Reviews for the LG gram Pro 17Z90SP

The LG Gram Pro 17 is primarily meant for creative professionals who want a machine strong enough to handle their work. This is made clear by the hardware configuration and the high-res display. Of course, you can use it for more general tasks; however, the shallow keyboard and ultra-light form factor definitely aren't for everyone. Finally, this laptop's price tag might make it a tough sell: the Gram Pro 17 currently goes for $2,499 on LG's website. Keep in mind, you can opt for a less powerful configuration to bring the price down, but it won't decrease all that much. This is a price point that proves that committing to an ultra-portable form factor does have a cost -- and whether or not that's worth it is up to you. For similar options, check out our Best Laptops for Graphics Designers list. We recommend the Dell XPS 15 for a smaller price point and comparable hardware.

The 2024 LG gram Pro 17 suffers a huge reversal of fortune. This former Editor’s Choice winner has fallen to the rear of the pack. LG’s decision to stick with the RTX 3050 is the root of the problem. Last year, before the Intel Core Ultra series debuted, the RTX 3050 more than doubled performance over Intel’s Iris Xe integrated graphics. But the launch of Arc graphics brought an integrated upgrade that reduces the RTX 3050’s advantage. The result is a $500 upgrade that’s hardly an upgrade at all. LG’s mistake is worsened by the fact that most competitors, like the Dell XPS 17 and Apple MacBook Pro 16 M3, have received a graphics upgrade since then. In a strange twist of fate, the Intel Core Ultra also hurts the gram Pro 17’s relative processor performance.

This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
