LG asserts a longer battery life thanks to the 80Wh battery in both the 17Z90N and 15Z90N. Further, it’s future-proofed with Wi-Fi 6 as well.
LG Gram 14, LG Gram 15, and LG Gram 2-in-1
The 15-inch and 14-inch models also get a 2020 design overhaul. Even the LG gram 2-in-1 (model 14T90N), gets a tiny upgrade in the form of Thunderbolt 3 port.
Jang Ik-hwan, head of LG’s IT business division commented, “The LG gram series continues to lead the industry in delivering beyond expectations when it comes to portability without sacrifice. Historically, customers had to choose one feature among performance, portability and battery life. LG gram is proof that this adage is no longer true.”
