up indicating that a low power charger is connected but there are no issues. I have used my phone's 18 watt charger while torrenting and it worked fine with no battery usage.

Hey @extremecarver long time no see. How did you come across this forum? Did you read the old forum messages before closure or from somewhere else?

Usually there are two types of coatings, one is proper matte coating which I hate as it makes everything grainy but matte coating is necessary for people who work outside. There is a second type of anti-glare coating which retains the glossy look but cuts back on the reflections, In TV industry we can see Samsung having this and in laptops we have the 4k OLED display of Dell XPS 15 with this type of coating. I like this type of coating as it retains 95% of clarity while massively cutting down on reflections, currently the LG Gram is so glossy that even the lights in home or office environment makes it a reflection heaven.

introduction Microsoft Office - Free Alternatives
RS4 replied to cucubits's topic in General Software
OnlyOffice, Free and Open source and very good compatibility with MS Office files, nice user interface too. Link: https://www.onlyoffice.com/desktop.aspx -
From what I have noticed the sound volume is slightly higher after the update, nice to see LG improving the products with updates.
-
The biggest change is LG adding anti-glare coating to the display, would love to get that display but I bought mine just six months back and will have to use it for few more years before upgrading.
-
Updated everything, no problems. Looks like LG does proper testing before release, all the past updates have also been stable, many notebook manufacturers introduce new bugs via updates.

Security updates and patches for Windows 10 will be available till 2031 and beyond. Even Windows 7 will keep getting ESU updates till October 8, 2024, normal consumers can get these updates via Simplix: https://forum-oszone-net.translate.goog/thread-257198.html?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=nl https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/simplix-pack-to-update-live-win7-system-integrate-hotfixes-into-win7-distribution.45005/

The LG update centre has two sections: Required and All list. The required section generates notifications and asks you to update whereas the All list keeps it optional. I am wondering should I update some of these apps listed in the All section. I am thinking about leaving intel smart sound, it was never installed and is a new thing which can mess things up. LG stuff should be safe but what about updated DTS driver/app, can anyone check what version they are using? @John Ratsey @hfm @goldfrapp0x0309
