Perfect! I saw these LG Gram 16, 17, deals, almost went for it. But I really wanted a 14', and I told myself to hold out. Now it's finally here!

Have a Legion 5i, Macbook Pro 14, and MBA. But lately finding myself really needing a lightweight Windows laptop with decent processing power and battery life, just for spreadsheeting + data processing.

This LG Gram ticks my box mainly because:
- Non-touch HD+ screen
- Uniform-sized arrow keys
- No horrible home/end/pg up/ pg dn column of buttons on the right for a 14incher, which shift the shift, enter, delete keys.
- Thin bezel

You won't believe how hard it is to find a 12th Gen ultrabook with those specific design choices in 2022. There are many great powerful thin and lights this year. But they have some horrible design mistakes one way or another.
- All 2022 Chinese 14 inch HD+ ultrabooks have a fking touchscreen. It looks horrible and touch is useless on a 14'inch, non-flip, Windows laptop. It adds weight, consumes more battery life, and make the screen look grainy (because of the layer of touch sensor, the screen looks non-laminated and you can see tiny black dots looking closely). These rules all the Lenovo Yogas, Xiaomi Pros, Asus whatevers out of the window.
- Besides a few Asus and this LG Gram, ALL other ultrabooks have this: tiny up-and-down arrow but full-size left and right arrow configuration. This includes Dell new XPS, XPS Plus, Thinkbooks, HP Envy, and all the Chinese brands mentioned above. I, cannot, stand this horrible design element. Just no.
- For the few remaining 14inchers that pass the above criteria, most of them decides to half-size Shift, Enter, Backspace, and add a clumn of function keys on top of the right arrow key (home, end, page up, page down). Again, cannot stand this.

LG Gram has got it right. It's purpose is pure and clear - lightweight, good battery, good power, good keyboard layout. No need those baggage mentioned above.

In for one.

Isn't 16" just what happens when you spec a display as wide as a 15.6" but taller for the extra rows?
Didn't think of that. I guess if not, it's still pretty close.

Back in my day "gram" in lg gram used to stand for grams as in sub kilo (1000gr) or 2.2 lbs. Now they should be called lg kilogram.

Ordered. I hope it meets expectations. I like the fact that it's light, 12-gen Intel, 16:10 screen, anti-glare coating, 16GB LPDDR5, 1080p IR camera, glass touchpad, 350 nits.

Anyone comment on the difference between the i5 in the 14" and the i7 in the 15"? For several hundred more you get a faster i7 with better thermals, no?
The gram is notorious for bad thermals. As in, the i7 doesn't give any extra performance because the heatsink/fan is so small, it throttles when pushed. That said, unless you play games or do real processing, you won't notice a difference

I could not figure out why they made the 14", 16", and 17" models 16:10, but kept the 15" 16:9. Strikes me as sort of dumb. But this seems like a great deal.

I have the 17" being delivered today for pickup at Costco. Trying to decide whether to cancel it and snag the 14" instead. I think I would need to pick up some extra side-mounted monitors for it. But I like the smaller size, and 2.2 lbs seems crazy light.
17 inch was almost magically light and enormous. Could not imagine pulling it out on a plane, so returned. But very impressed

Yes. Go to "all specs" and it says Anti-glare right there in the screen info. You do lose 50 nits of brightness compare to the 14 inch though.

Thanks for this info. What about doing video calls all day long?

I didn't think that streaming video was an intense process (vs. video rendering, VFX), but I had to return my last laptop because the CPU started to throttle during calls. I'm 100% in on this i5 14" LG gram if I can just figure out if it will handle Zoom calls for 6-7 hours a day.

Apple is still specking 8x256 with no HDMI for a higher price ...lol
The Mac is better even at those specs. Learn about unified memory. Memory performs better and except for new m2s the ssd are raid. Obviously less storage but the value is competitive.

p.s. And I own a 2022 16" gram after buying the M1 Pro to try and change over. M1 blows this away - I just couldn't stand the Mac user experience, software ecosystem, and weight obviously.

...other than possibly battery life
