The Lightest 17" Laptop in the World Makes the MacBook Pro Look Clunky

LG Gram 17

Laptops with large screens are usually considered unwieldy and bulky, unless you think of the 16-inch MacBook Pro from Apple.

The LG Gram 17 is an exception, however, giving even Apple's slimline computer a run for its money. It's called the lightest 17-inch laptop ever made, weighing just 2.95 pounds, and a $1,245 snip.

LG has been successful in developing a super thin and light laptop with a 17-inch screen where everyone else has struggled. The system was so well received that retail giant Costco also invited its customers to an exclusive version.

The older and cheaper version ($1,200/£929 at Amazon) comes with the 8th generation Intel Core i7 GPU, 16 GB ram and 256 GB SSD. It also has a LG battery that says it will power your computer for almost 20 hours — yes, 20 hours.

It's not waterproof or shockproof, but its magnesium alloy frame makes it more durable than most laptops of this size. It also has a dedicated numeric keypad and complies with strict MIL-STD-810 G standards.

The 17-inch display (with a resolution of 2560x1600 pixels) is a cherry on a rather large cake.

It is worth noting that UK consumers will also be able to purchase LG Gram 17 directly from Amazon, but they should be careful to levy additional taxes.

LG Gram 17 (2019)—$1245 at Amazon. Would you like a laptop with a big screen, but wouldn't you like a monster cart? Its only variation is that of the LG Gram. It's sleek, versatile, and has a lot of memory and a numeric keypad. Plus, the price tag is probably not going to give you a heart attack.
