That 17 incher sounds ideal in every way.   Now lets see them screw it up by only making it available with a glossy screen.

The glossy screen is semi-fixable by applying an anti-glare screen protector. What I'm keeping my fingers crossed for is that they will take advantage of the deck space on the 17-incher to use a nice full-sized keyboard with full-height cursor and function keys instead of just dropping in the cramped keyboard from the 15-inch model as they did with the current release.

In particular, it was the half-height up and down arrow keys in the current model that stopped me from getting one this year. It's a feature I've seen on a lot of recent "consumer-class" laptops, and I simply don't understand who could possibly have thought that was a good idea. Maybe an esthetic designer or materials accountant with no background in ergonomics and haptics, but definitely not anyone who has ever done production word-processing. The only workaround I can think of for that on the Gram 17 would be to remap the arrow keys in the numeric keypad so you end up with a classic inverted T, and even if it's doable, it's an unwelcome hassle.

Still, kudos to LG for using a 16:10 display ratio on the 17-inch model. I use both a 16:9 and a 16:10 laptop on a regular basis, and the extra vertical space on the 16:10 spares me an appreciable amount of scrolling, especially in apps with multiple toolbars or statusbars. It's not like the good old days when 4:3 (=16:12) was the standard, but I notice the difference every time I switch back and forth between the two.

I have last year's Gram 17 paired with a Sonnet Breakaway Box 550W and an Asus Strix RTX 2070 OC. I love it. It's a SUPER QUIET setup and games like a boss. I run everything at the internal display's native resolution, everything plays great. I love having this awesome display at 3lb and being able to do some heavy gaming to boot.

This new one is a iterative improvement on the last one. The only thing that's slightly depressing is it looks like it's not the 6 core CPU and since it's the same weight probably has the same exact meager heat management. I still wouldn't give it up for anything, I love it.
