My wife had pretty exacting requirements for a new laptop and this LG gram met them all. She loves the screen, performance, and light weight. The fact it irks with a docking station was also very important to her. This machine is used for business applications in our volunteer activities. O gaming or intensive graphics. I also wNted a machine that would last five years or more through up oming Windows upgrades. The 8th Gen Core I7, 16MB DDDDR4 memory, 1TB SSD storage and very rugged construction of the machine make that quite possible.i also love the backlit keyboard. The successful combination of light weight and ruggedness astonishes me. For those interested in a docking station, we bought a new Pluggable USB 3.0 which works very well with this LG gram. We haven’t spent more than a few hours at a time on battery so we can’t vouch for the stated 16.5 hour life, but it seems likely. Finally all our myriad devices, old and new, work well with this combination of computer and docking station.

Hi, I use the computer strictly for word, excel, business/legal stuff. I went with the type c charger which only comes in the $1900 configuration because I had dreams of going backpacking with this thing and using an external battery pack. In retrospect, I probably would have been ok giving that up and going with the $1400 version. Screen is bright, good feedback on the keys and it is light as heck! I travel to 3 different offices daily so portability is key. Update- June 3, 2019.. so I rarely run this thing off of battery, which I know kills battery time. I had to use the c charger to juice up my samsung 8+ and I forgot to replug the laptop. I had its main screen on 100% and hmdi to my office screen. I made it 8 hours of banging away on office work before I got the 10% low battery warning. After a year of treating the battery poorly and driving a 15 inch screen. Hurray!!!

First thing. This laptop isnt for gaming. If you expect to play games theres a lot of options out there with discreet video cards. What this laptop does well is merely function for work. Its super light, I can get a good 6-8 hours on a charge if Im just coding away. The keyboard is very comfortable. Trackpad is almost on par with a macbook. In general I just love this laptop. Its made me want to learn C# and visual studio (Im normally a mac/linux guy by trade). The only detractor to me on this laptop is the screen aspect ratio is meant to watch movies 16:9 and Id rather have a taller screen like a Lenovo or Macbook. That said this machine Ill probably use for as long as it lasts. 6 Months in its been great. I have the thunderbolt one and Ive used it to charge. The barrel charger included can be painfully slow if you have a lot plugged in.

Excellent computer, very light for a 15 inch screen,,. The computer I replaced had a ultra HD screen, which was a much clearer screen, ,LG TAKE NOTE! THIS COMPUTER WOULD BE PERFECT WITH A BETTER SCREEN!

Im always on the road, and I wanted a laptop thats super portable, and with a long lasting battery, which at the same time performs really well. After a lot of research, and although LG is not (yet) famous for its laptops, I decided to order the LG Gram 15Z980. It was a gamble, and the gamble has paid off. Im super happy with my purchase! The Gram performs like a monster, while being light as a feather. The screen is superb, and the touchscreen works perfectly. I was on a flight from Auckland to Doha (17h45m) and used the Gram on and off throughout the flight, for a total usage time of at least 10h, without ever plugging it into the power socket, and I still had about 25% juice left when landing. Yes, the side numerical keyboard is a bit strange, with the 0 being left of the ., and it takes a bit of getting used to it, but thats nothing really. So, overall, very happy.

My darling... yep. I love this thing. I baby it. No one can touch it but me. Well, for the price, who can blame me! Its super duper light weight. My husband said its TOO light. No such thing, shut up. LOL Its really thin too. I love how fast it is. I multitask and Im fast on a computer. I need it to keep up with me, and this computer does just that. The quality of the picture is great at any angle. It would be great if I had the feature to bend it all the way back and use it like a tablet, especially for the price, or at least lay it flat (so that the hinges dont accidentally get broken)... but thats really the only complaint that I have.

Full disclosure: I am writing this in a state of incredible frustration. This computer doesnt have Microsoft Office. If I pay almost $2000 for a computer, I think it should come with Microsoft Office. For whatever reason, I cannot seem to download it. I have set and reset passwords. Why isnt there a simple way to purchase this? So disappointed that I am wasting my time with this. Other than that, it is a beautiful computer that works great.

This LG is probably my seventh or eighth PC. Nothing special. Battery life I get in the real world is about six hours, which is mediocre. It is slightly faster than my four year old Dell. Screen resolution okay. It is very light, which gets a star. The reason that I will never buy a LG product again is terrible warranty support. I have a hardware problem covered under warranty which will take a month to process and fix. In sum, average computer, very light, with poor technical support.
