I bought it on the same price on BF and returned it. Its a 17ZB90R ..B models are based on an update of 2021 model, yes it gets a 13th gen cpu, ram is good size but slower DDR4, camera is 720p / no IR, SSD is slow, speakers are too muted, only 1.5 watts and the power brick has a permanent cable. It does have the fingerprint reader.The battery charge only lasted 5-6 hours on a very light load.

Short answer, DDR5 is about 50% faster... long answer:

Data Rate and Bandwidth: DDR5 offers higher data rates than DDR4. DDR4 typically operates at speeds between 1600 MT/s (million transfers per second) and 3200 MT/s, while DDR5 starts at around 4800 MT/s and is expected to reach speeds up to 8400 MT/s or more. This higher data rate means DDR5 can transfer more data per second, significantly improving performance.

Increased Efficiency: DDR5 RAM introduces improved power management features compared to DDR4. It operates at a lower voltage (1.1V for DDR5 vs 1.2V for DDR4), which reduces power consumption and heat generation. Additionally, DDR5 incorporates on-die ECC (Error Correction Code), which helps in improving data integrity and reliability.

Channel Architecture: DDR5 introduces a change in memory architecture. Each DDR5 DIMM has two independent 32-bit channels (total 64-bit), compared to a single 64-bit channel in DDR4. This change allows for better utilization of memory bandwidth and more efficient handling of smaller data requests, leading to increased performance in multitasking and data-intensive applications.

Increased Capacities: DDR5 supports larger capacity modules than DDR4. While DDR4 commonly maxes out at 16 GB per chip, DDR5 is expected to support chip densities up to 64 GB. This means you can have much more RAM in a single system, benefiting data-intensive applications like server environments, large databases, and high-end gaming.

Improved Scalability and Future-Proofing: DDR5 is designed with future scalability in mind. It supports higher data rates and capacities, which means it is better equipped to handle future computing demands compared to DDR4.

Speakers are poor on the LG Gram series in general.

This seems like a good deal for the specs. It even seems priced lower than 16GB versions of the same computer. Any catch here?

How are the screen and speakers on this? Almost bit on a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 16 but the speakers were poor.

The screen is very nice. The speakers are a 2 out of 10 (barely adequate, sadly).

The keyboard is a 3 out of 10, very frustrating (at least on the 2023 unite I returned to Costco). People say the touchpad also sucks.

Everything else is fantastic: great price, light weight, large screen, good battery life, great performance for the price and weight.

I wish they could give this thing a good keyboard and adequate speakers.

Similar model on sale at Costco with DD5 and 2TB SSD: https://www.costco.com/lg-gram-17...16539.html

Plus the Costco model has a 2-year warranty.

But $400 more. Any thoughts?

Super light for that size. Why HP & other brands still making bricks?

That's most interesting. If you say the extra SSD space is worth $100, you pay $300 for the DDR5 RAM.

Thoughts?
