The 2020 model is SO much better than their previous models but I feel like the 15W CPU holds it back a bit. At under 3 lbs, this thing is crazy light but how important is weight in your laptop purchase decision?

Dave please bring back animations

@Age of Reason that's really all that can be expected from this form factor I got a thinkpad T14 about a month ago. I can also upgrade the RAM and ssd. But replacing the keyboard was two captive screws and a bit of a wiggle. The ribbon cables are designed to be easy to open for replacement. The ethernet jack is on a separate board from the motherboard, as are the USB ports. The LCD panel bezel is held on with a bit of adhesive and clips. It's really easy to remove. The LCD panel is held in with 4 screws. If I need to replace the screen, or decided I want the 4k panel, it's not a nerve wracking experience The whole machine is designed to be serviceable and repaired rather than just thrown away to buy a new one I value this far more than saving a bit of weight or having a sexy machine

@Daniel ThorpeThis LG Gram has upgradeable RAM & SSD. And it has wifi 6.

If possible can you give me one laptop please,if it's old also no problem

2021 gram 4800u will be the game changer if that ever happens.

Sorry, but about the RAM, what does it mean that "you get 8GB onboard as well a single slot that you can upgrade"? I can add 1 stick of RAM in addition to the 8GB that's already there and can't be removed? What the maximum RAM that I can put in there? Thanks in advance and thanks for the review

The reason why they give you the barrel jack charger is so that you can use the thunderbolt connector simultaneously.

I prefer the barrel plug charger, it leaves the usb-c free

they really should put in a 100Wh battery

You want a good deal on a Gram? Hit me up, we have hundreds of units :) Services PCQC 514-397-1179

they should do LG 17 2 in 1

i want to upgrade my old lg laptop into a lg gram 17 in the future...

What is it with you guys flipping laptops. 40 seconds into this other review of the same laptop. https://youtu.be/5CRmlXOThNw it hits the deck and apparently suffered absolutely no damage. This thing must be strong!

The regular charger is a bit of an issue. If the usb-c port is in use by a usb drive then you have to charge with the adapter, and you need to have it with you. If it had two usb-c ports then it could charge from one and still have a spare for an external drive etc. It's probably a cost thing and maybe leaving something for next year's model, but it's definitely a flaw for this year and a sales detractor. The Dell XPS has more usb-c's but it is much more expensive.

Awesome thorough review! Thank you!

1.35kg very light for 17inch laptop.

downvoted for the way he scraped it with the screwdriver.

I bought this laptop and first test results: it compiles code faster than my previous Dell XPS 15 with a i7-7700HQ, which is a 45w processor. Dell aggressively overclocks it first, but like a minute later it reaches 100 degrees and drops the CPU clock speed down to very low regions which is an approach which I hate. Dave also mentions this in other videos. LG gram seems to be able to keep turbo clock speeds much better with a 15w CPU, which is ridiculous.

Dave, thanks for the great review! However, it would be useful to give more details on the ports: type of HDMI; is the type-C compatible with DisplayPort?

Saw this on eBay for $1,299. Pretty damn cheap for a laptop with this specs! @t

5:35 , why on earth do you need a big sd card slot? who uses the big ones anymore? i'm glad to not have to use an adapter for micro sd

They could have put a bigger battery

Ha ha practically I have not noticed any difference between 2018,2020 keyboards lol

How did you get rid of those Intel etc stickers???

Is there any touchpad problem in 2020 version? To tell the truth, the touchpad of 2018 version is not accurate and not easy to use as the one on dell and macbook. I am thirsty for an update that could make changes on its performance

How about the 15.6 inch screen version? Does it have the same specs except the screen size? Do you have a review of that model? Thx

so did it fall ? :) at the end of the video ?

