LG - gram 2-in-1 14" Touch-Screen Laptop - Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - 512GB Solid State Drive - Dark Silver

Premium laptop here. I moved to this LG Gram from a 15 in 2 in 1 Dell. Grant it, this is about 2x the price I paid for the Dell a couple years ago, but it is simply a fabulous machine. This unit is durable, very light and looks very clean. Speed: With the Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB Memory & 512GB Solid State Drive this 2 in 1 really screams. This is my first run at a laptop with an i7 and I am loving it. It has been very snappy at every task I have thrown at it. Watching Hulu and other videos look great. Speakers: Speakers are alright for a thin laptop, located on the bottom toward the front, not real loud, but I usually use Bluetooth headphones or speaker anyway. Screen: The high def screen (1920 x 1080) resolution has a great picture and color quality. Text is nice and sharp as well. The screen is made of scratch-proof Corning Gorilla Glass as well, so it is also tough. Keyboard: The keyboard has a nice feel with backlit keys. There are 2 brightness settings. I do wish there was a slightly brighter setting though. There is a power button to the right of the ‘Delete’ key and has a great fingerprint reader. This is one of my favorite features. Connections / Ports: You get one USB Type C 3.1 port, two USB Type A 3.1 ports and headphone jack. You also have an HDMI Standby button and mini SD card slot. Thank you LG for at least 2 standard USB slots! Power plug feels slightly wimpy. I worry about long term durability. LG could take a page out of Dells book here and use a larger connection with light up cord. Battery Life: Battery life is fantastic. I have not used it consistently for a whole day, but I believe it will go 7-8 hours. Pen: LG bundles its Stylus Pen to help you handle all your writing and drawing needs. This pen functions very well and it a nice add on for tablet mode. The only drawback is there is no place to store it. Not sure why companies overlook this feature. Wi-Fi: The Wi-Fi is fantastic. Did a test on my home Wi-Fi and got a full 200+ Mbps download. Pros: Light Weight Fast Great battery life Tough Included Pen Cons: Maybe the keys could light up a little more. Power plug feels slightly wimpy. I worry about long term durability. No Pen attachment Conclusion: I hope I didn’t miss anything in the review above. I will say this is a great, lightweight and tough 2-in-1 laptop. Great for personal or business use. Normally you get either power and all the extra’s but have to settle for terrible battery life, with this LG gram you get it all with excellent battery life. I would highly recommend.

This LG gram is a premium ultrabook computer that is thin and light without compromising battery life and features. The nanocarbon magnesium full metal body and the design make this device thin, extremely light and rigid. The model "gram" was chosen to reflect that its weight is about 1 kilogram. The lightweight does not compromise the premium features like battery life and performance. The main components: Intel's 8th generation Core i7 processor, 16 GB memory and a 512 GB solid state drive provides maximum high-efficiency, power, and fast speed. The 14-inch HD monitor is a great size to work and easy mobility. Its touch screen is responsive with good contrast and excellent brightness. The screen is shiny, but the brightness helps counteract the reflections. The speakers are on the bottom sides, and at the max volume, the sound is acceptable without any weird laptop vibrations. What makes this laptop an excellent portable device is its battery life. Working outside on the field, I have not had an issue with running out of battery power. It lasts a long time. Other important features: It can easily convert into a tablet mode and back again to laptop mode. The power button has a fingerprint scanner embedded for secure account login. I like that the camera is on top of the monitor; other laptops are under the monitor which the angle of view tends to chow more chin and nose hair. The mouse pad is responsive, large enough, and not in the way whenever I am typing. The mouse clicking does not make a loud sound. Ports and accessories: Waco AES pen, which works well for designers, 2 regular USB, 1 USB-C, an HDMI, Micro SD slot, AUX for audio, cable lock slot, and an Ethernet adapter that connects to the USB-C port. I am delighted with my new premium ultrabook. It is very thin, ultra light and powerful

I was pleasantly surprised with the LG Gram 2-in-1 14 inch. When it arrived I was amazed at how light and how snappy this computer was. Upon opening and working with it, I had a problem with the Stylus Pen that accompanied it. When I inserted the AAAA battery, the cap would not screw in all the way and it eventually got stuck where I couldn't even remove it. I contacted Best Buy/LG and they immediately sent me a replacement Stylus so I can work with. You can operate this laptop in either Computer or tablet mode. With Windows 10, the Tablet option works best. Again, after a few weeks here are my initial thoughts: Pros: -The weight. At 2.5 lbs this is amazingly light. You notice it when I was working in bed with it, especially when holding it with one hand in tablet mode. Compared to my 15.6 laptop, this rests comfortably in my hands. -Speed. The model I was working with is 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8565U processor. comes with 16GB of memory. This is lightening fast and was so amazed at how snappy this laptop was. No lag whatsoever and worked effortlessly when multiple windows and apps opened. -Stylus Pen. Besides the snafu with the pen, it works great, good feel in my hand and responsive when using it with Photo shop or signing documents. -Battery Life: 72Wh of battery which, according to the website, should give me about 21 hours of life. I am averaging around 18 before I have to recharge it and that means working on it constantly. I LOVE the battery life that I am receiving with this product. -Ports: this comes with USB-A x2 and a USB-C port. There is also a microSD slot and an HDMI access. I still use a plug-in wireless mouse, not a wifi one, so the USB-A port is great to have. Cons: -Hard Drive size: with only 512GB SSD, that is not a whole lot of space left. Windows itself takes nearly HALF of the space and i am not happy with that. -microSD slot: when you insert the card, it sticks out that with the slightest touch it will dislodge. That was highly annoying. (See photo) Overall, this is a very fast, compact 2-in-1 laptop.

