After unveiling two unique TV models earlier this week, LG has now announced its first-ever gaming laptop, the UltraGear Gaming Laptop (17G90Q) ahead of CES 2022. The laptop features top-of-the-line hardware, including a 300Hz display, 11th-Gen Intel CPU, and an Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU to deliver a smooth and immersive gaming experience. Here are all the details.
The LG UltraGear laptop falls under the company’s UltraGear lineup, which previously only included ultra-wide gaming monitors and has now expanded to gaming laptops.
The laptop sports a massive 17.3-inch IPS LCD panel with support for a 300Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time to deliver a smooth and crisp gaming experience. It has a 16:9 aspect ratio, a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, and support for 99% sRGB. Other than this, the LG gaming laptop comes with per-key RGB support for its keyboard that lets users assign different colors to individual keys using LG’s gaming software, LG UltraGear Studio.
The LG UltraGear laptop can pack up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM and has an M.2 dual SSD setup for internal storage that can go up to 1TB. It comes with LG’s vapor chamber-based cooling system to keep the temperatures down during heavy-duty tasks. Additionally, it supports the LG UltraGear Studio gaming software that can customize GPU, CPU, and memory share rate options for better gameplays.
Ports-wise, the LG UltraGear gets 2 Thunderbolt 4-supported USB-C ports, 2 USB-A ports, a DC-in port, an HDMI connector, an RJ45 port, and a 4-pole headset jack. There is also a built-in 2-way speaker system with support for DTS:X Ultra audio to deliver immersive sounds. Furthermore, the laptop comes with Wi-Fi 6E and Intel’s Killer Wireless system, which promises to deliver fast and stable network connections for lag-free online gaming or streaming experiences.
The LG UltraGear laptop’s price is still behind the veil and is expected to be revealed during CES 2022. As for the availability, the UltraGear Gaming Laptop will be initially available in the US and South Korea, starting early 2022. The company will then launch the device in other markets later in the year.
