I've been using LG Gram laptops running linux. They are fantastic. My current daily drive is 3lbs, 17" display, 32GB RAM i7 CPU, and I bumped the SSD to 2TB. It is lighter than my 13" Macbook air and cost $1200 at Costco. Oh, and battery life is 14-16 hours of use.


Had to use one for a few weeks. Low DPI screen and horrendous touchpad.


I haven’t used or seen one, but based on this I have a very strong impression about what the built-in speakers sound like.

Plastic case?


No way you're getting that light weight with metal

You've got my curiosity..

Oh. Now you've got my attention!


Yes, LG Gram laptops are amazing. Surprised they're not more popular.


These are great. They run stock linux too and it just works.

My coworker has one. It will probably be my next portable workstation.


I got one for my wife - it’s ridiculously lightweight
