LG, the massive electronic company, has finally entered the gaming laptop market, with actually looks like a really nice piece of kit. This company is basically known for making all sorts of electronics like washing machines. fridges, soundbars, and so on. While this company has made plenty of laptops in the past, but this is the first one being labelled as for gaming.
There are a few other specs here that look particularly beneficial for gamers, like the inclusion of DTS:X Ultra support for 3D sound, and the vapor chamber LG is claiming will keep the thing super cool even when working hard. It can come in up to 32GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. But it’s also just a nice looking unit with a potentially solid design. There’s even a fully customizable RGB keyboard, because LG knows who it's marketing to now.
The new gaming laptop from LG is collaborating with the company called "UltraGear" lineup of products, like the LG UltraGear 32GP850-B gaming monitor. What that seems to mean is a great screen, among other cool specs, at least on paper anyway. The 1920x1080 17 inch IPS panel has a 300Hz refresh rate so you should absolutely be able to get good use out of the Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card and 11th Gen Intel Tiger Lake H CPU inside this slim unit.
At 17 inches, LG's advertised 17G90Q model unit is a bit larger than a lot of gaming laptops nowadays. For instance: ROG, Razer, HP OMEN, and so on. This put a tiny bit heavier and thicker than the Razer Blade 15 with likely a similar CPU but a bigger screen and larger 93Wh battery. But that also came with a hefty price tag at £3,500 or $3,000 USD, and with LG not yet telling us how much this new gaming beast will cost, that could sting a bit.
All in all, we should know more about LG's new gaming laptops during the company's CES presentation on January 4th.
