No that's the same overweight huge charger as last year. There are half as heavy half size 60w chargers out there. The gram max charges at 50w anyhow

But the battery runtime while surfing/video was worse even though it has bigger battery. Can you take out the dgpu? Cause disabling doesn't seem to work usually.. (or maybe if disabled in bios it will?).

Yes read on old forum. Not sure if this now is the most frequented forum for LG Gram

I guess the graphics card itself 10g, battery 35g, heatpipe and second fan 45g. Alternatively graphic card 20g, battery 70g??? As the overall battery weighs 330g for 80wH it I am correct, the 90wh should be around 360-365g. So solution 2 seems unlikely. Or am I wrong on the weight of a mobile graphic card? And both models have the new dual heatpipe? At least the old LG gram 16 usually was 1150g so there are 40g increase for the new model without GPU.. Could be some in between solution, Like both have two heatpipes nie, but GPU Version geht's a Second Fan too. I guess second heatpipe is half the game. Two heatpipes are desperately needed. Two fans. Not soo much as they are besides each other. Would be different with two locations. So far all other laptops tested where H models with 100w cooling or more. They managed up to twice the results on benchmarks. I'm sure P series can be much faster with stronger cooling plus upping the temperature limit to 100 instead of 90. 26-90 is only 64 degree Delta vs the usual 80 (20-100) of laptops tested. That's why there is 10-20 percent higher benchmarks possible for the gram, but for sure other P series will be faster and using more power/battery. That's fine. 35-40w cooling is enough for a huge difference Vs older LG Gram at only tiny weight penalty. It's clear the alder lake P28 needs a bit more performant cooling else the power increase will be much less (maybe 30 percent). Remember 28w should be the base power, and the old cooling solution only managed 22-24w depending on room temperature. So for putting the P series I really want 30-35w cooling capacity (even though I assume the P series will be more efficient than I above 10-15w, while less efficient below, from 30-35w or above the H series will be more efficient due to having more cores)

Deleting the DTS crap makes sound volume louder. For some places I still need third party tools to increase volume however.

https://quasarzone.com/bbs/qc_qsz/views/1266221 Here is the review. Super detailed nearly notebookcheck quality (except no comparison to other notebooks and the missing review on the coating) Edit: strangely the only thing they tested the non GPU model for is battery life. While the GPU model got 13:11 hours application mode, the non GPU model got 13:51 hours. I would want to see the benchmarks or opening up the case to see if the non GPU model has the same cooling solution or not.. the cooling on the GPU model is vastly superior to the old Gram. Note they tested at 26 degrees room temperature. At 20 degrees you would get about 10 percent higher numbers! I guess the screen is semi glare which is perfect, based on the pictures, but it seems identical otherwise to the 2021 model. I guess non GPU i5 would get another hour of battery life, if it's the same with alder lake Vs tiger lake. For sure the i7 is throttling so bad that effectively the i5 is same speed. Even worse should the Double heatpipe only be on the GPU model. The only difference is CPU speed, and the top end will be a few seconds only before throttling, so effectively no need for i7. Oh Yeah, if the battery life test was at 120nits/55percent brightness it is not improved over 2021 but identical.. not sure what the efficiency cores do then except improving multi core performance. This is a bit disappointing to me for alder lake knowing the gram has the most efficient base out there more or less that exists in x86. I have not yet seen any other P alder lake review. In the video there is talk about video editing. I don't understand it though, it's still too slow? That would be quite important to me, the old Gram simply doesn't cut 4k videos in Adobe Premiere. Otherwise quite surely we can soon find the new panel for 250 USD or so to buy and upgrade in the 2021 gram.it should be compatible without problems. Yes expensive but best solution to anti glare.

There is already a Korean very detailed review out. The changes are not ending there. The version with graphic cards gets a 90wH battery, dual heatpipe and dual vent. It is 95g heavier. Sadly they do not say anything about the type of coating, and the screen is only 330nits average. Battery life no comparison to older model. The performance is up about 80 percent on multicore. 3450 cinebench r20. Actually that review is the very first review I can find for any alder lake P processor! You can surely again ditch the i7 and go for the i5 at same performance multi core and slight degradation single core. If you get no GPU I expect performance to be way worse as I would expect the old heatpipe because weight didn't change. I cannot find that review anymore. Maybe it was pulled because not supposed to be published already? Well besides the screen I think LG did everything right. Needs confirmation that the non GPU model sticks with old cooling, but essentially the new cooling was enough for 55watts sustained GPU and CPU power. So twice the old cooling, while still being super silent and off for surfing the web, or idle . The quiet mode turned out more performant than the normal mode. Performance mode is needed for real proper numbers as in quiet / normal the processor would throttle already around 70 degrees instead of 90 for performance mode. I hope the screen was pre production, but the panel number was new with a 2 Vs the old LG gram so unlikely. If they included a 500 nits anti glare panel with 90wH battery with new heatpipe, but without GPU I would instantly order to upgrade
