LG gram 15

The LG gram 15 for 2017 does what it’s designed to do extremely well. It handles Windows 10 and undemanding apps with ease and lasts for ages away from the mains. It does all this while packing a 15in screen into a chassis that weighs just 1kg. That’s seriously impressive but it comes at a price that’s hard to stomach for UK buyers – in the US it’s not so bad. Any Brits reading this review should check out the Dell XPS 15 which has more impressive specs for a lower price, but it does weigh twice as much.

At 980g the LG gram 15 is crazily light for a full-size laptop and the specs are pretty decent, too. However, we’re waiting to see how much it costs and the display is worryingly bendy.

The LG Gram 15 isn’t perfect, but diehard ultraportable fans currently won’t find any alternatives that rival its combination of low weight, large screen, and performance.
