LG gram 14 (14Z90N) Laptop
Product Gallery
Product Overview
LG gram 14 (14Z90N) is the 14-inch variant of LG's 2020 gram-series of ultra-thin laptops. Like the gram 15 and the gram 17, the gram 14 features a magnesium alloy ultra-thin, ultra-light chassis.
For 2020, LG offers two CPU options that also differ in exterior color. Both share much of the features with other models in the 2020 gram-series. Battery life is further extended to 18.5 hours, thanks to the generous 72Wh battery and the more efficient 10nm 10th-gen Intel Core mobile processors.
LG also markets a 2-in-1 version of the gram 14 under the 14T90N model name.

Reviewer score 57%LG hasn't changed the keyboard layout or key sizes at all when compared to the Gram 14Z980. The clickpad remains identical in size to the one on its predecessor (10.5 x 7 cm) It's a decent clickpad after growing accustomed to its plasticky surface and somewhat spongy key feedback.

Cons
- Lackluster CPU performance
- No dedicated GeForce option
- No Thunderbolt 3

Reviewer score 64%The LG Gram's 14-inch, Corning Glass-protected display is pleasingly bright. The backlit keyboard has a springy, comfortable feel, with a solid mid-keystroke bump. The Gram's integrated down-firing speakers are par for the course, which is to say they're nothing special.

Reviewer score 68%LG Gram 14 2020 is a premium laptop that weighs less than 1Kg and doesn't cost the Earth. A fully loaded model with a Core i7 CPU, 16GB memory and half a Terabyte onboard storage costs about $1,700. It has two ports only, weighs 300g more and has a 50WHr battery capacity. But this is an Apple model so expect plenty of bundle Mac applications and a long battery life despite a much higher screen resolution.
