LG gaming sub-brand UltraGear will add a new member! The South Korean giant announced earlier the launch of its first gaming laptop, the UltraGear 17G90Q, following the footsteps of Samsung to attack the gaming laptop market, but unlike the Galaxy Book Odyssey, which first tested the water temperature with entry-level specifications, LG wanted to Play it big, and directly create high-end specifications such as Intel's 11th-generation Tiger Lake H-series processor, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card, and 300Hz refresh rate screen for this 17-inch laptop. The LG UltraGear 17G90Q will make its debut at CES 2022 in January next year, and will be the first to go on sale in South Korea and the US market.

Consumers in Taiwan will not be unfamiliar with LG notebooks. B02B-PASK, its flagship gram series focuses on office performance and "lightweight" thin and light experience, but its graphics card is only equipped with Intel Iris Xe Intrinsic level, it is still too difficult to use to play competitive games.

LG's first gaming laptop, UltraGear 17G90Q, is made of a rare purple-gray aluminum alloy chassis. The "UG" purple wing logo representing UltraGear is printed in the center of the upper cover. The same design elements can also be viewed on the trackpad. As it turns out, it is not only equipped with Per-Key's RGB backlit keyboard, but also has a lighting effect configuration on the front and rear of the notebook, creating a sense of gaming beyond my expectations for LG. In addition, the power button also integrates the fingerprint recognition function to improve the user experience.

The LG UltraGear 17G90Q is equipped with a 17.3-inch FHD resolution IPS-level screen with a screen refresh rate of 300Hz, a response time of 1ms, and a 99% sRGB wide color gamut. In terms of hardware specifications, the machine is equipped with Intel 11th generation Tiger Lake H series processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card, up to 32GB model">32GB model">32GB model">32GB model">32GB model"> 32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model">32GB Model ">32GB model">32GB DDR4 dual-channel memory, and up to 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD solid state drive, the first two are dual-slot configurations, which are convenient for self-upgrade or replacement.

For gaming performance, LG also uses a vapor chamber cooling system to keep the laptop cool under high-speed operation without overheating. The built-in UltraGear Studio central control application allows users to customize game performance or monitor CPU and GPU in real time. As a high-end gaming laptop, UltraGear Studio also gives players the ability to change keyboard lighting effects, and even create gaming personalities from single-key RGB. In addition, the machine also has Wi-Fi 6E and Intel Killer Wireless wireless network to provide a more stable connection, four 2W two-way speakers support DTS:X Ultra surround sound technology to accurately convey the direction of sound in the game environment, allowing players to track enemies easier.

The I/O ports of the LG UltraGear 17G90Q are scattered on the left, right and rear of the fuselage. It is equipped with 1 USB 4 Gen3 Type-C (supports PD-out and Thunderbolt 4), 1 USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C (supports PD- out and DisplayPort), 2 USB 3.2 Gen2, and 3.5mm 4-pole headphone jack, HDMI terminal, RJ45 Ethernet jack, MicroSD/UFS slot, DC in charging port, the specifications are fairly complete. Since this gaming laptop has a built-in 93Wh rechargeable lithium battery, the body weighs 2.64Kg and the thickness is about 21.4mm. It does not have the thinness and lightness of its own gram series. Maybe you can expect LG to launch a 15-inch thin and light version of gaming in the future. machine

Seo Young-jae, vice president of LG's IT business unit, said, "The LG UltraGear gaming laptop has everything you need to handle the latest high-profile games, delivering the smooth, responsive gaming experience that all gamers seek, our first laptop. With its excellent hardware, high-quality screen and portable design, the gaming laptop 17G90Q can stand out from the competition.”

At present, the official price of this flagship e-sports machine has not been announced, and it may have to be announced at CES 2022. As for whether it will be sold in Taiwan at that time? It seems to have a better chance than Samsung's Galaxy Book Odyssey next door. If the UltraGear 17G90Q is priced nicely, it may be able to occupy a place in the market... As a result, LG's office notebook sales have achieved good results and have established a good foundation. Second, in the market where the chip shortage has affected the past two years and the supply is in short supply, the high-end gaming notebook will definitely attract players to rush for it!

Netizen: The new choice looks good, and then it depends on the price

Netizen: RTX3080 specifications are quite high

Netizen: I hope to have a 15-inch version with a better price in the future, but by then the 12th generation notebook version will almost be on the market. I really want to see the 12th generation i5+3060 version to grab the market at a price.
