REVIEW
small and the layout is US. At this price it’s no surprise
that the keyboard is backlit and you can choose from
two different levels of brightness.
Moving onto the trackpad which is the same as
before, so it’s a reasonable size, suitably responsive and
supports multi-finger gestures. It’s decent and we’re
pleased LG has fixed the issue we had before where the
trackpad would often confuse two-finger scrolling for
zooming – especially annoying when browsing the web.
Display
The display is one area that hasn’t had an upgrade, so
if you have last year’s gram 15 then the experience is
going to stay the same.
It’s a decent screen and this model is 15.6in,
despite the laptop being compact and insanely light
as we’ve detailed. It’s still Full HD (1920x1080, 141ppi)
and although you might want 4K at this price, it’s not
massively needed and will only drain the battery faster.
The display is an IPS panel
so offers good viewing angles
and whatever you’re doing on
the gram 15 looks crisp and
colourful. It’s also touch sensitive
which we find more useful on a
laptop these days, especially
for scrolling – the
feature just
isn’t ideal here
with the bendy lid.
There are only really a
couple of small downsides
