Preliminary information

Hello everyone, I am Lifeisgood, the original author of Aunt Zhang’s "Synology NAS Unofficial Introductory Manual" (if you can’t remember English, just call me by my Chinese name Laifujun ) . In June of this year, thanks to Aunt Zhang’s kindness, I was lucky enough to receive an LG gram 16-inch thin and light laptop during a public testing event.

The new generation of LG gram is the benchmark for high-end thin and light business notebooks in 2022. It integrates a 16-inch high-definition large screen into a slim body, is equipped with the 12th generation Intel® Core™ processor, and has passed the Intel® Evo™ platform Certified, equipped with advanced and complete mainstream interfaces such as dual Thunderbolt 4, LPDDR5 memory and NVMe Gen4 solid state drive . It has a built-in 80 Wh lithium battery, which can provide an ultra-long battery life of up to 20.5 hours, and is lighter at 1.19kg. . LG gram is a powerful productivity tool that combines mobility, portability and scalability.

LG gram 16 new notebook uses a 2.5K screen with a physical resolution of 2560*1600. Due to the low DPI value of an ordinary mouse, if it is used directly on a desktop with this resolution, the cursor movement speed will be significantly slower.

Judging from years of experience, I paid most attention to two points when choosing the wireless mouse : first, the battery life should be long, and second, there should be two forward/backward function keys (this is useful when managing files and browsing the web). Can double the efficiency).

Green Link’s light-tone dual-mode wireless mouse has two side buttons on the left that support forward and backward, which just meets my office requirements.

adopts high-precision blue light sensor, which is sensitive and adaptable to dusty glass, wood, cloth, paper and other desktops. The switch (pick) at the bottom of

is multi-functional (OFF, ON, DPI). Push it to the top to turn off the power; push it to the middle to turn on the power (currently the power is on).

If you continue to toggle down, what is the function? Toggle once, release and bounce back, which is the DPI gear adjustment. Each time you toggle it, you can rotate between 1000, 1600, 2000, and 4000DPI. The indicator light above the switch uses the number of flashes (0, 1, 2, 3 times) to indicate the gear position. The larger the

DPI value, the faster the cursor moves with the mouse. According to actual measurements, on the 2.5K screen of the LG gram, the DPI setting of 2000 is the most appropriate (it also depends on personal habits).

Green Link’s wireless mouse supports dual-mode connection, that is, 2.4G wireless + Bluetooth, two wireless methods. The

wireless receiver can be stored inside the mouse, see the groove next to the battery. This prevents it from being lost while carrying it.

only uses one AA battery (included with the machine), which effectively reduces the overall working weight. The battery life is also very impressive, reaching 12 months for Bluetooth and 18 months for wireless.

This also makes it convenient to connect two devices (such as laptops, tablets, desktops, mobile phones, etc.) at the same time. How to switch? Pay attention to the small button behind the scroll wheel. A short press switches between wireless and Bluetooth, and a long press for 3 seconds switches between mac OS and Windows operating system .

means that you can switch between two hosts with one click, making it easy to control two computers at the same time.

Overall, this is a very cost-effective dual-mode wireless mouse.

Green Link DVD external recorder

Once upon a time, CD and DVD discs became the leaders in mobile storage because of their large capacity and low price. However, with the rise of broadband networks, the continuous expansion of the capacity of mechanical hard drives and , and streaming media replacing film and television discs as the new popular media, for today's children, optical disc drives and optical discs have almost become antiques in the digital age.

But the disc burner has never been retired in my home, because my important data is protected by following the 3-2-1 backup rule. The

-2-1 backup rule is a relatively classic data protection strategy. It means: your data must have three copies, stored on two different media, at least one of which must be stored off-site.

Therefore, I own a DVD external recorder and an ultra-thin Blu-ray external recorder. The purpose is to use the optical disc as a third medium besides the hard disk and flash disk during backup.

Of course, the various movies and videos and materials accumulated on burned disks in the past also need corresponding drives to read.

Recently, a friend asked me to help organize various recordings and videos and preserve them as important evidence. In order to ensure the absolute security of these data, in addition to saving multiple copies on the computer and NAS, I also burned multiple DVD discs and stored them in different locations.

Taking into account the need to provide or present evidence, in order to ensure foolproofness and ease of use, in addition to using a USB flash drive, a CD will also be brought. Nowadays, in order to achieve the ultimate thin and light design, various notebooks have long canceled the built-in optical drive. Then this external DVD recorder from Lulian can solve the urgent need.

