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.

very disappointing premium
Imagine this with 4800U... :-(
So sad that Many OEM's will keep pushing thermally throttled Intel 14nm++++++ part s(even with LM) but not go for better Ryzen 4000 :-(.
just sad for us the customers.
I have a similar issue..
I got an LG gram 17 inch core i7 (8th gen), hoping to get a better screen and faster processor compared to my Dell 13 inch core i5 (7tg gen).. I even made my LGs RAM more than the Dells..
However, the Dell is always faster then the LG in even normal tasks and the LG often freezes intermittently for a few seconds. Its a shame. I ended up giving the expensive $1500 to my wife. Stupid LG..
Here are the geekbench benchmarks
Geekbench score (id) 892952 (Dell)
Geekbench score (id) 894453 (LG Gram)
Its not letting me post full links, so I have posted only the ids of the benchmark..
you need to prefix browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu to it
How do I unthrottle the laptop? Will using a fan in the base help?
