LG gram 16” Lightweight Laptop, Intel 13th Gen Core i7 Evo Platform, Windows 11 Home, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, Black

Note: I got the 16 (blazing ddr5) /256/Xe model with 2560 x 1600 IPS, Evo 12th Gen i7 1260P. I've been buying portable computers since my Kaypro, and as a road warrior, laptops since my Toshiba T-1000. I've also got kids and a wife who used to work in design. So in addition to building PCs I have bought a LOT of laptops, easily over 50 over the past 35 years. But my now dying Thinkpad lasted so long that it has been six years since I bought one for myself. I got a chance to see this LG Gram in store and really first fell in love with the screen. It is bright, has great resolution. I also love the weight and form factor of this machine. It has a very sleek professional look and doesn't look like some plastic masquerading as an advanced alloy. Despite its sleek thinness there is virtually no flex at the palms or hinge. It has the ports I want as well. It has two USB C, both thunderbolt 4, as opposed to a single setup that I have to spend a lot of money to get a better two USB C hub/dock, nevermind the mess that would happen should I kill one port, and two USB-A 3.2. The balance of CPU and ram is optimal. Win 11 pro runs great. Before buying I wanted to make sure I could do some upgrading, so I watched some Youtubes. I already cloned boot, and swapped in a 1TB Samsung 980 as boot. I will probably swap out the original 256 to a 2tb in a year and have 3tb total. Keyboard has good action. Speakers are good as well. For my entire experience buying laptops, prices went down and capabilities went up relentlessly every year. So it was a shock when I started looking last month, given how the chip shortage has made an expensive mess for buyers. This was exactly mid budget for me. I am using the machine a fair amount, four to five hours a day and will return to note any issues should they arise. At this point I am very happy with this machine. It is a excellent combination of function and form.

The 16" screen is perfect. I have the 17" but it barely fits in my backpack. The 16" is much better. It has a non-glare screen, a 1TB SSD, a 13th Gen i7 CPU, and weighs just over 2.6 lbs. And a 19.5 hour battery. I've owned about a dozen laptops, and I can tell you, the difference between this and a 15.5" Dell (Acer, HP, Lenovo, ...) is enormous. You wouldn't think that those extra 3-5lbs would be that important, but they are to me, and I've been a weight-lifter for 50 years. If I broke mine, I'd buy another one tomorrow. It's critical if you're gonna travel with it.

This laptop is Is the pinnacle of LG gram laptops. It is sturdy with a metallic alloy alloy feeling to it. It comes with the Intel core i7 12th generation 1260P processor, 16gb ddr5, IPS 16” screen, 256gb of ssd. NOT touchscreen. Graphics are powered by intel xe- which can easily keep up with most graphic demand but don’t expect to play any new titles. It’s still very light, coming in 2.6 lbs. At a price of $1000usd I feel like it should have at least 512gb of space. The keyboard is nice and reactive. It has a number pad which definitely helps with productivity. They keyboard does smudge easily tho. Fan is quite and unlike previous model it has a vent at the bottom. The fan speed and reaction can adjusted by the lg software. The lg software can also just the battery to charge at 80% at all times. Preserving battery life. All in all it’s a great mobile work lap top that can do light gaming and handle big programs like photoshop without any hick ups. Can you find betters specs with similar Price. Sure you can but it won’t be 2.6 pounds which is the main selling point of a LG gram.

It's very light, very fast, and has an impressively long battery life. What more could you want? It's not a gaming laptop. And it's not the easiest to upgrade: Memory is soldered in with no additional slots. There is room for an extra M2 but the entire bottom of the case needs to be removed to get to it (incl. all of the glued-on rubber feet. But the 16GB it does have should be plenty for anyone using it for most anything short of gaming and "content creation". It only has integrated graphics anyways so that's not what you'd use it for. What it's good for... browsing the internet, streaming videos, and all the other general use and productivity tasks... it's GREAT for. If you want a gaming laptop, this (obviously) isn't it. If you want a light, fast, efficient, quiet, cool, and refined laptop for general use, this is definitely a great option.

Purchased this for use as a university student as well as some light gaming. There is something seriously wrong with this computer when after a couple months of use it crashes basic apps such as Word, can’t handle three apps open at once (Chrome with 10 tabs, Word, Outlook), cannot reboot (froze multiple times), cannot launch task manager, and consistently uses nearly 100% of its CPU and over 70% of memory when doing simple tasks. Glad I bought the extended warranty. It’s a piece of garbage. I did like how light it is and how fast it charges, but that does not make up for the issues described above. Also screen wobbles a lot and has too much glare. Had to adjust the brightness setting in Intel actually as default settings were way too bright. Just ask yourself this— Why spend over $1,000 on this computer if it could have serious issues within months? Don’t waste your money. Cannot emphasize this enough.

Outstanding choice for a lightweight laptop. I have recommended it to everyone I know needing a great choice for travel and everyday use. Loads of space, easy to setup and use, hdmi, usb and c-charger ports for all your needs. Even has a spot for your micro sd card. Battery lasts a long while too. Great value for a laptop.
