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

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 was torn between this and a Microsoft Surface, and what it came down to for me was the features offered at the value for the dollar. The Gram is a true 2-in-1 and I get all the features I need from a traditional laptop, and I even used it as a true "pen and pad" tablet today and took handwritten notes. Outstanding battery power, very lightweight, and multifunctional, the only con I could scrounge up is that I had to get used to a smaller keyboard and that's a big reach because I have rather large, basically man-sized lady hands. After 7 months of really getting to know this baby, I'd buy it again tomorrow and I've already recommended it many times!

Super thin and lightweight, the ‘gram’ laptop/tablet has superior features. The first feature worth noting is the weight and thickness. Its like carrying around a small paper notebook, but with the power of a desktop computer. Here are the top features useful to me: • Lighted keyboard with multiple dimming levels. Great tactical feedback on keypress. • Speakers located on the sides rather the front. ( great when using the unit in the tent mode so speakers aren’t blocked!) • Selectable start up when case is opened. • Fingerprint sign on for Windows. • Touch Screen with Wacom Pen input (included). Perfect for Windows INK, new screen drawing/markups features . • 8th gen Intel-7 CPU • Large 512-Gb Solid State Drive • USB, HDMI and a type “C” ports, with the ability to use the included wired network cable afdapter • Long battery life. • High speed WiFI and Bluetooth radios.

So far this has been nothing but a great experience for me and the best 2 in 1 laptop I have ever used.The screen is beautiful and very bright the colors are amazing and watching YouTube videos at 4K look great. The panel is only 1080p but the image is still clear.The keyboard feels also good and the track pad is smooth and easy-to-use. So far all around I've had nothing but good experiences with this laptop. Since the model I got has 16 GB of RAM multitasking on this is easy and a breeze for the laptop. I can have multiple tabs open with no problem and run multiple apps with no problem. Best of all the battery last all day!!

This is my first attempt at using LG laptop. I must say that the Gram does not disappoint. Here’s what I like: Well built metal body, beautiful touch screen with vibrant colors, fingerprint sensor in the power button for fast access, plenty of RAM and SSD space for multitasking without lags, long lasting battery, I got three days off and on use before recharge, useful pen but easily misplaced. Lit keyboard for those of us night owls. What I don’t like but are not deal breakers: the Core i7 does not seem to have enough ventilation because it heats the back bottom and the fact that it does not have a LAN port though it comes with a UBS3 adapter. I love it because of its long lasting battery and speed.

|First Impressions| Nice! When I opened the box and took out the laptop from the sleeve, I was excited. It felt like Apple quality but not heavy. It is beautifully made from a solid aluminum body. This could replace my tablet and laptop. It is thin with 16GB of RAM and the latest i7 processor. Snappy and fast to setup after the long initial boot. I think I was done with setup in less than 20 minutes including plugging it in and setting up Windows. The pen is a nice addition, and it feels a lot like an Apple Pencil but with Wacom performance. The charger is a proprietary plug, which I am not a fan of, but they do include USB C/Thunderbolt 3 which can double as a charging port. Speakers are bottom firing and very weak so I recommend headphones. -=|Love|=- +Integrated Fingerprint Sensor - LG has incorporated a reader into the power button that performs well… GENIUS! It works with Windows Hello and makes unlocking your computer super simple. +Design and Build Quality - This laptop oozes elegance and minimalism. +Pen and Touch Screen - I really appreciate the touch screen and note taking ability with this computer. It truly can replace your tablet and current laptop. +Snappy Performance and Boot Up - If you never experienced SSD, you will be in for a treat. This is really fast and you will be spoiled. +Battery Life - I got about 15 hours of confirmed battery life with a bit to spare. +Minimal Bloatware - There isn't much bloatware to speak of. Just LG software functions that link to the keyboard and that is about all. -=|Not So Much|=- -NO GPU - At this price point not even an intel cheapie? -Charger - We are in 2019. You make a laptop with an old charge connector while offering a C/Thunderbolt port? Eliminate the old chargers from 2005 and add another Thunderbolt port. At this price point I would expect at least 2 type C connections. -Pen Battery - With AAAA being their choice, you better hope your replacements are nearby when it finally does go. -Lacks volume buttons - Since this is a 2 in 1, it is trying to replace a tablet or feel like one. When in tablet mode, I find myself looking for volume rockers but there are none. You either have to fold the keyboard into laptop mode and use keyboard for volume, or you can tap the volume icon in the notification area to adjust volume. Not efficient to me. -Speakers - These speakers just sound so weak. Being they are bottom firing doesn't help, but they sound good when you can hear them. Buy yourself a good set of headphones and that is fixed. -=Verdict=- Overall, this is a great laptop that doubles as a tablet. My recommendation is to skip this if you use programs that are CPU intensive and require GPU to work properly. If you are the average user who wants flexibility and function without sacrificing on build, this is for you. This is NOT a gaming laptop so don't even try. This can do Photoshop well but video editing/rendering is a struggle. Content creators look elsewhere since this is lacking in the graphics department.

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.
