LG isn’t the biggest name in laptops, but the company is quietly amassing a brilliant ultraportable lineup, and following my review of the LG Gram 16, I found myself thinking that Apple’s MacBook Air M2 comes up short in several key areas against the upstart.
After a hit-or-miss track record in previous years, LG is firing on all cylinders lately with the LG Gram 17 (2023) delivering a similarly masterful performance to its 16-inch counterpart that earned it 4.5 stars and an Editor’s Choice award. The only reason it isn’t in the 16’s place is that it’s 3 pounds and about $1,800, making it heavier and pricier than the M2 Air — but don’t sleep on that awesome ultraportable either.
