LG Electronics Launches New Product 'LG UltraGear Gaming Laptop'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] LG Electronics announced on the 17th that it will target the gaming laptop market with its new product, the 'LG UltraGearTM Gaming Laptop.'

The LG UltraGear gaming laptop is a product optimized for high-spec games, offering overwhelming performance as well as design and user convenience, and it received the CES 2022 Innovation Award.

This product features a 17.3-inch (approximately 44cm diagonal) large IPS display with a 1ms (millisecond, one-thousandth of a second) response time, delivering smooth and clear expression of rapidly changing content, scenes, and videos. It also supports a refresh rate of up to 300Hz, showing up to 300 frames per second.

The laptop is equipped with NVIDIA's high-performance laptop graphics card (RTX™ 3080) and Intel's latest 11th generation processor (Tiger Lake H). It applies a vapor chamber cooling system that quickly reduces heat over a wide area, providing a fast environment even when running high-spec games for extended periods.

A slim design with a thickness of only 21.4 millimeters (mm) at its thickest part is another strength. Despite having a large-capacity 93 watt-hour (Wh) battery, it weighs only about 2.6 kilograms (kg), making it convenient to carry. The memory and storage (SSD) each support dual channels, offering excellent expandability.

The stereo speakers equipped in the product apply DTS:X Ultra spatial sound technology to provide users with immersive sound. The full-size keyboard, including the numeric keypad, features backlighting that allows users to change the color of each key according to their preference. Additionally, using the dedicated gaming software ‘LG UltraGear Studio,’ users can easily adjust hardware performance such as CPU and GPU to suit the game.

According to market research firm IDC, the global gaming PC market size is expected to grow from 41.3 million units in 2022 to 52.3 million units by 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 5%.

LG Electronics will conduct pre-orders for the new LG UltraGear gaming laptop from the 17th until July 7th at nationwide electronics stores including LG Electronics Best Shops and official online retailers. Customers who participate in the pre-order will receive an UltraGear gaming speaker and gaming mouse as gifts. The domestic shipment price is 5.49 million KRW (based on the model equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX™ 3080 graphics card).
