Performance scores
LG Gram 16 (2025) — the Arrow Lake Gram with unlogged graphics columns
The Gram 16 (2025) at $1,232 runs the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H with an Arc 140T and 32 GB of RAM. Overall performance posts 80.54 — 93% above the ultrabook median, high band, top quartile — the CPU reads 91.36 (enthusiast) and reliability 87 (up 71% on class). No weakness is flagged; the caveat lives in the graphics columns, where the scoring pipeline has no matched entry for the Arc 140T.
Where it holds up
Office productivity at 84.85 (high) leads the sheet, with engineering CAD at 46 (mid) the surprising runner-up. Overall performance at 80.54 is one of the highest compute figures in the current Gram family — the 255H finally gives the chassis the head it always lacked. Value reads 46.85 (mid), the best value figure of the modern 16-inch Grams.
Where it falls short
The gaming and photo-design axes log 0 for want of a matched scoring entry — a coverage gap, not a literal zero, and a hands-on check is the only honest resolution. 3D modeling reads 22 (low) on what data does resolve. The 2025 price asks flagship money while two columns stay unverified.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2025 cohort rate is 12% per year — a moderated modern slope.
Alternatives to consider
The Gram 17 (2025) at the same $1,232 posts performance at 82.64 with a 94.51 CPU on the bigger canvas. The Gram 14 (2025) at $1,232 is the featherweight route to the same platform. The ThinkBook 16 Gen 7 at $1,007 offers the 96.05 office reading at a $225 discount if the compute matters more than the chassis.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The compute-led Gram: performance 80.54 with an 91.36 CPU and office 84.85 — gaming and photo columns unlogged by the pipeline, modeling 22 the one resolved low band.