I did not have high expectations for this laptop because LG does not make many laptops. However, they do make great products and this far exceeded my expectations. Overall this laptop is a great product but not without a few flaws. Starting with the design of the computer, this is possibly my favorite part of the entire computer. The body is made out of military grade aluminum. I have used a lot of different medal body design laptops and most of them scratch, collect finger prints, get extremely cold, and dent easily. The design of this laptop is not the case at all. It is extremely durable and my favorite part is that it is not a fingerprint magnet. The laptop is extremely light weight however in my opinion it is a little bigger than I believe it could be. It is a very skinny laptop however not the skinniest I have seen compared to similar designs. This becomes apparent when you fold it back into tablet mode it just seems a little bulky. The screen is a beautiful screen. Again it is not the highest resolution but it still looks extremely nice. The gorilla glass is a nice touch and you can actually see how thick it is. I believe this makes it extremely more resistant however it does not seem like it is that thick while looking at it or using the touch screen. The last part of design I will talk about is the included accessories. It was really surprising that a pen and dongle were included in the box. The pen is high quality and most computers would charge and sell this type of item separately. I am not an artist however this pen feels really nice to the hand and works great in many different types of applications. The dongle that is included is a USB-c to Ethernet cable which is a nice additions since most laptops of this size do not include an Ethernet port. Battery life is always a huge thing when it comes to portable computers. This laptop promised industry leading battery life and I was very excited to test this out. I was unfortunately disappointed by this. I got about 7-10 hours battery life just doing normal tasks on the computer which I found to be abnormal. Hopefully more tests to follow will yield better results. Last aspect of testing was the performance of this laptop. The larger 500 gb SDD definitely makes a difference. This allows you to have plenty of storage for apps and programs while still having room to store some data. The built in I7 CPU has plenty of power to do any everyday task that is needed. I would not recommend trying to game on this laptops however it is plenty to run most any programs. It was really nice that this laptop includes 16 GBs of ram as well. Overall I believe the components far exceed the needs of anyone looking for this type of laptop which is a bonus. Overall, this is a great laptop for someone who wants the perfect balance between portability and productivity. When you combine a great design with powerful components it makes for a great laptop. I highly recommend this to anyone who travels and needs a portable and powerful laptop for business or creativity purposes.

This laptop is incredibly polished. It just looks and feels great. It's light, has a superb battery life, a convenient fingerprint reader, a rich display, a tiny power brick, and a convenient stylus. If you are in the market for a 2-in-1 device, you really can't go wrong with this one. I wasn't aware LG made PCs, but this device definitely got my attention. It has exceeded my expectations and I can't recommend it highly enough. There are a lot of 2-in-1 laptops. For me, this device is set apart by its style and the storage. The 512gb storage and the 16GB of Ram are an excellent addition. The computer boots up fast and multitasks very well. It truly feels like an iPad replacement done right. You get the convenience of a light tablet with a bigger screen and a fully featured operating system. It's a fast computer out of the box and, if you want, you can always add a micro-sd card for more document, music, or photo storage. The stylus works great. It comes with replacement heads and a tool to replace them. The screen and the pen did a great job recognizing the pressure I was putting on the stylus to make lines thicker or darker. It works out of the box (once you install the battery) and really could not be any simpler. The laptop sacrifices 4K for a FHD 1080P display that supports HDR video in Windows 10, but I don't feel like that is a problem. At this size, I can't tell much of a difference and with that sacrifice in screen resolution, you get a faster device. A few tips: First, there are two audio performance apps included. The DTS app does a good job improving the sound for the whole device and isn't just a headphone mixer as I originally thought. Second, the pre-installed LG app provides allows you to change many settings including the keyboard back light toggle. For the first day, I didn't even realize the keyboard had lighting. There are plenty of wonderful 2-in-1 devices made by HP, Dell, Lenovo, and others, but I would highly recommend the LG gram. It's one of the most polished laptops available.

