gram (2022) 17Z90Q Ultra Lightweight Laptop, 17" (2560 x 1600) IPS Display, Intel Evo 12th Gen i7 1260P Processor, 16GB LPDDR5, 1TB NVMe SSD, FHD Webcam, WiFi 6E, Thunderbolt 4, Windows 11, Black

I bought the original LG Gram 17 back in 2019 and loved it. I didn't really need the upgrade as the old one was still great, but I like to upgrade and sell my old laptops/phones while they still have value.I hate working on small screens when I travel or work out of my office. Nothing else really comes close to the Gram 17 as most 17" laptops are gaming monstrosities with 16:9 screens. This is still the best portable laptop for productivity by far in my mind.- Beautiful 16:10 17 inch screen at a sane resolution- Plenty fast enough for what I do- Super lightI had a lot of problems with the wifi when I first set it up and I'm not sure if that was a Windows 11 or network adapter issue. Luckily I had a USB wifi dongle handy and after some driver updates and troubleshooting it's solid now.Battery life could always be better but it's decent for such a large screen. I wish laptop manufacturers would stop the lies with "12.5 hours of nonstop power and get up to 19.5 hours of video playback". Lol, who are you trying to kid? I get about 6hrs at 50% brightness mostly working within chrome including google sheets (which is admittedly a drain).I can't speak to the keyboard and trackpad as I'm always using it with a roost laptop stand and BT keyboard and mouse. I'm waiting for the day someone makes just a big portable (perhaps foldable) screen with an inbuilt stand so I can sit it at eye level and use an external mouse and kb. Until then I'll be using an LG Gram 17.

This is the second time I have bought an LG Gram laptop after my most satisfying experience with the 2016 15" version of it - no problem whatsoever and still working fine when plugged in. I am an electronics professional, and this laptop does everything I need except big simulations, where I use corporate mainframe machines. Other than reliability and screen resolution/brightness, the biggest attraction for me has been and still is its lightweight, a most precious quality when moving around and traveling. Most probably, people do not buy this computer as expected because they instinctively associate its lightweight with the idea of a "cheap product"..., which is totally wrong. The lightweight of this product does not come from quality shortcuts but from the choice of a lighter yet mechanically strong material for the chassis, a magnesium alloy, and aluminum for the lid. That explains why the LG Gram computers are more expensive that their cheaper and heavier counterparts made by others. For readers' information, I do not play computer games. Actually, I hate wasting my time on games.
