If you prioritize lightweight design and high performance for tasks like video editing or running demanding software, the LG Gram 16 is a better choice, although it comes at a higher price. It features a larger, high-resolution display and more powerful processor, making it well-suited for professional use. On the other hand, if you are looking for a budget-friendly option for everyday tasks like browsing the web, streaming videos, or using office applications, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" might be sufficient. It offers a smaller display and less powerful hardware, which means it won't handle intensive applications as well, but it is more affordable. The LG Gram also has a more extensive set of connectivity options, which could be important if you need to connect to multiple peripherals. Give Feedback

The LG Gram 16 is good for general use, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The LG Gram 16 offers strong performance with its higher-end CPU and more RAM, it has a high-resolution screen that reflects vibrant colors, is lighter, and presents a longer battery life, which together enhance its suitability for general use beyond the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" which has a lower-end processor, less RAM, a lower color coverage display, and a shorter battery life, making it less equipped for varied tasks and long usage periods.

The LG Gram 16 is only fair for gaming and AI, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The LG Gram 16, with its more powerful Intel i7 processor and Iris Xe graphics, provides fair gaming and 3D performance, whereas the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" falls short with a less capable Intel Celeron N4020 processor and basic Intel UHD Graphics 600, leading to poor gaming and 3D capabilities. Both laptops have screens with 60 Hz refresh rates, but LG's superior screen quality and processing power make it a better, though not ideal, option for such tasks.

The LG Gram 16 is good for engineering and design, while the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is poor.
The LG Gram 16, with its high-performance Intel i7 processor, substantial RAM, and advanced Iris Xe graphics, is well-equipped for engineering and design, further complemented by its high-resolution IPS display which offers better screen quality. In contrast, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" falls short for such tasks due to its modest Celeron processor, limited RAM, basic UHD Graphics 600, and lower-resolution display.

The LG Gram 16 has a better screen than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, software development, and content creation.
The LG Gram 16 offers a bright, high-resolution display, making it suitable for general use and detailed engineering tasks where clarity and color accuracy are key, but its modest refresh rate may disappoint gamers seeking fluid motion in fast-paced 3D environments. Conversely, the Packard Bell Cloudbook's screen may fall short in both resolution and brightness, leading to a less satisfying experience for everyday tasks and making precision engineering work challenging due to less accurate color representation. Additionally, with both laptops lacking high refresh rates, neither is ideal for gaming, where smoother visuals can provide a competitive edge.

Florian Glaser | January 2023
"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."