My first impression of the LG gram was how feather light it is however; unfortunately, the light weight has a cheap feel in my opinion. I have an HP Spectre,2016 model that looks and feels premium! Also, it has brought me great results. While, I know and understand these are two vastly different computers because of make, model, performance and appearance, yet they both are ultra books. The following are some areas worth noting about the LG Gram: Setup-I love the initial setup that is provided, compliments of Cortana who truly is a great assistant from biographical information, account setup/s, login info, etc.. This artificial intelligence truly leaves no stones unturned and performs at a highly efficient rate! Ports-LG has included some great ports such as HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, Headphone jack, ethernet connector to name a few. There ports serve for multiple purposes that users may have. Performance-The Gram boots up and shuts down at a speedy rate. I found the gram to handle opening of multiple windows efficiently. The gram handles opening of multiple windows at an efficient rate. I haven’t experienced any sluggish performance or lag in the Gram thus far. Storage-I am blown away that the GRAM offers 512 gb of SSD along with 16 gb of memory. I am certain that this computer will meet my needs for future proof purposes. Keyboard-The keyboard which is lighted feels pretty tactile and sturdy. However, in comparison to the Spectre which has keys that feel exceptional to one’s fingers. Pen-I found the Wacom pen that accompanies the Gram to be very intuitive and user-friendly. If you’re are a graphics illustrator or sketcher, you’ll truly appreciate what this pen offers. Screen-the Gram has a 1920X1080 resolution with FULL HD which offers a decent picture. However, at the price point, I would have like to have seen a better resolution offered. Audio-The audio performance on this laptop is decent, but not strong as I thought it would be being that this laptop is of premium design and performance. I have observed upon notification of E-mail messages; sound is sort of faint and this is at maximum volume. Battery Life-LG claims 21 hours of battery life. I discovered after a full charge, I am only able to get 10 hours of battery life which is decent. Overall, I think LG hasn’t done enough to make this a true top contender and this is in comparison to a nearly 3-year-old model that I have. Computers are supposed to deliver faster performance and features. However, I don’t see a single thing or things that make this laptop a WOW factor that I can say tech has made a major stride.

This touch screen laptop is hands down the best laptop I have ever owned. I am so very impressed with it. Up until this point, I have always owned laptops that had standard HDDs and nothing above an Intel Core i5 processor. Let me tell you, there IS a difference between an Intel Core i5 and the Core i7. The very first thing that stands out to me is the fact that this computer turns on and is ready to be used in about 9 seconds! That is super fast and I can really appreciate that after every other laptop I have used taking in the upwards of 2 minutes or more to fully turn on (sometimes longer). This is surely due to the SSD instead of the HDD. I will NEVER get another laptop that does not have a SSD. You cannot beat the performance. I can use photo editing applications on this laptop that used to take several minutes to load up on my other laptops. Now, applications load in seconds. Do not let the smaller screen size fool you, this is a very functional size and I in no way regret choosing the smaller screen size. This laptop is so much more functional and portable due to the smaller form factor. This laptop folds the screen to turn into a tablet and it also comes with a stylus! The stylus is very accurate and definitely makes editing photos a breeze. The keyboard has a back light which has two different brightness adjustments which is nice for working in dim light. I also love the battery life, this thing sips power and lasts for hours before needing to be charged again! This laptop also comes with an adapter to allow a network cable to be plugged in. I do not know if this is really necessary due to the shift of everyone using wifi, but I guess it is a nice touch just in case you need a wired connection. The laptop also has a fingerprint reader conveniently hidden inside the power button! I love not having to type in a password to log on! I have only one negative that I noticed with this laptop. It does NOT have a standard sized SD card slot. It only has a microSD card slot. This will be frustrating for people who still used the standard size as they will most likely have to purchase a separate USB adapter of some kind. All in all, this laptop is awesome and if you purchase it you will NOT be disappointed!

This one caught my eye because it’s only 2.2 lbs. I was surprised to find how light the power brick is too. It’s made out of plastic to get the weight down. It also helps this laptop PC is running the latest 8th generation i7 processor, has 16 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD. FHD 1080p display nice And battery life up to 17.5 hours is good although I get approx. 12-14 hours as I’m always on the internet. Touchpad is a little stiff but no problem hurting my arm. PC is built to MIL standards so more durable than most laptops on the market now. Speakers better than most laptop PC’s I’ve had. More bass is much appreciated. Light enough to flip over into a tablet but tent or stand mode more appealing to me. I tried the included pen on MS One Note. OK but probably won’t use it much. Fingerprint reader a handy sign in feature. And very reliable to use too. Personally I like the color of this machine. It’s an enduring classic. It was slow going getting set up. Booting up, setting up fingerprint reader and creating a recovery drive on a USB 2.0 flash drive. Think I’ll buy a USB Type C flash drive and try again. Recommend this laptop to folks who are always on the go. Or anyone that wants a light and powerful laptop.
