LG gram Pro 16-inch Thin and Lightweight Laptop Computer, AI-Enabled Intel Evo Edition Powered by Intel Core Ultra7(Series 2) 255H Processor, Windows 11 Home, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD - Essence White

Over the past 45 years, my previous computers have been Ohio Scientific, Atari 800, Apple IIGS, and several PCs including HP, Lenovo, and Dell. Of three computers bought about 4 years ago, both a Dell desktop, then an HP laptop were my first computers to actually break, even though they were working well at the time. When I looked at Consumer Reports laptop ratings, I found that in the PC category of owners reports, LG was the most highly reliable brand. Having suffered 2 recent broken computers, I decided to try a much higher priced LG gram Pro16" laptop. It is still too new to say anything about reliability, but its light weight and thin profile are amazing. It was very easy to set up and become part of my small home network. The screen graphics are very impressive, compared with my other computers, being bright and sharp, with brilliant colors. The speed is as good or better than my current desktop 'workhorse'. It has been a pleasure to operate so far. Battery life is excellent, yet it recharges quickly. I participate in some video conferencing and the picture quality is far better than my previous computers. Sound is also very adequate, though I haven't listened to music with it yet. Due to the thin profile, the keyboard is relatively flat, but the large key size makes it easy to type. I shopped around and found a relatively good price on Amazon that turned out to be $100 less than later "black Friday" prices on it, although considerably higher than Dell or HP deals on similarly equipped laptops. I haven't made much use of the included AI features, as I've noticed a couple of bad errors by AI in some browser search summaries, that may be due to other AI than my computer's. If this laptop continues to perform and doesn't break in a few years, I'd say my money was well spent.

I got this laptop to replace an old failing machine. The OLED screen is great. Nice color and great contrast. This is a thin and lightweight machine that boots and runs faster than my old machine ever did. Even though the screen is very thin, it doesn't seem flimsy to me. I'm happy with the performance. The Avast AV that comes installed works well, I'm sure, but I'm put off by the constant prodding to pay for an upgrade to premium. I can't fault Avast for that as it seems to be the industry trend to up-sell us for virtually everything. I got this machine in white as it was offered at a great price. It looks great but my only complaint is that backlighting the keys when it's dark in my room works ok but the keys are hard to see if the room gets even low light (white on white). The keys backlight is easy enough to toggle on/off. That said, I would prefer black keys. The version I got has 16GB of DRAM and it runs about 70%. I don't run games or memory hog apps, mainly just a browser with several open tabs. I understand the memory can be upgraded but not something I can do myself. In my old HP laptop, I could open the cover (without tools!) and change the battery, drive, memory, plus clean out dust. It seems most new laptops are not upgradeable. Oh well...

light weight, long battery life and fast

長年gramを愛用しています。最近少し動作が不安定になってきたため買い換えました。 国内販売モデルに希望のものがなく、並行輸入品は初めてで不安でしたが、当初の予定から1日遅れただけで無事届きました。 出品者により対応が変わることもありますのでご注意を。。。（私の場合はとても気持ちよくお取引できました） もちろんスペックも重要ですが、持ち歩くことが多いのでとにかくこの軽さ、薄さを一度体験すると他のノートには戻れません。。。
