The Latest LG Gram 17-inch Computer, Only 3 Pounds

LG has launched two new laptops, and the Gram 17 looks like an amazing one. Weighing only 3 pounds, this is crazy for notebooks with 17-inch displays. This is the same as the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar.

LG Gram 17 Specifications

Usually a 17-inch laptop weighs 6 to 6.5 pounds, so getting such a big screen in such a lightweight package is not a trivial matter.

Does this mean specifications? Do not. LG claims that the 15 x 10.5 x 0.7-inch Gram 17 includes the 8th generation Intel Core i7-8565U with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD. (There is also an extra SSD slot).

The Gram 17's 72W battery lasts up to 19.5 hours, and once we put our hands on the laptop, we will test it.

Other highlights include a 2560 x 1600-pixel display with an aspect ratio of 16:10, a fingerprint reader and a chassis that is MIL-STD-810G compliant, meaning it should handle vibration, dust and extreme temperatures.

Gram 17 offers Thunderbolt 3 for connecting high-speed peripherals, precision glass touchpads and backlit keyboards. The headphone jack supports DTS Headset X for analog 11.1 channel sound.

The recommended price for the LG Gram 17 is $1,699.99.

LG Gram 2 in 1

The LG Gram combo has less detail, but it looks like a capable convertible. The system features a 14-inch touch screen that can be used in tablet or laptop mode and is MIL-STD-810G compliant. The panel itself uses the durable Gorilla Glass 5.

Internally, you'll find the 8th generation Gen Core i7-8565U processor with up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD. 12.8 x 8.3 x 0.7 inches 2 and 1 weight 2.53 lbs.

The LG includes a Wacom AES 2.0 pen with 4,096 pressure ratings and tilt detection, as well as a 72-watt battery that is rated for 21 hours.

Nowadays, the collection of electronic products is getting higher and higher, which also indicates that notebooks will be more and more light. LG is also constantly exploring this aspect.
