I prefer to wait for NovaLake and AMD Zen 6 and see if LG commits to both processors by 2027 because Pantherlake has been disappointing in terms of CPU and NPU, which hasn't surpassed AMD and has only improved the iGPU, which has matched RDNA 3.5, but only just. I have high hopes for Intel in 2027, as well as for AMD Zen 6.
LG's Gram Max 17 ships with an Intel Core Ultra 7 355, 32 GB of RAM, a 1 TB SSD, and a 2.5K IPS touchscreen. A pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports and support for the latest wireless connectivity standards complete the package.
