LG has unveiled some details for the 17G90Q, a 17-inch gaming laptop for its existing UltraGear gaming hardware line.
LG has been dipping its toes into the world of PC gaming for a while with its UltraGear range of products, but today the company announced its first gaming laptop, listed as the 17G90Q. The UltraGear line has, until this point, either specialized in gaming monitors and a $500 / £500 / AU$720 gaming speaker, so this marks the first additional of actual computing hardware to join the series. It’s no slog either, with the 17G90Q having won the CES 2022 Innovation Award and featuring some of the latest and most powerful laptop components available right now. LG states the laptop will pack up to an 11th generation Intel processor (though the announcement doesn’t specify if this will go up to an i7 or i9), as well as an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q graphics card, dual-channel memory, and an ultra-fast dual SSD setup. In fact, the wording of the announcements suggests that the 17G90Q might only be made available with the beefy RTX 3080 GPU, though we have contacted LG for clarification. Other impressive features are the 17-inch displays 1 millisecond response time and 300Hz refresh rate, which can show you all 300 frames-per-second in titles capable of running that well, which will make this an ideal choice for competitive gamers who like fast-paced battle royales and first-person shooters.
