Reviewer verdict
Across 3 YouTube reviews, the LG gram Pro 16Z90TS earns an Index score of 4.6/5, ranking #5 among Laptops. Reviewers most often praise its connectivity, software & operating system, performance, while the most common criticisms concern performance, display.
The gram Pro 16Z90TS is repeatedly praised for its excellent connectivity and cross-device features, with reviewers (13 mentions) highlighting extensive ports, HDMI 2.1, Thunderbolt 4, and the ability to connect and mirror up to 10 iOS or Android devices. Its software and AI capabilities also stand out (12 mentions), with Co-Pilot Plus readiness, LG/Graham hybrid on-device and cloud AI features, photo organization, and device-sync conveniences called out frequently. Reviewers consistently note strong everyday performance (10 mentions) driven by Intel Core Ultra processors and optional RTX graphics or Intel Arc graphics, making it capable for smooth daily use and even some gaming. Lightweight portability and a thin 16-inch design (8 mentions), a bright IPS display with good viewing angles and variable refresh rate (7 mentions), solid build and thermals (7 mentions), and a comfortable keyboard and premium glass trackpad round out the commonly praised aspects.
Criticisms are far fewer but focused: several reviewers (3 mentions) say performance improvements over previous Core Ultra 7 chips are modest and caution it isn’t suited for high-end AAA gaming or full-time 4K video editing. Display critiques are limited but include the absence of an OLED option in some builds (1 mention). A couple of ergonomic and serviceability issues were noted, including slightly short key travel (1 mention), soldered RAM (1 mention), and a bit of flex on the top lid (1 mention). Overall, downsides are specific and less frequently raised than the praised features.
