Have had mine for a year, love the PC with one grotesque exception, so agree with comment: 'the worst speaker design yet. Awful location and awful hardware make this easily worthless for listening to anything unless you religiously use headphones.'

I added a virtual EQ and pre amp but that just makes the bad sound louder.  LOL.

Glad to see the Gram get a more thorough run down. I got mine in 2022 and it ended up not traveling as much as I anticipated once work changed and, to remind me of my consumerist faults, I spent more time on the smaller but much heavier work laptop.

The flexing always worried me, but I too never had an issue.

The major drawbacks for me have been:
  • Vender programmed Function keys that can't be customized (only a ver limited few can). The number of times I still press the LG Assistant key... Speaking of which.
  • Obnoxious LG "software" with useless functions for any user. Why is there an app asking me to update Manuals?
  • The worst speaker design yet. Awful location and awful hardware make this easily worthless for listening to anything unless you religiously use headphones.
  • a sometimes unresponsive touchpad. Seems like others have had similar experiences with these models
  • not very comfortable for an economy traveler. As mentioned in the article, its a bit of a pain in small seats and crowded spaces due to its width and depth. What a shame since its so light!
  • Sticky keys with too much space between each. I didn't realize how used to smaller keyboards and smoother presses I was used to

I've enjoyed using it but would not buy it again just because its a light, yet wide laptop. Unless I somehow inherit too much money to only travel in business class. Feel free to donate to my cause!

I did get one of their USB-C powered monitors and that has been fantastic for travel work when I have a full table to set up on. Wide enough, decent resolution, bright enough, and easy to plug in or put away has been marvelous.

How does the rather flexible chassis of the Gram 17 fare in everyday use? Here's our long-term conclusion after two years, a fall down the stairs and an inexpensive display repair.
