LG Gram 15 (15.6-inch, 2016)

Very light weight for a 15-inch laptop. Sharp, clear display with thin bezel. Good performance.

Flimsy build. Keys are flat, with shallow travel and no backlighting.

Conclusion The LG gram 15 is an incredibly light laptop with a top-notch 1080p display and good battery life. Its weight alone makes it noteworthy (I couldn't help but show it off around the office so my coworkers could marvel at its design), but it's...

Thin, light and attractive design ; Comfy keyboard and trackpad ; Lots of ports ; Gorgeous screen

Below average battery life ; Webcam in the hinge ; No color choices ; No keyboard backlighting

Being a 15-inch laptop that's bigger, stronger, thinner and lighter than the MacBook Air makes this one of the most impressive notebooks of the year already.

Unpleasant trackpad ; Screen is dim in direct sunlight

Incredibly light and compact for a 15-inch notebook ; Full-sized USB and HDMI ports ; Integrated DAC for better audio ; Sharp display with vibrant colors ; Reasonably priced

Some flex in the body ; Magnesium panels feels a bit plasticky ; Some keyboard keys are too small ; Dim display and only Full-HD resolution ; Below average graphics performance

To sum up, the new 15-inch LG Gram is a design and engineering achievement for 15-inch notebooks. It might not be perfect, but to build a 15-inch notebook that’s so light and portable is truly remarkable. If you have been put off from 15-inch notebooks...

A 2.16 lb., 15.6" laptop! Very attractive, nice display, good keyboard and trackpad. Did I mention how little it weighs

Keyboard isn't backlit, display lid has plenty of flex. Battery life is just OK. Color gamut a little behind the competition

It's rare that we review a laptop that's unlike everything else on the market. The Samsung Notebook 9 comes pretty close, and the 12" MacBook might if it weren't so small. That makes it hard to offer many points of direct comparison, or to say where...
