LG Ultra Gear Gaming Laptop Revealed With Intel 11th-Gen Core i7 CPU and Nvidia RTX 3080 GPU

The LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q is the first gaming laptop from the brand in a long time. LG isn’t a brand known for making gamer-focused products. They’re mostly known for making the thin and light “Gram” series and their value for money TV sets. Beyond that, LG generally focuses on manufacturing home appliances. However, times are changing and now eSports gaming tournaments could very well see sponsorships from LG, the makers of your favourite fridge. Nonetheless, here’s everything you need to know about the LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q.

LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q Specs and Features

First and foremost, the LG laptop comes with an Intel 11th Gen Core i7 Tiger Lake processor. Our best guess would be an Intel Core i7-11800H featuring 8-cores and 16-threads along with 4.60GHz max turbo frequency and 24MB Intel smart L3 cache. In terms of GPU, the LG Ultra Gear G17G90Q will feature an Nvidia RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card. This particular GPU features a massive 16GB GDDR6 of visual memory, which should be enough to handle the ever-increasing requirements of modern AAA gaming. At the time of writing this article, no word is available on the TGP of the GPU. 

The LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q features a 17-inch 1080p display with support for up to a 300hz refresh rate. I guess the screen response time would also be close to 1ms as well. In terms of RAM and storage, the laptop features 32GB DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD storage. Considering how LG packs its products, like the LG Gram 2021, the storage will most likely be upgradable via a second M.2 slot on this gaming laptop.

The LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q also comes equipped with all the necessary ports like a USB Type A, Type C, an RJ45 Ethernet port, an HDMI slot, a microSD port alongside a Thunderbolt port as well. Gaming is power intensive and that’s why LG Ultra Gear comes with a massive 93Wh battery. It is a little less than the 99Wh battery that comes with the likes of the MSI GE66 Raider gaming laptop though. 

Packing all these components and keeping them cool takes a lot of space hence the LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q is 21.4mm thick, which is slightly thicker than the Alienware X17 which measures 20.99mm. The latter does a great job at keeping its internals cool thanks to four powerful fans and a special thermal paste compound. In terms of weight, the LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q is surprisingly light thanks to an overalls weight of 2.6kg, much lighter than the Alienware X17, another 17-inch laptop with a weight of 3.19kg.

The LG Ultra Gear 17G90Q will hit the shelves in the USA and South Korea in early 2022 with more details coming out soon at the upcoming CES 2022.

This week in Android: It’s weird phone week

We got to play with a lot of cool tech at CES 2019 , but little was cooler than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 . Qualcomm had a reference device  sporting the new SoC and we were able to put it through its paces , including our very own Speed Test G . The results are impressive. In other big news this week, we found out  Motorola is planning on bringing back the Razr phone , made famous in the mid 2000s. We don’t know a lot about the phone itself, but we can make some guesses  based on a patent  from August of last year. Plus, we look ahead at the future of LG and OnePlus , including a new peculiar accessory for LG . Also, we have good news and bad news about Huawei’s security. Here are your top stories for the week 4:20 – Snapdragon 855 performance and benchmarking: Speed Test G, AnTuTu & Geekbench At CES, Gary Sims previewed the  Snapdragon 855 processor in reference hardware. He had some fun with it. 21:45 – You’ll flip for the foldable Motorol...

My product launch wishlist for Instagram, Twitter, Uber and more

‘Twas the night before Xmas, and all through the house, not a feature was stirring from the designer’s mouse . . . Not Twitter! Not Uber, Not Apple or Pinterest! On Facebook! On Snapchat! On Lyft or on Insta! . . . From the sidelines I ask you to flex your code’s might. Happy Xmas to all if you make these apps right. Instagram See More Like This – A button on feed posts that when tapped inserts a burst of similar posts before the timeline continues. Want to see more fashion, sunsets, selfies, food porn, pets, or Boomerangs? Instagram’s machine vision technology and metadata would gather them from people you follow and give you a dose. You shouldn’t have to work through search, hashtags, or the Explore page, nor permanently change your feed by following new accounts. Pinterest briefly had this feature (and should bring it back) but it’d work better on Insta. Web DMs  – Instagram’s messaging feature has become the defacto place for sharing memes and trash talk about peopl...

First ever drone-delivered kidney is no worse for wear

Drone delivery really only seems practical for two things: take-out and organ transplants. Both are relatively light and also extremely time sensitive. Well, experiments in flying a kidney around Baltimore in a refrigerated box have yielded positive results — which also seems promising for getting your pad thai to you in good kit. The test flights were conducted by researchers at the University of Maryland there, led by surgeon Joseph Scalea. He has been frustrated in the past with the inflexibility of air delivery systems, and felt that drones represent an obvious solution to the last-mile problem. Scalea and his colleagues modified a DJI M600 drone to carry a refrigerated box payload, and also designed a wireless biosensor for monitoring the organ while in flight. After months of waiting, their study was assigned a kidney that was healthy enough for testing but not good enough for transplant. Once it landed in Baltimore, the team loaded it into the container and had it travel 14 ...
