Unimpressive performance for the price. | The latest LG Gram 14 2-in-1 is the Comet Lake-U update to last year's Whiskey Lake-U model. Unfortunately, the newer model doesn't give us very many compelling reasons to purchase it over the older one.
The 14-inch 2020 LG Gram 14T90N succeeds last year's Gram 14T990 that was revealed ahead of CES 2019. The second generation model brings Comet Lake-U CPU options on-board to replace the older Whiskey Lake-U family.
Our test unit here comes with the Core i7-10510U CPU, 1080p touchscreen, 512 GB NVMe SSD, and 16 GB of DDR4 RAM for $1400 USD retail. There appears to be no other configuration with Intel 10th gen CPU options aside from the Core i7 SKU in review.
Direct competitors include other subnotebook convertibles like the Asus ZenBook 14 Flip, Dell XPS 13 7390 2-in-1, Lenovo Yoga C940, HP Spectre x360 13, and the Microsoft Surface Pro series.
