The Best Laptop Battery Life Yet?

2017-06-10
hey guys this is Austin and this laptop might have some of the best battery life in the world so this is the gram 13 and big shout-out to LG purse poncing this video so not only is this supposed to have good battery life but it's also a very lightweight laptop so like ram name isn't just for show this guy weighs around a kilogram or just over 2 pounds so inside the box we get the laptop itself with a very handy little G to pick it up oh that was uh that was me I bet that's is she really weirdly liked continuing on we actually have a lot of accessories starting with a USB C 2 Ethernet adapter really so even though this is a 13 inch laptop it's actually almost closer to an 11 inch laptop and footprint as I shall demonstrate with this totally random generic no-name 11 inch laptop I did only keep saying this but this is so lightweight so what's cool is even though it almost feels like it's plastic this is actually magnesium or rather it's a nano carbon magnesium alloy kid maybe put this on by the way he thought it would be funny for such a thin laptop there are actually quite a few ports so on the left side you'll find that there is a charging port USB 3 HDMI as well as USB C and if you flip it over to find there's one more USB 3 port a headphone jack as well as a micro SD card slot I just like doing this it's just so lightweight it feels like I know it just feels like there's like something missing but it's just a really lightweight laptop I think the build quality is actually something that's really jumping out to me about the grand so if you guys saw my friend what's inside when they took a look at the Graham they actually put this thing to a lot of abuse MLG claims they can handle something like 400 pounds of pressure without breaking the screen is flexible so it doesn't actually break it's for something so lightweight more durable and you would think inside the grand 13 is powered by a dual core i5 7200 U which is based on KB Lakes that's pretty much as new as it gets a gigabytes of memory as well as a 256 gigabyte SSD the speakers are interesting so they are kind of on the bottom but they actually project sideways so while there may not quite as loud as I would like there's you don't sound that bad what's cool about having that full USB C port is that what single cable we can attach the gram to a 4k monitor and now are we going to get that 4k video signal we can also get charging to the laptop as well as extra data via the USB ports on the monitor so first impressions of the Graham are pretty solid but I really want to put to the test is that battery life I'm going to keep this for the weekend so the first thing that jumps out to me about using the Graham especially as I travel is that wait so after using a giant laptop for the last year and a half or so having something that's so light and so portable actually does make a difference my peg feels like it weighs a lot less of course the biggest part of the grant is that battery life so it has been nearly four days since I took this off the charger and let's see what the battery life is like so I open it up here right now we are at 48 percent that is not bad and I have not used this thing lightly so on top of being in standby for four days I watched about three hours of Netflix some YouTube answers some females it's in web browsing and this is absolutely held up now I will say that you should turn battery saver on that definitely does give you a fair bit extra battery life but with a laptop like this it kind of makes you use it differently so I was able to use the Graham one-handed with the touchscreen mind you it's not maybe the most comfortable way of using a laptop in the world but having something that's so lightweight with a touchscreen actually does work out pretty well performance is pretty snappy so with that cable a Core i5 processor it easily handles any kind of basic usage and even more moderate stuff like Photoshop runs no problem now you won't want to do a lot of heavy gaming or especially video editing on this guy but for pretty much 98% of what I do every day it's completely fine well the laptop like this the inputs really do matter and I don't have any complaints about the Graham so the keyboard itself is nicely spaced it has plenty of key travel and as an upgrade from the previous grant it's fully backlit this time the tripod is also pretty decent so my only slight complaint is that it's maybe not quite as accurate as I'd like but for the most part it's completely fine and I end up opting for the slightly upgraded version of the Graham with the touchscreen which definitely makes a big difference I really do feel like Windows 10 laptops should all have touchscreens at this point so you know that screen is on point so don't let that 1080p resolution fool you it really is more than enough for a 13-inch display especially when you consider that the higher resolution screens usually do hurt battery life more importantly it's got a really solid IPS panel so color contrast especially viewing angles are nice it gets reasonably bright even your outside and because it has such thin bezel it makes the overall Watts upsides a lot smaller than it otherwise would be the only issue with the small bezel is it puts the webcam on the bottom of the screen which gives you a great view of the inside of your nose one cool part about upgrading to the touch screen model is that it does come with a fingerprint reader this is again something guys find amusing all the time on laptops it's so nice to be able to use Windows hello to drop your finger on the touch pad and immediately log in it is really nice to be able to take a laptop on a full weekend trip and not even think about taking the power adapter so what do you guys think about the LG Graham let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
