Customers express satisfaction with the gram 2-in-1 16” WQXGA Laptop’s long battery life, fast performance, and bright, lightweight display. Users describe the laptop as “the fastest laptop I’ve ever had” and appreciate that it is “bright, fast, light weight, and comfortable.”
I would love this laptop, except for one BIG issue. The microphone. As a student who is taking constant notes and doing quick searches online, the microphone is invaluable. It really saves time. However, the microphone keeps disappearing (see screenshots). I'm constantly checking for updates and restarting my computer because I keep losing the microphone. This happens EVERY TIME I USE IT. When I'm in the middle of studying and have all my notes and windows open and organized, it's extremely frustrating, not to mention a huge waste of time for a student that has no time to waste, to have to restart my computer and open/organize everything all over again. And I sometimes have to restart it twice. And good luck getting help from Best Buy or Geek Squad, especially online. Most of them don't know what they are doing or how to fix any issues. So, if the microphone is a tool that you use frequently, this may not be the laptop for you.

I bought this to replace a 2-in-1 ASUS laptop. This LG is the only thing I have found with close to the same storage (the ASUS had a .5TB SSD and a 2TB HDD). I chose to let it upgrade to Windows 11. Overall this is a great laptop! It is very light and fast, keyboard is firm, and the screen is terrific. I don't use the tablet mode much, but in testing it seems just fine. The speakers are quite good given the space constraints. I miss having an SD slot! It has a slot for a micro, but I still have uses for a standard SD. My biggest gripe is the numeric keypad layout. They squeezed it a bit and therefore had to stack the "/" and "*" keys to a new row. That could very well mess up a user who actually uses the numeric keypad in the conventional way. I use mine the most for sheet music entry, and the layout is taking a while to get used to. I also miss the page-up and page-down keys, but I can see an advantage to integrating those into the 4 arrow keys via use of the Fn key. Maybe I'll get used to it. Battery life seems very good! I have used it for several hours on battery, even while doing video editing (which seemed to burn my ASUS battery quickly) and it seems like I will be much less dependent on the AC cord. So far I have only taken it down to about 40% after these extended sessions. I had a problem with the Alt-Tab functionality, which I think turned out to be a program that failed to install correctly (having nothing to do with these keys, seemingly). I asked LG's Twitter account about it and they gave me the support number for the computer techs. I had to be on hold for about 25 minutes, but I then talked to a very helpful and patient tech. He stepped me through several steps to isolate the problem, and we finally discovered a missing registry entry (later experiments by me seemed to connect this to that failed install). He had me add it and all was well. Afterward the LG-Twitter folks even contacted me to see if my issue was resolved. I think that is the best customer service I have experienced in many years! Since then, I have installed 2 music publishing programs, an OCR-type of music import program, a standard OCR program (ABBY), MS Office, Libra Office, a VERY old version of Paint Shop Pro, and several other programs that I was worried about. They are all working. I would not be hesitant to let it take you to Windows 11. Bottom line is this is a terrific laptop computer!

Great upgrade from my Dell Inspiron with the older i7 chip and also touchscreen. The LG is light much fasters, has twice the storage, much bigger screen and coverts to a tablet (includes the stylus). Quality is very good, very easy to setup, and runs Windows 11. I bought a little docking station and converted my current setup of 2 32" curved monitors, keyboard, mouse, external drive, etc. in minutes. Since the power can plug into my docking station, I only have 1 USB-C plug to unplug and I am portable! So simple, and it handles the change between monitor configuration easily (from laptop only to desktop setup), my old computer would sometimes get confused and require a restart. Note that the 2-TB SSD drive is actually two 1-TB SSDs. Very pleased with this upgrade!
