Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have looked all around for the lightest possible laptop since I lug around in my backpack all day in school. I've found it. Nothing out there with 14" screen comes this light. Lenovo X1 Carbon comes close. This laptop has long battery life (15+ hrs) quality parts, brilliant LG display, and looks very nice in white. The Intel quad core i5 processor is a very decent performer that does all I need for school. The laptop casing is made of nano carbon magnesium which is super light and it's tough, who needs aluminum, that is so yesterday!

wanted a laptop with a long battery life. This has it. Easy all day usage and still have battery left. Use internet, blue tooth and Wi-Fi. What I wanted. Bonus weighs 2 1/2 pounds. Enough ram and though a small SSD drive enough storage for my needs. Recommended for others to buy.

MY IT recommended this laptop when my 3 years old laptop was struggling to handle my heavy projects . I got this one and setup was a breeze. It is quite and I can do all my works without getting interrupted with freeze or restarts.

I’m a full time student and I love this laptop! I love the battery life, backlit keyboard lights, size, and weight. it’s perfect

Wanted a computer not made in china, which was very hard to find. Would prefer one made in USA but could not find one. So I settled on Tiawan since they hate China.

Very good machine. Battery life is amazing! Only power brick is very hot

Very light laptop. Fast too. Gonna have to see how it does after I make a few upgrades.

This is the best laptop I have ever owned. I absolutely love it.

Got this as open box, in excellent condition as promised. This is among the very lightest laptops available, just 2.2 lbs for this 14-inch model. (There are also 13-, 15-, and 17-inch models available.) Performance: This has the latest Whiskey Lake processor - i5-8265U. Performance is excellent for everyday tasks, but with integrated graphics only, it's not meant for gaming. Everything feels snappy thanks to the SSD, but note that it's a SATA drive, not the faster PCIe NVME kind. Still, in everyday use it's hard to tell any difference. Connectivity: In addition to wifi and Bluetooth (Intel, so it's reliable), there are 2 USB-A ports, 1 USB-C, 1 HDMI, and micro SD slot. The USB-C port on this does not support Thunderbolt, but it does support Power Delivery and DisplayPort. The laptop comes with a barrel-type (proprietary) power adapter, but my 45W ZMI USB-C charger worked fine. The computer comes with an Ethernet dongle. Many heavier laptops don't have this many useful ports, and you end up carrying a bunch of dongles. Kudos to LG. Construction: LG says the chassis is made from magnesium alloy. As with other magnesium alloy laptops I've used, they feel a bit plasticky compared to to the aluminum found in most premium laptops. But those typically weigh around 3 lbs. Battery life: The 72 WHr battery has nearly twice the capacity of most notebooks this size (making it all the more incredible that LG managed to make it so light). 8-10 hours of normal use seems no problem. There's a setting in the LG Control Center to only charge the battery to 80%, which will give it better longevity than charging to 100%. Display: Vibrant colors and can get more than bright enough. No touch on this model, but I didn't need touch anyway. The screen is glossy (not the glossiest I've seen though); I would've preferred matte. Upgrades: Surprisingly upgradable, but I've only read about what's possible, haven't opened it up myself yet. RAM is 8GB, but unfortunately 4GB is soldered, with 4GB occupying the other slot. So if you want to upgrade it, you'll have to throw out 4GB. And if put 8GB or 16GB in the slot, it won't operate in full dual-channel mode. The m.2 slot supports NVME drives, so I plan to swap in a larger NVME drive. All in all, an amazingly portable package. The lightness and battery life are a great combination for road warriors. If you need something as light as possible but still gives the full power of a quad-core 8th-gen processor, the LG Gram is a great choice.

This is a powerful computer in a compact size; sleek with a great touch.
