The LG gram 15 carries out the firm’s legacy of ultra-light, large-screen laptops with style and impressive engineering. However, there are other, more versatile options out there that do more for less and are just as stylish.

The new LG gram lineup is impressive insofar as weight and portability are concerned. We can't think of any notebooks in their respective categories that even come close to the weight of these gram notebooks. It is all the more impressive when you consider that despite being so thin and light, LG hasn't sacrificed much in the way of usability and practicality. These notebook all have full-size USB and HDMI ports.

LG’s latest 15.6-inch Gram is incredibly light, but it falls behind when it comes to itsdisplay quality. It’s ideal if you value weight above all else, but you’ll likely be better off with a slightly heavier competitor.

Overall, the new gram notebooks are easily the lightest and most portable notebooks that we have ever tested. Some old problems still remain, but if portability is your utmost priority, the gram notebooks are pretty hard to beat. They offer a lot of portability, but with relatively very little compromises.

LG Gram 15Z975

LG has unveiled new LG Gram laptop systems with Intel’s 8th generation processors. The manufacturer is providing users with ultra-lightweight touchscreen laptops in two different screen sizes offering both a 13.3 and a 15.6-inch version. The LG Gram 15Z975 laptop is equipped with a 60 Wh battery capable of providing up to 11.8 hours of use from a single charge and weighs just 1.13 kg (2.5 lbs). The sleek metal alloy body of the LG Gram combines advanced nano carbon with magnesium to create a lightweight yet durable housing for the computer that's still beautifully thin at less than 1.78 cm (0.7 inch) thick. The cutting-edge design gives the LG gram laptop a roomy 15.6-inch Full HD IPS touchscreen display. It offers exceptional clarity from virtually any angle and is ideally sized for work or play. For performance and processing power, this LG Gram 15 comes with the 8th generation Intel Core i5-8250U processor, Windows 10 Home, 8 GB RAM, and a 256 GB SSD. There are no discrete GPU options and the processor is unable to maintain its maximum Turbo Boost for very long. The integrated UHD Graphics 620 provides no significant improvements over the HD Graphics 620 found on 7th generation ULV Core ix CPUs. Thus, even the aging GeForce 930MX is almost 60 percent faster than the LG Gram 15. However, fan noise is generally low, and both storage and RAM are surprisingly upgradeable. The ergonomically designed keyboard of the LG Gram is now backlit with adjustable brightness to be easier to use than ever in a variety of different environments, even in darkened rooms. The Gram is one of the few touchscreen-enabled notebooks which do not utilize edge-to-edge glass protection. It relies on thin glossy plastic instead. As a result, the screen feels fragile when tapping with a finger when compared to typical Android tablets or convertible notebooks. The forced glossy panel is also disadvantageous for reducing glare since brightness levels are only average. These cutbacks reduce the overall weight of the system at the cost of rigidity. However, the Gram's Reader Mode provides optimal reading conditions by minimizing unpleasant blue light, thereby reducing eye fatigue. Surprisingly, the Gram 15Z975 is able to incorporate most of the essential ports in spite of its light weight. Its three USB Type-A ports, in particular, are notable as more and more Ultrabooks are dropping this particular feature in favor of thinner form factors. Nonetheless, it would have been great to see a full-size SD reader and USB Type-C charging instead of the proprietary AC adapter port. It is worth noting that the latest Gram 15Z980 refresh has updated the USB Type-C Gen.1 port on the 15Z975 to Thunderbolt 3 for an even wider range of connectivity options.

Half the weight of the XPS 15. How light can a 15-inch notebook get? The LG Gram 15 dares to be the lightest in the world at just over 1 kg, but the system is not without some missing bells and whistles commonly found on most other Ultrabooks.

If you're in the market for a premium clamshell laptop that's engineered for productivity, super-light, and won't break on you, look no further than the LG gram.

LG Gram 15Z980 review: It's rich and thin, and its battery doesn't stop
Source: Good Gear Guide English

Archive.org version
The 15-inch LG Gram isn't the fastest 8th-generation quad-core laptop we've tested, but it's certainly one of the lightest, and its stellar battery life makes up for its modest performance shortfalls. The Gram's cramped keyboard takes getting used to, however, and budget-conscious laptop shoppers may balk at the $2,000 price tag.

The LG gram 15 might look and feel the same as before but comes with a number of upgrades including 8th-gen Intel, more storage, a fingerprint scanner and Thunderbolt 3. It's amazingly light and offers excellent battery life too. However, all of this comes at a very high price (especially in the UK) and you can get similar packages at much lower cost with laptops like the Microsoft Surface Laptop and Lenovo Yoga 920.

While many manufacturers compete as to who can create the smallest and thinnest laptop, the LG Gram series vows to be the lightest. The new LG Gram 15 weighs just over a kilogram (~2.2 pounds), which is one of the lightest 15-inch notebooks currently on the market. Find out in this review what else the LG Gram 15 offers besides its weight, and what limitations there are with a 15-inch device that is this light.

All in all, there are definitely good reasons to grab the gram 15, particularly if mobility is a priority for you, thanks to how light it is and how long the battery lasts. It usually costs $1,999 with a 1TB SSD, but that variant is currently discounted to $1,699 on LG's website, making it a much better deal.
