LG UltraGear Laptop w/ RTX 3080 Max-Q now official

LG has unveiled its first gaming laptop, the LG UltraGear gaming laptop featuring a 17-inch IPS display and an NVidia RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card.

Powered by an Intel 11th generation Tiger Lake H processor, the LG UltraGear laptop boasts a 17-inch panel with a 1 millisecond response time and a 300Hz refresh rate. It also comes with up to 32GB of DDR4 RAM, dual NVMe slots up to 1TB, FHD webcam, and a fingerprint reader. It also features LG’s cooling system with a vapor chamber that keeps the laptop running cool.

The LG UltraGear laptop 17G90Q features a 93Wh battery life with a thickness of under 21.4 millimeters and a weight of less than 2.7kg.

The 17G90Q further optimizes the gaming experience via LG’s gaming software, LG UltraGear Studio, which lets users customize gaming-related options and track a variety of performance data – including CPU clock, GPU TDP and clock, and memory share rate – in real-time. And for a completely unique setup, users can choose and apply a different color to every single key of the laptop’s RGB keyboard.

The laptop also features speakers supporting DTS:X Ultra, which the company says accurately conveys the directionality and location of sounds in the gaming environment. It also comes with Intel Killer Wireless which helps create a stable network connection.

“The LG UltraGear gaming laptop has everything needed to tackle the latest high-spec games, delivering the smooth, responsive gameplay that all gamers want,” said Seo Young-jae, senior vice president and head of the IT business unit of LG Electronics Business Solutions Company. “Our first-ever gaming laptop, the 17G90Q differentiates itself from competing products with its premium hardware, generous, high-quality screen, and a sleek, lightweight design that maximizes convenience and portability.”

LG’s UltraGear gaming laptop will initially be available in the United States and South Korea in the first quarter of 2022 with other markets to follow.