Greenlink’s 8x speed external recorder is a new product this year. The interface on the back of the fuselage is Type-C, and at the end of the data cable connected to the computer, it thoughtfully provides two interfaces: Type-C and Type-A. , convenient for you to connect various types of desktop computers and laptops. After all, the C port on laptops is also rapidly becoming popular.

Let’s give children some popular science. Greenlink external DVD burner does not require an additional power supply. It can supply power and transmit data at the same time with only one USB cable; plug and play, driver-free installation, for mac OS and Win XP , Win7, Win8, Win10, Win11 and other operating systems are fully compatible; and ultra-thin and portable, it is the best match for thin and light notebooks.

Green Link external DVD burner can recognize most optical disc formats on the market except Blu-ray discs, such as CD, CD-R, VCD, CD-RW, DVD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, etc., with one machine. Hands-on, worry-free reading and writing.

Greenlink external DVD burner adopts LG original imported movement, which reads discs at high speed and operates with low noise. For CD discs, the maximum read and write speed is 24x, while for DVD discs, the maximum read and write speed is 8x. It is an excellent performance in terms of reading and writing performance.

chose this Greenlink external DVD recorder because it uses an aluminum alloy casing, which is both durable and easy to dissipate heat. At the same time, the top of the recorder presents a retro and nostalgic vinyl texture design, realizing the fusion of classical elements and modern technology.

Lulian also has an external DVD burner , which has similar specifications to the above-mentioned product, but it omits the aluminum alloy casing and is about fifty yuan cheaper than the former. Friends who want to control costs can consider this one.

Tablet and laptop stand

As a reference, let’s compare the two stands I bought before. I have been using these two at home for several months and I am very satisfied with them. is specially recommended to everyone.

If you often use your tablet to watch live broadcasts and online videos, or use Apple Pencil to write and draw on your tablet, it is recommended to buy this dual-pole dual-axis tablet stand.

This special painting bracket is not big, so why is it so strong? Because of the use of double pole support, each vertical pole is designed with double rotating shafts and has strong damping force. According to actual testing, this bracket requires a lot of force from both hands to unfold and fold it.

Put the 11-inch iPad Pro tablet on it and it is still as stable as a rock. After raising the height, it can be used to play film and television programs to avoid lowering your head to watch. It can protect people's eyesight and cervical vertebra lumbar vertebrae. On the left side of

is the double-pole double-axis tablet stand just mentioned, which is suitable for placing iPad mini and iPad Pro. This kind of double-arm stand is quite stable.

If you want to place a notebook with a larger screen size, it is recommended to buy the notebook stand on the right side. It has a large aluminum alloy panel with a thickness of 3.5mm and an area of ​​up to 280*230mm. It has wider coverage and is safer. The base has been enlarged to 216*198mm, making it as stable as a rock even if a heavy gaming laptop is placed.

The base has been enlarged to 216*198mm, making it as stable as a rock even if a heavy gaming laptop is placed.

strip-shaped hollow heat dissipation holes, large anti-scratch silicone protective pads, precise grooves, large and sturdy base, etc. These design highlights are all the same. The difference between

is some details. For example, the tablet painting stand is supported by double poles, while the laptop stand uses a hollow single-pole reinforced support pole.

Don’t underestimate this single-arm stand. It uses a powerful damping shaft to adjust the height and angle without tools. In terms of quality,

is made of the same aluminum alloy material as the Mackbook. The surface is sandblasted and oxidized, giving it a delicate feel.

This stand has a large supporting area, so I also use it as a stand for a portable display.

I compared many special brackets for portable display screens on the Internet, and this bracket is actually the most suitable.

This single-arm notebook stand also has an upgraded model with the same shape. It has an USB HUB embedded in the support arm and has 4 USB3.0 interfaces , which can expand more peripheral connections for your notebook and also make the desktop more accessible. Become tidier.

Rotating lifting laptop stand

Usually the two previous tablet and laptop stands are enough, why do you need to buy another stand? The newly added LG gram thin and light notebook needs a stand. At first, the leader of the family used the large notebook stand above to place the notebook on the coffee table and use it with a wireless keyboard and mouse to work.

Leisure time is here. When you want to lean on the armrest of the sofa to watch variety shows, a problem arises. From sitting upright to half lying down, the laptop must adjust its direction to adapt to changes in people's sight and posture. There are also water cups, snacks and other sundries on the coffee table. If you often adjust the position of the stand and laptop back and forth, it will be a little inconvenient, and it is easy for the device to slip accidentally.

was just dozing off, so someone gave me a pillow. Lulian has newly launched a laptop stand with a rotating and lifting function, which seems to be just right for switching back and forth between office and leisure.