Or just don’t open your laptop because there’s no need to

Dave please bring back animations

6:17 But it is not BALANCED

Can I get this for programming.....? Please reply.........👇

Small trackpad boohoo.

lmao all that empty space tho

This week, I got my LG Gram 17 with the 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD. First impressions: 1. It's light for a 17" laptop, but not crazy light. It's still a laptop. 2. The build quality is good. Reviewers show how flexible it is, but I don't think you'd notice it unless you look for it. The only thing I'd say is that the hinge is not quite as stiff as I would like. If you tried using it on a train or plane, it might bother you. On a desk it is stable. 3. The screen is glossy. (How I wish it was matt!) I got a screen protector to reduce the reflectivity, but I couldn't get it on without air bubbles (which I hate even more), so for now I'm living with the gloss. But it's fantastic having a 17" screen for productivity (and day trading). And it's clear and bright. It's overall a good panel. 4. Keyboard: It's okay, apart from a couple of differences from a standard UK keyboard layout. In particular: the way the "|" key is situated adjoining the Left Shift key; and the horizontal Return key (which means I sometimes hit the "#" key by mistake). But the typing experience is good so far. 5. Okay, so it's not a powerhouse. I bought it knowing that it would be fine for productivity, but not expecting to do anything particularly demanding. 6. It was a bit laggy on first use. I did a clean install of Windows... and now it's running perfectly. 7. The sound is okay. It's fine, if not anything special. So far, I'm happy with my purchase, but these things I would change if I could redesign it for next year: - matt screen (!) - stiffer hinge - slightly better, upward firing speakers - keyboard layout - an Ethernet port would be nice, rather than the Dongle provided... - And a more powerful CPU would be nice. Ideally, a Ryzen CPU with their better integrated graphics would be fab.

i have been getting the glitches and had a heart attack trying to figure out why. Also I lost my dongle can you tell me the specific one i need or are they all just similar. any video to show me how to reinstall windows greatly appreciated

370 nitts brightness? Even 13 inch MacBook Pro's have 500 nitts.

INCEPTION ENDING

Absolutely love the LG Grams. They're super light, have fantastic displays, very affordable($!!) and have one of the most customer-friendly warranty policies. I've used Thinkpads for 15+ years before switching to LG Gram a few years ago. Now I only buy Grams.

COMPARE PRICES, seriously compare the prices, I can't stress that enough. I looked on the costco website and it was selling the LG Gram 15 for around 1.8k. I went to look on amazon for the exact same laptop and it was selling for atleast 3k.

This or the asus Zenbook 14?

This or the asus Zenbook?

Did he just dropped the laptop at the end ??

15 Hours = Watch Video 10-11 Hours = Work

promare

End was epic 😁😁

I think Barrel Plug + USB C is a lot more sensible, PLEASE YouTubers, don't let this phase out with these herd reviews of yours, without a second thought!! This is a great solution! This way, when you are Power-Using your system, let's say docked, you use only the useless charging port for charging and not sacrificing one FULLY FUCNTIONAL, FULLY CAPABLE port just for stupid charging!

60hz display and am Intel gpu.. why would anyone buy this?

I don't know why this laptops just feels so cheap to me

Bought one

If possible can you give me one laptop please,if it's old also no problem

Sorry Dave I have to disagree on one thing on this review, the build material, I have the 2019 version of this laptop and if they didn't change the build material, I will not recommend to anyone, for everyday use the laptop is a fantastic machine, but the wear is very noticeable, the material after 1 year it's all bent because of the heat, you have lot's of gaps, and I had to return the laptop because the material around the hinges of the screen was not correctly lined and would hope the bottom part of the laptop, I don't know if they did some mistake on the guarantee of the laptop, but one of my speakers came doing static. It's powerful but it they look like those Teslas who came with a lot of gaps and mistakes from fabric and the owner had to return it multiples times because of it. This is my experience with this brand and their laptop.

I only go to Dave for laptop reviews, one of the main uses for my laptops is as a fidget spinner. I want a top quality and well balanced laptop.

17-inch LG Gram - 17 hours battery time. It is available at Amazon, for $1670: https://amzn.to/2XlBZrM

This laptop gives you 18.5 hours of battery time. It's available at Amazon: https://amzn.to/3fOWUe1

Micro SD slot... C'mon!

I trade stocks do you think this would work with another monitor and 10 windows open from my trading platform that I download The laptop would only run this one program Thoughts?

U guys should sub to us

Is it really silent, that would be fantastic as I have to fully shut down my laptop when I go to sleep otherwise I won't fall asleep because it's quite loud.

Intel inside, cooling outside.

Loved it

Hi, there are people who said it doesn't make any difference if you purchase the i5 or i7 for lg gram as the manufacturer didn't manage to make the laptop perform better with i7 CPU? Do you have any insights on this please?

