LG Gram 17

The ultimate lightweight powerhouse

- RHYS WOOD

THE LG GRAM 17 (2021) is the latest variant of the company’s so-far superb lineup of productivity-oriented laptops that focus on being as light as possible above all else. Powered by Intel’s 11th-generation mobile chips, it’s a laptop that mostly allows for fast, hassle-free productivity, making your daily workload a seamless experience at the office or at school.

While the LG Gram 17 (2021) isn’t going to win any awards for style, it does offer pure function, poising it as one of the best choices for everyday workplace use. If you can stomach the price.

Last year’s Gram 17 cost just over $1,749 for a similar spec. That ran on a 10th-gen Intel CPU, so we’ve seen a bit of a price hike going to the Intel Core i71165G7 CPU. Other LG Gram 17 (2021) configurations are also available. There’s a 512GB SSD config that costs a little less, at $1,749, and a 256GB version, which costs even less, at $1,699. Honestly, though, if you’re already spending that much, plumping up the extra cash for the 1TB version seems like a solid deal.
