![]() LG could make the gram 17 even better by improving some minor things. LG is still king of the 17-inch Ultrabooks. Granted, for use on an airplane, it'll be a challenge, but I regularly use it on the train. With ten-hour battery life, Thunderbolt 3, and a bevy of useful ports, it's a joy to use and carry. At under three pounds, this 17-inch Ultrabook is lighter than many 13-inch PCs. The gram 17 is best suited for creators, writers, photo editors, and anyone who enjoys working on an excellent "2K" display without straining their back. You need big, get this LG gram 17 is still a unique and awesome laptop While there is no rapid-charging like other laptops it gets a decent charge rate in about an hour. Achieving ten hours in real-world usage is realistic, though if you're pushing graphics and the CPU eight hours is more likely.įinally, for charging you can use the Type-C port, but LG includes a 65-watt barrel charger in the box. Performance is only slightly better, but not enough to make a huge impact compared to a discrete GPU from NVIDIA.īattery life is very good though thanks to the slightly larger 80WHr battery. Sure, the Intel Iris Plus GPU is better than the UHD 620, but at least in the gram 17, it doesn't add too much. Where the gram 17 becomes less impressive is under graphics. The top-mounted web camera is also quite decent, excelling at video calls (but just being OK for photos).Įxcellent typing and mousing LG gram 17 keyboard, trackpad, and audio LG, though, is missing on the trend of doing edge-to-edge glass found in more premium designs. The bezel is thin and proportional with a matte finish. Because it's not a touch screen and lighter, opening the lid with one-hand is a breeze. While touch would have been fun, the added weight and cost would have lessened the impact of the gram 17 being so light. The display is still slightly glossy, and there is no touch. Color accuracy is also just a hair better with 99 percent sRGB, 75 percent AdobeRGB, and a respectable 78 percent DCI-P3. Screen brightness is up slightly to 410 nits this year versus just nearing 400 nits last time. LG gram 17 is still the largest (and also one of the lightest) laptops on the planet with few challengers. That's a taller 16:10 aspect ratio, which differs from the traditional 16:9 offered in most laptops (Microsoft prefers an even taller 3:2 aspect for Surface). The gram 17 is unique in being the only 17-inch 2560 x 1600 option on the market.
