I'd disagree on numpad. Highly useful for literally any situation you need to input numbers (including making calls).
This laptop is amazing. Outrageously thin and light for how powerful it is.
Has an antiglare screen.
I run autohotkey scripts from half my keyboard. Having the numpad is great because it's technically different than the top row #s. If you use your laptop for productivity or anything that can be scripted, AHK can be invaluable, and better with a num pad.

RAM is soldered so no go there.

SSD can be replaced though. (M.2 2280 NVMe)

This is the best trackpad I've used on a PC. Huge and very responsive. I still think MacBooks have the edge on their trackpads, but this is close.

but does it thermal throttle? What I found with all these high spec laptop is they all thermal throttle if not in a huge chassis. If they thermal throttle, then an expensive high end CPU is the same as a midrange non thermal throttle CPU.

So the 2020 version got 2 8gb and only 1 8gb solder to MB. The other 8gb is on SoDIMM socket and one can easily replace it. Is the the current one works the same or it only offers one 16gb SoDIMM and it's soldered to MB?

16GB all soldered (already in dual channel mode, I believe). No RAM slot at all.

ARGH. So hard to pass up. I've been eyeing these LG grams for a month or so. Almost pulled the trigger on the 16", but saw the 17" would marked down, and here we are.

I bought a Lenovo LEGION Y520 @ Costco about 5 years ago ( wow time flies ) and it works for my needs. But, I don't expect it to last forever, and would prefer to get a new machine when/how I want, not because I have to...

How future proof is this LG build? The 16gb RAM is a step backwards... I put 32 in my legion. But the 5 generation newer i7 probably makes up for it plus some?
So I caved. Went to look last weekend, ended up going back today to get one.
First impressions are good. display is really nice. Speed is adequate for what I'm doing..
I was concerned jumping from the 15" referenced above to a 17"... was really just wanting a lighter machine and didn't want to go bigger... Ironically, the length and width of this is the same as my 15". Just 1/3 the depth and a fraction the weight.
All in all satisfied after playing around for 6hrs or so.

Only thing I can't stand is the fans constantly going off. This didn't happen on the 16" model.

Not sure what exactly this might be related to but I've had mine for a week or so and the fan barely comes on. I'm not maxing the cpu or anything (just doing normal office work mostly) but it has been hot weather where I am and no AC so ambient temp is high. My fan setting in the lg utility is "normal" (or whatever the default/middle setting is called). I'll also add that my laptop is usually sitting on my lap and it doesn't seem to get particularly hot to the touch...

Obviously a lot of other people are also having fan issues similar to yours so I wonder if it's a case of some variance in the heatsink effectiveness (or whatever) from unit to unit.

Note due to overheating issues the 1260AP CPau throttles and will be slower than the 1240P CPU.
Here are the results of the Cinebench R23 test for the Gram 17 1240P which I just got off BuyDig:
Multi core: 4818 pts
Single core: 1187 pts

If someone could post the results of the same benchmark for the 1260P version here, we might be able to objectively see whether it indeed throttles more.

I'd like to know this too. I've had 'powerful' laptops and tablets throttle so bad that I can't even have a non-choppy video call without being in an 68 deg airconditioned room.
