About this deal

The 2020 LG Gram 17 was a great laptop but the 2021 model is even better. LG has made small improvements everywhere you look while doing nothing to undermine the attraction of the original. We’ll discuss them all in this review, so you’ll know what to expect when looking at one of these LG Gram 17 notebooks. Specs as reviewed – LG Gram 17 For biometrics, there’s no longer a figner-sensor integrated within the power button with this 2022 Gram 17 generation, as on the previous models, which instead has been replaced by an IR-capable camera. Having both would have been nice. Screen

Here’s what we got on our unit, compared to the Gram 17, previous-gen Gram 16, and a few other portable models.

To return faulty items see our Returning Faulty Items policy. Spec-wise, this is based on the 2022 Intel 12th-gen Alder Lake Core P hardware platform. The Core i7-1260P is a hybrid design with 4 Performance and 8 Efficiency Cores, as well as 16 combined threads. This implementation supplies the CPU with 15-20W of sustained power in demanding loads, which is lower than most other portable Core P designs on their top-performance profiles. We’ll get in-depth further down. The Normal profile cuts the fan to around 31-32 dBA and 12-18W of sustained power. That’s the same as on the Gram 17. The CPU runs cooler in this mode, fluctuating between 70 and 85 degrees Celsius. The performance takes a dip, though, around 20-25% lower than on High. Not only that, but the increased efficiency of the 11th gen CPU also helps out when it comes to working on the move. With the same 80Wh capacity battery in place as in last year’s laptop, the 2021 LG Gram 17 lasted a whopping 13hrs 24mins. That’s around two-and-a-half-hours longer.

An updated thermal module is most likely available on the LG Gram 17 Pro with the RTX 2050 GPU, but that’s something we will discuss in a future article. At the same time, it’s important to understand that this is a power-limited implementation of the Core P hardware, and other i7-1260P models capable of higher sustained power around ~30W will offer a 10-20% boost in multi-threaded CPU and GPU performance.

For storage, LG opted for a premium-tier PCIe gen4 Samsung PM9A1 drive here. There are two M.2 2280 slots inside. On High, we’re looking at 15-22W of power with fan noise around 37-38dB and CPU temperatures in the mid-70s and to mid-80s C. The LG Gram 17 gets a basic thermal module with a single fan and a short heatpipe, much like all the other past Gram. There’s a high-resolution 17-inch 16:10 screen on the LG Gram 17, with averagely sized bezels all around and a solid-quality IPS matte panel on this 2022 model.

EASY SETUP] - You can easily set up the +view monitor with a USB Type-C Thunderbolt connection. Even better, the USB Type-C ports are on both sides and no additional power is required. The only fly in the ointment is the rather high price. Otherwise, LG really has done a very, very good job of building a proper large-screen, lightweight laptop with decent performance, a full-sized keyboard, a great sound system and a generous selection of ports. It’s an achievement too easy to get blasé about. We estimate Windows 11 support will end in October 2031. However, this laptop may be compatible with a future version of Windows that gets support beyond this date The keyboard layout is a bit different than what LG offers on their Gram 16, with an extra column of keys in the NumPad section and different arrows. Furthermore, LG updated the fonts that they’re using for this generation, and the smaller writing is more visually pleasant imo. And what is the target audience on the planet for the Gram 17 series – from your point of view, as an expert?
