Look and feel: You take the good with the bad Specs at a glance: 13.3" LG Gramġ920×1080 IPS touchscreen at 13.3" (166 PPI)Ģ.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-7200U (Turbo up to 3.1GHz)Ģx USB 3.0, 1x 5Gbps USB-C, HDMI, microSD card reader, headphonesġ2.1" x 8.3" x 0.6" (307.3 x 210.8 x 15.2mm) In practice, the Gram does many things well, but it falls short in just enough ways to keep it from being a universal recommendation. We haven’t historically paid much attention to LG’s laptops, but the Gram caught my eye because of its decent starting price ($899 for a non-touchscreen model with a Core i5, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage) and its surprisingly light weight (2.07 pounds/0.94kg, particularly low for a 13-inch laptop). So purchasing decisions and recommendations increasingly come down to the little things.Įnter the LG Gram. A thin-and-light design, a nice IPS screen, a non-terrible keyboard and trackpad, and a good (and/or forward-looking) port selection can all be expected from a high-end laptop these days.

That means that sweating the details is more important than ever.
