I had an earlier generation LG Gram 16 (2-in-1) and while I loved the light weight, it was a quirky machine and I felt like it never quite lived up to its potential. That said, I'm tempted by this Gram Pro and if I end up returning the Slim 9i Pro, I'll probably get one of these.
A Lenovo deal (was, see edit below) found on Slickdeals. It is eBay and reconditioned. The Gram is Costco and new.
Don't get me wrong. I love my Lenovo. I own it for a different purpose. I also love my LG Gram.
EDIT: the Lenovo deal has now expired. It was a good deal when available. But if I could only have one, I would have the LG.

I'm trying out the Slim 9i Pro 16 right now from that Lenovo Outlet deal and it's pretty much as advertised - great screen, great sound, lots of horsepower, but incredibly poor battery life - like if you aren't careful with your settings it might die on you in less than 3 hours. And the machine is so finicky about which chargers it will take - about half of the USB-C PD 65W or higher chargers in my house don't work. The LG Gram Pro might be more of a compromise in some respects but a lot easier to manage in others.

I've had it outdoors comparing it to the Lenovo and subjectively thought the screen of the LG was brighter even though the Lenovo is Mini-LED and 1200-nit. (I used Windows, display settings to manage Brightness. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?)
Part of the designed power management is to make the LG screen dynamically dim and brighten. One of my gripes for the LG is it tends to dim when on battery when I do not expect it to. I do not have this problem with AC power.
Frankly, I think the LG or the Lenovo are great for indoor but don't recommend either for outdoor use. The Lenovo has a better display, but it isn't as amazing as I hoped. I agree with your comment that the LG is easier to manage. This is part of why I use it so much. But I'm a business app user and not a gamer.
