The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 is generally less expensive and includes a touch screen, making it user-friendly for interactive tasks. It's also a 2-in-1 laptop, allowing for tablet-like use. However, it's slightly heavier and has shorter battery life than the LG Gram 16. The LG Gram 16 offers a larger, higher-resolution display without touch capabilities, is lighter for better portability, and boasts a significantly longer battery life, which is ideal for use on the go. If the budget allows and a premium display and portability are key, the LG Gram 16 is preferable; for a more budget-conscious choice with versatile touch capabilities, consider the Dell Inspiron 14 7435.

The LG Gram 16 and Dell Inpsiron 14 7435 are both only fair for gaming and AI.
The Dell Inspiron 14 7435 is fair for gaming and 3D with its AMD Ryzen Vega 8 graphics, but the display's standard refresh rate and lower screen resolution may not satisfy avid gamers. Conversely, the LG Gram 16 also offers a fair gaming experience with its Intel Iris Xe graphics and a higher screen resolution for crisper images, but like the Dell, the standard refresh rate won't be ideal for fast-paced games where higher refresh rates can provide smoother visuals.

Eric Grevstad | August 2023
"We see no shame in an economy laptop missing the four-star mark. Frankly, we considered giving the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 three-and-a-half stars for its low price, competitive performance, and long battery life. Unfortunately, working with a screen that can't deliver at least 300 nits of brightness is simply no fun to the point of detrimental. Still, if you're looking for a convertible laptop on a tight budget, it's worth keeping an eye on Dell's sales and discounts. That Lavender Blue model is fairly tempting."

"The LG Gram 16 is a lightweight device with stability issues. The LG Gram 16Z90Q with a Core i7-1260P is made with portability in mind and places less of a focus on users with high demands on performance. The compact and light chassis is particularly practical when you are on the go. The device is not only comfortably small and lightweight, it also boasts a great battery life. When connected to mains, on the other hand, the 16-inch device is rather disappointing. The standard cooling mode causes extreme volatility in terms of CPU, SSD and iGPU performance. The meager stability of the chassis may also put off some potential buyers."