This LG Gram is literally a desktop in disguise

For the 2019 model I have watched a video, which is from a renowned videographer, stating that c200 video raw footage editing was like cutting butter .. did you try that before saying that it's so so for video editing ???

Hp envy is lighter 1.20

empty space :(

At the end it uses Windows 🤣. Would it be a good one?! NEVER!!!!

Hi Dave, great video! Thank you, is the i7 or i5 version gonna make much difference when running large data sets?

根本是業配文,我的買來不到一年,也沒摔到,螢幕故障,廠商說就破裂,被廣告騙了.品質真的不敢恭維.決不再買.

No LG Grams were harmed in the making of this video...

so.. did the laptop drop at the end there? I need to know, it's giving me cliff hanger anxiety

Hey how about the speakers? Are they any better? The previous models were known for their speakers to be terrible.

3:14 Binging with babish! I literally Heard his intro music. Lol

I stopped at "a single RAM slot". Too bad.

the inside of this thing is so unsatisfying because i just wanna somehow stretch the battery to fill more of the inside reeee

The display is so glossy. Deal breaker.

I think in 2020 the numpad is useless for 95% of laptop users. Because of this the keyboard and the trackpad are moved to the left side of laptop and it looks not so symmetric as I wish to.

I hope someday i could buy that kind of laptop, i only have an old type of dell laptop with a celeron processor, its hard for me to edit video for my vlog, i am new in youtube, lack of money hahahah

Fantastic Review... Thanks a lot. Hey Dave! We love a comparison LG Gram 17 2020 vs Dell XPS 17! Do you like it?

Hey Dave! Please review Dell Inspiron 5590 2020 Laptop.

Can the GPU be upgraded NVidea GTX series

too big

can you do a review about the huawei matebook D 15? would really love to see what you think about it :D

Should i buy this over hp envy x360 15inch amd 5 4500u 16 or 32gb ram?

I really wish they brought the 16:10 aspect ration to the 14 and 15 inch models

Did you actually dropped itat the end of the video?

Is RAM and ssd also upgradeable in smaller screen (14 and 15.6") models?

Thank you Lee it was really hlepful. Keep doing this good work.

Spinning and dropping a laptop is lame af! Also lame af is complaining about removing rubber feet and screws. Not subbing, LINUS OWNS THIS SEGMENT.

Oh boy, that ending gave me goosebumps. Yet... 1) it fell on the table, or 2) he caught it, or 3) nah, this did not happen.

Mine is 1315 grams after I added an 8G ram.

thats gonna fall and get dents!

Dave how's the durability of the latest gram 17?

very poor use of space, they can't even put speaker upward in 17inch, cheap looking screen, why can't they make a glass screen. tiny touchpad looks ridiculous. seriously why there is so many empty space around battery, and when the size goes to 17 inch, who cares about weight? Do they actually do the research.

LG please keep the barrelplug and USBC charging duo, do not take either away, thanks. The barrel plug usually charges faster, but most of all it saves you one usbc/tb3 ports for other things besides charging, but you can still be use usbc for charging if you like, so you have to option and are not limited to one way to charge your laptop. Please do not ask manufactures to take away the traditional charging port, as that effectively takes away a usbc/tb3 port also. I see many reviewers actually asking for this. They seem to want less choices rather than more, for asthetic reasons. Now if the usbc/tb3 could not charge, then I would agree with you.

My Lg Gram 17 2020 17Z90N has a keyboard problem after three weeks of purchase at Costco Canada. The problem is that the E Q and Tab keys register as P, Full screen and random letters when typing. I tried to reinstall windows 10 and it still has the same problem.

Dave, when trying to undervolt my 2020 14'' lg gram, i can't install xtu. Tried the latest release and says that i'm trying to run it in an unsupported plattform. Any solutions?

Me: Looking at my crappy asus vivobook max laptop. Oh God, I need a laptop replacement

How about after sales service..?

DON'T BUY IT!. I had an issue with mine, it has been 45 days and LGE does not even know where is my laptop. This is the worst possible customer services that I ever had in my life, so I can only advise everyone to avoid LG on the USA.

is there a way to set up the LG laptop in a way so the keyboard's backlight would switch off automatically after few seconds?

I loved it when you right off the bat talked about the inside of the laptop. That's exceptionally a technical and educational review, Great job!

Why isn’t there an OLED on the Gram? It could potentially make the device thinner and lighter with a thinner display assembly.
