But since both laptops are completely different and different prices (the Alienware is 50% more than this LG), it's like asking "which is a better deal -- a really nice bicycle that is half off or a Tesla Cybertruck that is half off". Which one gives you the best value for your money?
Community Reviews
The LG gram 17 stands out as a very light, long battery life 17 inch laptop for productivity, travel, and general use. The Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD make it feel like a strong generalist machine, and the integrated graphics can handle light gaming and even some older or less demanding titles at lower resolutions. The big tradeoff is the display, which is only 60Hz and 320 nits, so brightness and gaming smoothness are not its strengths. It is best suited to portable work, not high resolution gaming.
The LG gram 17 can handle AAA gaming at 1080p low or better settings with integrated graphics.
The laptop can play Cyberpunk 2077 around mid settings using XeSS, which supports casual gaming expectations.
The gram 17 offers strong portability by fitting a 17-inch display into a lighter-than-many 15-inch laptop chassis.
The open-box unit can arrive essentially new after brief testing and return, which improves confidence in condition.
The integrated Arc 140V iGPU is unlikely to deliver good frame rates at full 2560x1600 resolution in many modern games.
The laptop is not positioned as a gaming machine, so high-resolution gaming expectations may disappoint.
The 17-inch QHD+ display is not especially bright at about 320 nits, which can strain eyes in bright environments.
The screen refresh rate and brightness limitations can make the deal feel poor for daily use.

17" (in a 16" body) is not for everyone, but this weighs less than most 15" and even some 14" laptops. Big fan of the grams

That Arc 140v iGPU won't be held back by 16GB of RAM Lunar Lake laptops often ship with, so it should perform quite well compared to something like a 780m or 890m. There are plenty of benchmarks available on YouTube that compare the iGPU to those AMD counterparts, where the 140v will actually them in many games, and generally match the AMD iGPUs in AMD-favored titles. Just don't expect it to play games well at the full 2560x1600 resolution. That's too much for that iGPU to handle for all but older games. You'll find much more playable framerates in between 800p (same as the Steam Deck) and 1200p, a couple of common resolutions that maintain the 16:10 screen ratio and are widely supported in most games.
Back to the laptop's specs! The screen, while it has a very nice resolution, is not especially bright at 320 nits, and it's an LCD rather than OLED. It looks to be a good LCD however at 99% DCI-P3, so at least it has a good color gamut. Don't expect to use this with direct, bright sunlight without straining your eyes. It has an anti-glare coating, so that should help in bright rooms. Ideally, you should get a monitor that can display 400 nits to deal with bright rooms and light, but I've used monitors as low as 250 nits without too many issues in office environments.
1TB SSD, plenty of RAM, great power-efficient but still powerful CPU, Wi-Fi 7, and Thunderbolt 4 USB-C ports. Just make sure the larger 17" display isn't too big for you. 3.22lbs is a very comfortable weight for a larger laptop as well.
If I was in the market for a laptop, this would be a very tempting deal. And, it's actually available used in a lot of Best Buy stores all over the country, so it's not unobtainable.
That said, pairing this CPU/GPU with a 17" screen at QHD isn't the best since few modern games will have great frame rates at QHD on this iGPU. This GPU pairs best with a 14" 1080 OLED. But you can run games at lower resolution than the native resolution, so it isn't the end of the world.
I do NOT play competitive AAA online shooters with this so temper your expectations accordingly.
