LG gram Pro 17-inch Lightweight Laptop Computer, Intel Evo Edition Powered by Intel Core Ultra7 255H Processor, Windows 11 Home, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD - Obsidian Black

Over the past 45 years, my previous computers have been Ohio Scientific, Atari 800, Apple IIGS, and several PCs including HP, Lenovo, and Dell. Of three computers bought about 4 years ago, both a Dell desktop, then an HP laptop were my first computers to actually break, even though they were working well at the time. When I looked at Consumer Reports laptop ratings, I found that in the PC category of owners reports, LG was the most highly reliable brand. Having suffered 2 recent broken computers, I decided to try a much higher priced LG gram Pro16" laptop. It is still too new to say anything about reliability, but its light weight and thin profile are amazing. It was very easy to set up and become part of my small home network. The screen graphics are very impressive, compared with my other computers, being bright and sharp, with brilliant colors. The speed is as good or better than my current desktop 'workhorse'. It has been a pleasure to operate so far. Battery life is excellent, yet it recharges quickly. I participate in some video conferencing and the picture quality is far better than my previous computers. Sound is also very adequate, though I haven't listened to music with it yet. Due to the thin profile, the keyboard is relatively flat, but the large key size makes it easy to type. I shopped around and found a relatively good price on Amazon that turned out to be $100 less than later "black Friday" prices on it, although considerably higher than Dell or HP deals on similarly equipped laptops. I haven't made much use of the included AI features, as I've noticed a couple of bad errors by AI in some browser search summaries, that may be due to other AI than my computer's. If this laptop continues to perform and doesn't break in a few years, I'd say my money was well spent.

Purchased this 17 inch laptop 1 month ago based on a Consumer Reports recommendation. Very fast, lightweight and screen viewing quality is very good. No issues so far.

I got this laptop to replace an old failing machine. The OLED screen is great. Nice color and great contrast. This is a thin and lightweight machine that boots and runs faster than my old machine ever did. Even though the screen is very thin, it doesn't seem flimsy to me. I'm happy with the performance. The Avast AV that comes installed works well, I'm sure, but I'm put off by the constant prodding to pay for an upgrade to premium. I can't fault Avast for that as it seems to be the industry trend to up-sell us for virtually everything. I got this machine in white as it was offered at a great price. It looks great but my only complaint is that backlighting the keys when it's dark in my room works ok but the keys are hard to see if the room gets even low light (white on white). The keys backlight is easy enough to toggle on/off. That said, I would prefer black keys. The version I got has 16GB of DRAM and it runs about 70%. I don't run games or memory hog apps, mainly just a browser with several open tabs. I understand the memory can be upgraded but not something I can do myself. In my old HP laptop, I could open the cover (without tools!) and change the battery, drive, memory, plus clean out dust. It seems most new laptops are not upgradeable. Oh well...

It's fast, and works great. More or less seamless transition from my old PC. It's superlight and superthin. I *love* it! My only complaint is that I can't uninstall McAfee, or even stop its continual processing using the control panel.

Great Product, Good price. Screen, Performance, Connectivity, I'm satisfied.

light weight, long battery life and fast

Laptop froze on me a few times. As I was deleting all information it froze again as it was restarting. Not happy with such an expensive item. Did like the light weight aspect though. The box also came damage with no interior packing. I did a much better job returning laptop.

There is a lot to like about this laptop. It's impossibly light weight, the screen is super sharp, and the battery lasts a full workday. I think for how much money we're dealing with here, it's more important to say what I don't like about it. 1. I spent a half hour finding and removing all the AI nonsense and knocked off a star just for that. It should be a optional install or a very simple one click opt out. This is not a toy computer. 2. The display might be 17" but the bezels are so thin, the chassis dimensions are more of a standard 15" laptop with a number pad shoehorned in. It looks good in pictures and on paper, but that causes problems when typing more than a couple minutes. My hands and shoulders are pointed to the left side of the screen, so I have to turn my head a few degrees to the right in order to see what I'm typing. The ergonomics are not very good. I got around this by moving programs to the left side of the screen and keeping stuff I don't need to look at often to the right side. The number pad should be removed. 3. The track pad is centered to the palm rest to look more visually appealing... but it's completely wrong in relation to the keyboard. When typing normally, my entire right hand is resting over the track pad. I'm constantly tapping the corner and moving the mouse cursor around. I lowered the touch sensitivity in settings but it still does it. The track pad should be centered to the space bar. TL;DR I'm quite peeved at the keyboard and track pad layout.
