I have one of the original 16" Grams and I love it. No issues with heat as it ventilates out the back. Bought this one off Costco a week ago and was extremely disappointed with the heat situation. Vents are now on the bottom and the fan runs constantly which kills the battery. Even for the improvements it has, that's a total deal killer so I returned it. After researching a bit more, it seems the new i7 Intel chips tend to run hot so they aren't a good fit for the ultrabooks. I think the LG design was out of necessity to control heat. So I'll be looking to source an AMD based machine in the future.

Do you recommend getting the Intel 11th gen then?

It does not. Only finger print. I have it and like it so far

They both(Fingerprint or IR) are very good along with Windows Hello.
We have surfaces and we really enjoy IR camera and Windows Hello. Pretty neat setup.

For work I have one with Fingerprint and that works well too.

Got one last week, mine came with 1 extra m.2 slot. Was able to add additional 2tb ssd without issues. The ram however is not upgradable.

Edit: Also very easy to open. 8 total screws, no hinges clips to worry about.

Bought this yesterday. Ran videos today and a few Cinebench 20 runs. Got 7 hours out of it. Is there some secret to getting longer run times out of the battery? Fan and power settings on Battery efficiency settings.

Bought my Tesla yesterday. Ran at top speed today and a few 0-155mph runs. Only got 100 miles of range on it. Is there some secret to getting more range out of the battery? Regen braking and acceleration is on lowest settings.

Bought last week at a lower price at Costco. Been using it constantly. Battery life is great! I'm getting well over 10 hours. I love it!

The lg gram I bought had a keyboard fail within the first hour. Other reviewers show the same issues, see below.:

With the oven running in as processor, you won't get more than 7 hours from this 72 whr battery. Something like Ryzen 6800U would have given you at least two hours of extra backup time.

I just charge it and park it. That way to has full range all the time.

Mine has an extra m.2 as well, but the main drive is soldered. One of the few things I wish they'd change.
