In every aspect, at any angle, the LG Gram Thin (model 15Z980-A.AAS7U1) is a phenomenal computer. LG has gone above and beyond to create a slick, sexy device that should accommodate the pickiest user. I have been using this laptop for over three months and ran it through its paces. My work did not include extensive video gaming or heavy video editing. Nevertheless, the LG gram has not disappointed me in any way.Starting with the looks, it is an extremely well designed and attractive computer. It is easily on par with other market leaders, and in a way easily surpasses many competitors. To begin with, this laptop is AMAZINGLY light! Hence, its self-explanatory name. The top display cover is extremely thin. The display bezels are narrow and create a near edgeless screen illusion. Talking about the screen, it is very bright and at 1980 by 1080 resolution, it should satisfy the majority of users.The keyboard in many ways resembles Apple’s, in terms of button size, shape and feel. The plastic that surrounds the keyboard and the trackpad exhibits a little bit of a “give” when pushed harder. However, during normal use, there’s no distracting bending of the plastic. This is, after all, a plastic body laptop, so I would not expect an aluminum unibody type of performance or durability.As the attached screenshot will show, most of the components, such as CPU, GPU, and HDD, stay within a temperature range during normal use. The cooling fan does a great job keeping the temperature low and stays quiet most of the time.The hardware specs are definitely worth noting and paying attention to. The CPU is an 8th generation Intel Core i7. Combined with a 256Gb SSD, it is blazing fast when it comes to routine, day-to-day tasks. LG gram boots up super fast. The laptop is also equipped with a fingerprint scanner, which makes logging on to the device a breeze. The scanner is fast an accurate and I have yet to experience a problem with logging on to Windows. LG has also included an Instant Booting feature which, when enabled, allows you to instantly boot up your computer when you open up the laptop.As for attaching and running peripheral equipment, the "gram" comes prepared. On the left hand side, the laptop boasts one USB3 port, an HDMI port, and a USB C port. On the right hand side, you have two more USB3 ports, a microSD slot, and a headphones slot. If you have a need to connect your laptop to a wired LAN, LG gram comes with an adapter.LG gram features a fantastic battery that can easily give you 10-15+ hours of real-life work. The manufacturer advertises a whopping 27 hour span. My only concern is unlike other “workhorse” laptops that come with a detachable battery, this device is not equipped to be easily upgraded or repaired. It looks put together without a seam in sight. Nevertheless, with the right tools, I am sure it could be possible. Considering the cost of this machine, this could be a deterring factor for some.Lastly, to my pleasant surprise, LG gram is not loaded with any kind of useless bloatware. Instead, it comes with a useful LG Control Center utility that allows you to quickly adjust screen resolution, screen color temperature, adjust keyboard backlight, adjust power settings, etc.In summary, I am impressed with the quality of build, innovative design and the overall performance of this laptop. It is amazingly light, fast, and quiet.
