Intel Core Ultra iGPU runs 3.5-4K timespy when combined with the fastest 32Gb 7467Mhz memory like here...

What's the point of having 3050? It's an old tech, only ~25% faster while adding weight (2.82 lb vs 2.64lb) and depleting the battery - diminishing the main appeal of this laptop.

3050 ouch might as well just use integrated GPU in an AMD 7000 series CPU. Would save battery power, reduce the nuclear meltdown heat coming from the Intel CPU and almost be on par.
I'm new to this stuff is this better? Worse? About the same? I'm trying to find one for my kid learning Adobe photo and video editing.

I got this laptop. It's a steal for the portability.

I use it for work and light gaming with league of legends and Helldivers.

It works great for me and the form factor and weight is the main reason why I got it.

OLED is beautiful. I hope the battery lasts for all day clinic but other than that the quality is very much worth.

I upgraded from surface laptop 2 with 1050. That thing was heavy. I will miss touchscreen that I use rarely, but I'm so happy with this and the price… unmatched.

RTX 3050 on a 2024 model for $1400. Let me spit in your face and say you like it.
What's the better deal?
It needs to have a 16" 120hz oled, 90wh battery, and weigh 2.8 lbs.
I'll wait.

They do have models solely reliant on the Arc iGPU: https://www.lg.com/us/laptops/lg-...ram-laptop

https://a.co/d/9dYAT3V
So you can buy the Arc - only Gram now for $1749 (3rd party) or $1999 (LG), buy the Gram with a 3050 included for $1399 (Costco), or wait until next year for the 4050 version which will likely be over $2K. I think the path is pretty clear, esp. since gamers aren't looking at the Gram anyhow.

Is there an issue with getting this and just using the Arc graphics full time? Or is there another competitive 16" OLED laptop for less?

I agree, I'd get this one regardless. My only hesitance is the glossy screen.

Ended up pulling the trigger on this. There were a few other decent deals recently, but each had a deal breaker for me (16GB soldered RAM, no 2nd SSD slot) and this was the first one that met my requirements, plus being non-touch I don't have to worry about seeing the digitizer.

And at worst I have 90 days to change my mind and get something with a better GPU and/or cooling. But as my most demanding apps are the occasional Lightroom and Photoshop I should be OK.

Beautiful screen. Better for indoors for sure.
Outdoors it's kinda harder to see.

Curious to hear what you think. I ended up with the (quickly sold out) $699 17" model. But this was sure tempting… maybe if it had a matte display.

Yes. One thing that makes me comfortable trying a laptop I haven't seen in person.

Quote from bogus1 :
My LG is a slightly different model. It is the 17ZB90R-K.AAC7U1 and listed as a 400-nit display. It is not OLED and has a run-of-the-mill Intel Iris Xe GPU and Anti-Glare IPS Display. I do not game.

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.
You may have an option in the Intel Graphics Command center that will disable to LG dynamic screen dimming you mentioned here. It is located in Intel Graphics Command Center > System > Power > Display Power Savings. Turn the setting to Off.
