LG Gram Style 16" (2023) review

LG Gram Style 16″ (2023) — the bigger Style with the battery in the strength slot

The Gram Style 16 at $954 pairs an Intel Core i7 1360P with 32 GB of RAM. The 80 Wh battery is the flagged strength — 27% above the class median, huge band, top quartile — while the flagged weakness is the composite score at 38, 22% below the ultrabook-class median of 49. The Style line's trade, scaled up.

Where it holds up

Office productivity at 84.85 (high) leads the sheet, with the 80 Wh cell the endurance anchor of the format. Photo design reads mid at 37, portability mid at 59.8 for the 16-inch body, and the 32 GB tier matches the class median. Style money buys the finish and the battery; the office platform holds its end of the bargain on the bigger canvas.

Where it falls short

The composite at 38 is the flag, and the low bands line up: overall performance 34.41, gaming 23, 3D modeling 27 and engineering CAD 30 — all low band. Value at 17.2 (low) repeats the Style-line arithmetic: $954 for a single-high sheet with the rest of the card resolved mid-to-low.

Price and depreciation

No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2023 cohort rate is 10.62% per year — a moderate, half-settled slope.

Alternatives to consider

The Gram Style 14 at the same $954 is the 0.99 kg twin with portability at 83.3 in place of the endurance play. The Gram 16 (2023) at $954 adds the RTX 3050 with a 63.1 graphics score for identical money. The Gram 16 (2024) at $954 moves to the newer platform with office at 88.99.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The bigger Style: office 84.85 anchored by an 80 Wh cell on the 16-inch canvas — composite 38 and value 17.2 the honest cost of the finish-first formula at $954.
