LG brand 14" Laptop

[Albertphoon]

got what free gift? Z90N also got the free ram upgrade, free sleeve etc from the service centre...

you can chk it out on Lg/sg/ website and pick where to buy and select H.Norman store.

Their free gift as stated there are . 1TB portable Harddisk, 1 portable bluetooth speaker, I usb-c multiport adaptor and1wireless mouse . Total =s256.70

But i doubt the above cost that much. Need to chk the physical items.

Anyway I still prefer the 990 over the 90N.
even the later have better spec.. but ....... Not becos of $

if not will be the new Thinkpad model.

If not because of money then why ah? Just curious. The two models look identical, justt hat the z90 has ice lake with iris plus graphics, thunderbolt 3 and Wifi6. These three features enough to make me choose the newer model anyday...

I just clarified with digital hub (the distro) though, apparently the SSD upgrade to 1tb is not applicable for the newer model

haha, Dun overlook on the better spec , there are many more on the laptop to make the final consideration.

How much does the 15Z90N and the 17Z90N cost?

BTW, by default, they come with 16GB RAM DDR4 3200MHz, right?

What NVMe SSD brand are they using?

The LG GRAM allows the use of external power bank to charge it. Anyone knows which power bank(s) can be used?

The only gripes I have are

a) No touch screen
b) No 4K screen
c) Only 1 USB-C port
d) It's TB port is weak and useless as far as connecting to eGPU for gaming is concerned. This has been tested in the version before the 90N series and the video is on YouTube by D2D

Thanks

Also need to take note of the CA3 and BA3 on the model. As CA3 is Home and BA3 is Pro. Both are 64bits . but again if you hold a genuine pro activation key you can use it to do a upgrade online.
Again most do not need the Pro series.

As for the ram. it only have a single slot. So need to remove the 8 to put in the 16. As for the SSD they have 2 slots.

I will be buying either of the 14" model. 990 or 90N

You mean CA3 comes with Win 10 Home and BA3 comes with Win 10 Pro?

If you check online some managed to upgrade the RAM to 24GB for earlier models. Is there a 24GB RAM stick?

8+16gb (add in)

that additional slot is a ram or ssd one. so once you put another stick of ram in, you will not be able to slot another ssd in

In store the LG brochure shows upgrade to 16gb and upgrade to 2 year warranty for all z90n models... Standard provided by LG service centre The major chain stores should have the brochure ba.

I had the impression that the additional sodimm is separate from the second m2 slot? At least for the older models, you can upgrade ram and +1 SSD.

Actually, overseas 15 and 17 inch come with 16GB RAM pre-installed. Don't understand why LG here wants us to bring the laptop to their service centre to upgrade. ******* stupid for making us busy!!

So the latest model 90N only comes with 1 RAM slot and 2x SSD slots? No way to upgrade the RAM to 24GB RAM then, right?

Many thanks

it comes with 8gb soldered to the mobo, and one empty ram slot (which the service centre will fill with 8gb ram). If I'm not wrong, there are also 2 M2 SSD slots, one of which is filled with 512gb.

You can get a 16gb ram to fill in the second slot instead for 24gb.

Is it confirmed what you said? Can the laptop recognized the 24GB RAM?

Do you know which brand/model of power bank that can charge the LG GRAM?

 

[trenzterra]

I cannot confirm but based on those press releases (search for LG gram 24gb) looks like it's supported.

Try and see lor haha...

 

[destiny88]

all LG gram Z990 supports up to max of 24GB Ram, can run either 2400mhz or 2666mhz, on board is 2400mhz, yes 8gb is onboard

Z990 series supports PCIE ssd also....but only i know how to enable it/how it works LOL

For the reason why new model does not have the $118 to upgrade to 1TB...is becos Pcie SSD cost difference.