Open the packaging box. The bracket is divided into two parts during storage and transportation. The left side is the main body of the bracket and the right side is the base.

The main body is the upper part of the laptop stand, including the uprights and tray. The lifting and rotating mechanisms can be vaguely seen here. In other words, this aluminum alloy material is lightweight, durable and anti-corrosion, and its appearance and quality have been improved. I fell in love with it at first sight. No wonder Steve Jobs likes to use aluminum alloy to build iPhone and iPad series products.

’s wide and sturdy bottom plate ensures solid support, allowing you to trust it with your beloved laptop or tablet.

The tray (officially called the panel) and its lower edge have anti-slip silicone strips . This is also the part in direct contact with the notebook D shell and the bottom. The silicone strips also prevent scratches on the back of the laptop or tablet. Products such as the iPad Pro have aluminum alloy casings, which can easily leave scratches if you are not careful.

In addition, the wide X-shaped slots, which lift the notebook as a whole away from the desktop, also promote air circulation, improve the notebook's heat dissipation, and reduce fan noise. On the side of the

base that is in contact with the desktop, there are four large round silicone pads distributed in the four corners to increase friction and ensure that the entire stand is placed stably on the desktop. Even if you type at high frequency, it will not slide easily, allowing users to Can be used with peace of mind.

product assembly is also very simple. You only need to use the included hexagonal wrench and screws to fix the base and the main body together.

First, let’s take a look at the pitch adjustment of the tray. This adjustment requires both hands to do it, which shows that the tray is very stable.

[Reminder]: Although the adjustment range of the pitch angle is very large, the tray only has two protrusions on the lower edge of one side (the left side in the video), which can support laptops and tablets. Be careful not to overdo it or turn it upside down. .

Let’s look at the height adjustment of the tray. Loosen the handle on the column cover to adjust the height. There is a spring assist inside the column, which makes adjustment more labor-saving and prevents the pallet from suddenly falling due to load when the handle is released.

[Reminder]: When adjusting the pitch or lift, it is recommended not to carry a load and adjust the laptop stand when it is idle to avoid accidentally dropping the laptop or tablet.

Then there is the rotation function, which is also my main requirement for choosing this notebook stand. The tray can be rotated 360°, which makes it convenient for us to display and communicate with colleagues and customers; or we can adjust a more comfortable viewing angle when using it at home without having to move the entire stand around. After rotating to the appropriate position, the handle can be tightened to fix it.

We put the LG gram notebook on the stand to experience the flexible rotation function. Compared with the previous stand, this one is indeed more practical and convenient.

Laptop bag

LG gram I bought a new phone and took great care of it. The original manufacturer gave me a transparent keyboard protective film. I also need a laptop bag for carrying and protecting when I go out.

selected this 16-inch portable bag. Because notebooks are ultra-thin and light, from the perspective of thinness, lightness and portability, laptop bags are also chosen to be thin and light.

is made of lightweight fabric and weighs only 250g, which is equivalent to the weight of a mouse.

Green Link laptop bag adopts triple shock-absorbing structure. The surface layer of

is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant high-density Oxford cloth fabric, which is splash-proof and can be wiped away by water droplets and raindrops.

There is an pearl cotton compartment in the middle, which can effectively resist external impact and vibration and properly protect your phone.

What we see in the picture is the third layer, which is lined with soft crystal velvet to avoid scratching the outer shell of the device.

Here you can also see the design of the trolley strap on the back. When you go out, you can drag it with the trolley case to reduce the burden.

has a layered design in storage structure, making it easy to take in and out. The outer pocket can store mouse, power supply, data cable and other accessories.

Lightweight wear-resistant material , double stitching reinforcement, durable.

There are some tips for choosing a laptop bag: carefully look at the zipper pull, stitching and workmanship, and you can quickly judge its quality based on the details.

Judging from the product specifications and details, this notebook bag is compatible with notebook models of all major brands, and you can choose the appropriate size.

LG gram uses a larger 16:10 aspect ratio screen. Before buying it, I was a little worried that it wouldn’t fit in.

In addition, the size of this bag is compact enough. I tried it and after putting it in my laptop, this bag can also fit into my daily commuting backpack. It is equivalent to folding the handle and it can be turned into an inner bag .
