r/LGgram

I've been running Fedora on my Gram 16 (16T90R 2 in 1 with an i7-1360P) and it works ok but I've noticed it's pretty sluggish at times.

I know there's a bunch of tinkering that can be done around CPU throttling and other things to investigate like thunderbolt issues, but I'm ready for a change of distro anyway, so any recommendations for something that'll work and perform well ootb?

Have been using Linux for about a year and have tried a bunch of distros on my desktop. Since the Gram is for work I need it to be something that's not going to break 10 minutes before I have a presentation. Prefer something independent and community-run if possible.

I don't need Mint-level beginner friendly but not really up for spending days doing manual configs either. Would be nice if the stylus worked well.

Hey guys,
So my battery dies out pretty fast now. it started to do so recently but these 4 years were great ngl.
I think i need to replace it because the space above the "F" keys gets super hot when I'm charging, even hurts to touch. i think the battery seen better days.
Which one do i get? I've heard that its hard to find a cheap replacement that works well with all the functions working too.

my PC: LG Electronics 15Z95N-G.AAC6U1 (Lg Gram)

I've heard people replacing the battery 3 times with failurs and then they finally find one that works. Hopefully someone can chime in here and give me some help ad maybe a link on what to do. Really need this PC to work. i love it. best laptop ive ever owned with being so light and comfortable.

I purchased both the 2026 and 2025 versions of the laptop and only plan on keeping one of them. I ran passmark scores for both on battery and plugged in. Here they are:

2025 on battery

2025 plugged in

2026 on battery

2026 plugged in

I am using the laptop primarily for 2D Cad using CabinetVision. I also use MS Office and SketchUp a lot.

From what I can tell the 386H maintains performance better on battery. I am interested in the memory and disk scores. CabinetVision is constantly querying SQL so those scores may result in a snappier experience. I am still testing.

Aside from the benchmarks, my initial impressions of the two laptops are:

2026 is a touch screen model with a glossy surface over the IPS display. This is a negative for my use case. In fact, looking at the screens next to each other the matte screen of the 2025 laptop looks better.

The 2026 uses the fans more aggressively. I wasn't expecting this. I have both laptops on max performance while plugged in and balanced mode while on battery. In the LG Gram app I have both set to max fans.

The 2026 was only available in a bronze color and I don't care for it.

The display on the 2026 wobbles a lot more than the 2025 does. This may in part be due to it being thicker and presumably heavier. It's a noticeable amount.

Both laptops lost the same amount of battery while running the tests, at least according to the battery percentage in the taskbar.

Keyboards feel the same. Although the deck of the 2026 is slightly thicker and it is noticeable while typing.

Summary: if I don't notice a performance benefit to the 2026 model during daily work I will be keeping the 2025. I think the display, quieter fans, and overall weight of the 2025 is better.

Helloo I have the LG gram 17Z90P laptop, the original battery stopped working after around 4 years, then i bought this one

LBV7227E Laptop Battery For LG Gram 15Z90N 16Z90P 16Z90PC 16Z90PG 17Z90N 17Z90P

which also stopped working after 2 months!

now question

1. in this case, do i just need to replace the battery with a better one? or should i check the motherboard or the charger (i'm using the original one) to see if one of them is responsible for breaking the 2 batteries?

2. How do you guys buy non-original batteries that work? what do i look for? what do i avoid?

3. Is it just me or is the battery issues a known thing for this model?

I'm in the market for a new laptop, and have been looking at the new lineup, but I find the brushed bronze so ugly. The problem is, I have scoured the internet have not seen a single picture of the 17" Pro with the 5050 in any other color, even though everyone claims it comes in the 3 others...

Does anyone know if there are more colors? Thanks!

Hi, I am using the LG Gram 15z90s from 2024. I was wondering if anyone here uses a custom EQ preset for their LG Gram (through Dolby, dts:X, or other software) and, if so, what their settings are. I am running Mint and so i can change the frequency bands to whatever I want. Any guidance, advice, or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
