notebook ii you pick up the LG gram 17

for the first time it is shocking how

light it feels like it's gram cousins it

ends up feeling a little like those

plastic device replicas that they have

in retail stores so that they're real

ones don't get stolen now with that said

this gram is much bigger than the

previous ones at 17 inches and tips the

scales at two point nine five pounds for

about 1.3 kilograms so they're really

pushing the limits of the Grand category

here but it's still closer to one than

it is to two kilograms and regardless of

the numbers most of the big screen

laptops that we deal with are gaming

machines so being able to carry around a

notebook this size without having to

remember Nick V's lifting tips it's just

great unfortunately one of the things

that comes along with lightness in a

machine this large is some loss of the

stiffness and the sturdiness that we

were so impressed by on the most recent

13-inch Graham now to be clear it's

still made out of the same metal alloys

nano carbon with magnesium which sounds

really fancy and high-tech but it feels

a lot like plastic and that means it's

still pretty fingerprint resistant and

durable enough from my experience daily

driving previous grams but the display

in particular is definitely wobblier

than I'd like and like

if you press on it in certain spots it

kind of feels hollow which I guess makes

sense since it does have hollow spots to

save on weight

design-wise the gram 17 is still great

if you like your notebooks plain and

gray but to be clear I'm not knocking

that it's clean looking so it'll

perfectly match your boring briefcase

and it's highly functional while the

webcam still kind of sucks the i/o is a

great mix including full-sized HDMI and

Thunderbolt free with charging support

there's a fingerprint sensor in the

power button you get a full if slightly

squished number pad and the super thin

bezels frame what is in my mind the most

potent feature of the gram 17 it's

utterly massive display well what can I

say about this it doesn't have HDR just

sort of a drag and touch support is gone

unfortunately but it's still got great

color accuracy and viewing angles thanks

to its IPS panel and the resolution has

been boosted from 1080p to 2560 by 1600

which yes is a sixteen by ten aspect

ratio for those of you keeping score at

home this gives both professionals and

creatives a little extra real estate to

work with and while the pixel density is

a bit lower than some other high end

laptops in my opinion 4k screens on

portable devices are mostly wasted

anyway everything from a premiere time

line to an Excel spreadsheet looked nice

and crisp

not to mention big on the gram 17s

display on the subject of premiere

internally the gram 17 is a little more

ultra than LG's previous ultrabooks

the processor got bumped up to an Intel

Core i7 85 65 you with four cores and

eight threads running at 1.8 gigahertz

which means that combined with its 16

gigs of DDR for memory and 512 gig and

the 2 SATA SSD this machine packs way

beefier guts than its weight would seem

to indicate easily powering through

regular office use and even holding its

own for photo and light video editing

now one of the three

18 inches main strengths in fact it's

the feature we liked most in our review

last year is its battery life so then

how does the larger display and faster

processor affect things on the 17-inch

well the last time I checked eight is

not equal to or greater than ten so

there was definitely an impact but

honestly that's still a really solid

result and other features that continue

to rock on mcgrann include the keyboard

with a nice tactile feel and despite the

short travel distance and the trackpad

which is quite good even if there's

still room to make it bigger opening up

the bottom by removing the rubber feet

and these annoying little plastic

sticker things we find the reason for

the reduction in battery life this seems

to be the same 72 watt hour battery as

the 15-inch we wouldn't have minded

seeing that bumped up a little bit in

here we've also got an extra m2 slot for

expansion and then that's about it

you think LG might have added another

Ram slot larger speakers or even more

cooling to fill out the extra space a

bit but then again I guess if it ain't

broke you don't fix it and the Graham

neither thermal throttled nor got loud

throughout our testing so should you

upgrade to the latest and largest Graham

well for the same price as this thing or

even less actually you could make any

number of compromises on internal specs

build quality and most of all wait if

you were to go with something else but

the fact remains that this notebook is

the lightest and most portable 17 inch

are ever so for people who take their

laptop anywhere and everywhere it's a

winner as long as that anywhere isn't an

alley fight it won't make much of a

makeshift self-defense weapon
