If you choose to go up to the Pro models, you get a better brighter display that can do variable refresh from 30-144hz, better speakers, and in the 17" model you get a rtx 5050 and the higher power 285H cpu. This is a big tradeoff in battery life due to the higher spec components though. If you like the 258V/288V power sipping lunar lake cpus, you can get that in the 16 pro and It'll run just like this but you do get a huge battery in this 17" model. I was considering the gram pro 16 but they havent gone below $1,495 with coupon on their partner site so far. Theres a posting for the 17" Pro model here on slickdeals if you want that, and I was sent a 15% off coupon that I shared in that thread to drop the price to $1500 shipped for one poster. It has limited uses though, so good luck. Hope this helps, its a good laptop for sure, but wanted to assist the community in comparing the models.

I was able to buy this using the 20% off deal from PayPal, so my final price came to just over $800, which made this a great deal for my use cases. I have a gaming laptop for photo/video editing, and the LG will be useful for general purpose computing when I prefer a lightweight solution with long battery life (vs. the six hours I get with my gaming laptop).
I was disappointed that the LG didn't have a built in Ethernet connector.
Bought a small Anker USC-C hub that has Ethernet connector, it also has SD card reader.
At least the LG has 2 Thunderbolts and 2 legacy USB-A. Which gives you lots of options for add-ons. Most of these type of ultra-light/ultra-thin laptops don't even have that.

If anyone interested, because most videos I see online are the previous model, which is slightly different than this new 2025 model.
1. Have to remove the little stickers around the bottom. Pick them out carefully with the pointy sharp end of a knife (works better than trying to use a small screwdriver or pick).
2. Remove the 2 rubber feet, pick them out.
3. Remove the small rectangular sticker in the middle of that long bar along the back that props up the laptop.
4. Basically everything is a thick plastic sticker, and two rubber feet. All held on with some kind of sticky material that is similar to rubber cement. When you remove them, put them upside down on something (glue side up). Because the glue is still sticky and can be reused.
5. Unscrew all the screws. They all use a #00 Philips head screwdriver.
6. Carefully pry back cover off. If possible use a plastic pry tool, rather than something metal.
7.Lift up all around the sides and the front. Then there are two back clips where the air grill is. Instead of trying to force that open, kind of push(slide) the cover backwards, and it will pop off much easier. Do everything nice and easy, because the bottom cover is paper thin and flimsy and you could break off tabs and such.
8. Might not be necessary, but just in case, unplug the pigtail from the battery, so the unit is completely powered off, so you don't fry or short anything.
9. Install the SSD in the second empty slot, using the #00 Philips screw driver.
10. Plug the pigtail back in the battery.
11. Reinstall cover, screws, and plastic covers and rubber feel. Glue should still be sticky and soft, and can be reused. I guess if it is dried out on you, you could put a small dap of rubber contact cement on them.
12. When you boot up, Windows won't see the SSD.
13. Right click the Windows logo in the bottom lefthand corner of the screen, select "Disk Management" and it will open a wizard to initialize and partition the drive. Just leave the defaults checked and press okay.
14. Windows will then recognized the new SSD. It will call the new D: drive something like "New Partition", you can then right click it and rename it to whatever you want.
Note: The space is tight. It looks like it will only take a "one-sided" SSD. That has chips on only one side, and the other side is just a flat wafer. Can't use a "two-sided" SSD that has chips on both sides, because it would probably would not lay down flush. I got a 2TB SSD, because it was one sided. Higher capacity SSDs, like 4TB and 8TB are typically two sided.
Also, to confirm what others have said: The only thing replaceable or upgradable is the SSD (that has two slots), and you could replace the battery by removing the pigtail and seven #00 Philips screws, and swapping it out. Everything else is soldered. Even the WiFi chip is soldered to the motherboard now (old model had a daughterboard). Might be able to replace the fans. They also put a plug in the place that used to have an SD card reader.
