Absolutely loving this laptop! I have an online business and am constantly travelling. Having a 17" screen at this weight, this resolution along with the 16:10 aspect ratio is just amazing to work with. This is a productivity beast. Some have mentioned the resolution at 100% Windows scaling is too small to work with, but Im doing just that. Yes you need good eyesight but Im mostly working within tabs in chrome browser - So I use the chrome scaling/zoom for sites where the text is a bit too small. I find this is a great way to use the laptop. So much more screen real estate than my old 15" Samsung Notebook 9! It is liiiiite. Battery life is awesome. All the ports I need. I cant really comment on the keyboard and track pad as Im always using this thing on a roost laptop stand along with bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It is plenty powerful enough for work/business use and light graphics editing. Youll need a new laptop bag if youre upgrading from a 15". I can highly recommend the Case Logic 17" Laptop Backpack as a daypack/laptop bag. Prepare for oohs and ahhs from people who see this laptop youre working with. Youll be the talk of the town ;P LG are on a winner here and I really hope they continue with this line. It is such an amazing laptop for the right use case. For future versions: Please keep it as this resolution and 16:10. Dont you dare touch those things LG! :D IMHO touch screens are useless on a laptop too so please dont add touch as that will just use up battery power. The hdd tech should be improved as others have mentioned but I only really notice that with startup time. Its snappy while working. Integrated graphics are fine for my use case. A dedicated graphics card would probably have used up much more battery power. This is not meant to be a gaming or graphics powerhouse. Its a get sh!t done on a beautiful big screen while travelling powerhouse. Well done LG. High fives all round.

I know Im a random person you have never met.... But seriously consider this option in your search! Note: you definitely DO NOT get 19 hours battery life. Closer to 10

So Ive been looking for a laptop with a taller screen, because Im tired of the trend of laptops getting longer and shorter screens. I did a lot of research and found the LG Gram 17 to be the most highly rated for several reasons: PROS: -Impossibly lightweight -Amazing battery life -LARGE screen that is very high quality -Super fast -TWO m.2 sata ports, so you can add additional storage -Comfy keyboard (with the exception of the number pad) CONS: -My one and only con is with the number pad. They have plenty of real estate on each side of the keyboard and yet decided to shorten it by one vertical row. While I can get used to this, I really miss the classic layout of this number pad. I still give this laptop 5 out of 5 stars, because its a superstar and although the number pad is lacking, the rest of it is perfect. No hesitations, no slow downs, there is nothing but speed in this large, but light package. I cannot recommend this laptop more highly.

This laptop is so light that everyone who picks it up gasps in surprise. It feels like it cant possibly be real. But the screen is huge and beautiful, its very zippy, and the sound volume is decent. My family has started watching movies on it in front of the fire rather than go in the other room to watch the big TV.

My only complaint is I wish the keyboard was larger since there is plenty of space for it. Some of the keys are squished together causing me to constantly hit the - button instead if backspace. The number pad also feels a little squished, but I’ve been using it okay. The large display and light weight are perfect of photo editing and programming.

All the good points have already been well documented. The screen is not a problem with glare and the speed will not be a problem to most users. The power pack is very small and light. The power cable comes with USA plug (of course) but it is a figure of eight connection so easy source for UK three pin or cut off and replace. I had the 970Pro and Celicious screen ready but I think its is not going to be a priority install just yet! The Gram17" is an excellent computer and will be enjoyed for its lightness, understated design and quality production. The battery life is something to write home about. Enjoy :-)))))))

Huge, ridiculously lightweight, speedy, great display, love this laptop Update: Have had this laptop a couple of months. This is my favorite laptop ever. Display is great, performance is great, Lightweight, I use it for everything -- I just grab it without a charger and go around the house. I even prefer it to my Kindle Fire for reading books. Battery has ridiculously long life.

Wow, what a wonderful product for a wonderful price. It is light, light, light. Great display. Super BIG screen. Plus, it is FAST. Buying this on Amazon was a much better experience versus Dell. I have spent 000s w/ Dell, but I must say, I am glad I switched. Hopefully Amazon will feature very powerful desktops in the near future.

Large screen, light weight very portable are the reasons I gave 5 stars. It would be perfect if it had a touch screen.

This thing is so crazy light that I routinely ask people to pick it up, as they are blown away! Fantastic battery life. Horsepower is great. The only downside is that there is no touchscreen.
