Expert tester comments
The LG UltraPC 16U70R-G.AA76A is a large yet relatively thin laptop that makes use of an AMD Ryzen processor and AMD Radeon graphics. It can be used capably for everyday office and communications tasks, and because its screen has a 16-inch viewable area, it can be a good alternative to a desktop PC. There is a good array of ports, and even though its USB-C port is not of the quicker Thunderbolt variety, it can still be used to connect an external monitor, USB storage, and input peripherals. If you have the urge to take it out of the house, the battery has the potential to last a long time u002du002d we got over 12 hours in our rundown test.
