LG Gram 17 with an RTX 2050 - Maybe too light?

[Redaktion]

A 17-inch laptop with a dGPU, weighing only 1,407 grams. Hardly any other device in our database boasts so much potential power while remaining as light and compact as this 17-inch laptop with a QHD display. But, is the LG Gram 17 useful in everyday life?

2050...in 2023...just great.

Against the backdrop of Apple's success, NVidia/AMD/Intel look more and more pitiful.

Apple fits into 100W with mobile-level 4070 embedded performance in the M2 Max...

We expect from Intel/AMD at least the level of integration with a total consumption of 50-60W (cpu + igpu) in the U/P series at the level of at least the full version of the mobile GTX3050 ...

Otherwise, all these guys are bankrupt ....

LG in its laptops would be more interesting and what everyone expects is to use AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix = DDR5 + RDNA 3 + Pci 4.0 + USB 4.0 + HDMI 2.1 + artificial intelligence built with XDNA architecture developed by Xilinx taking full advantage of GPT chat that It is what everyone wants and everything at 4nm vs. 10nm from Intel. This ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix processor you can use it in ultrabook and play perfectly at 1080 in AAA games without heating up AMD 4nm vs 1nm intel.

According to professional stores, the AMD 7040 Phoenix CPUs will surpass the Apple M2 in artificial intelligence in performance and efficiency and that is what everyone who wants to buy a laptop is looking for. If you want to know more, simply write in your search engine AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix

AMD ZEN 4 7040 Phoenix = ... developed by Xilinx

One finds in every corner that the CPU has security gaps for malware, its AI makes smart phone calls and thus competes with China.

"But, it's still not exactly portable as the magnesium case doesn't appear to be particularly stable."

I appreciate the benchmark graph but it infuriates me that you state completely false opinions based on hunches as fact.

This machine is mil-spec-810h.

It is the most robust machine you've tested - literally the same classification as the toughbook.

I've personally dropped mine onto concrete (by accident) and it was fine.

Just because it 'seems' flimsy doesn't mean that it's not durable.

Sorry for the rant; you're not the first reviewer to do this - and I've had enough lol.

two additional follow-ups...

1. i just noticed that your graph is using the 16" gram instead of the 17". that seems like a typo, considering the 16" model doesn't have a dgpu? 16Z90Q

2. rigid does not mean more robust. on the contrary, rigid (as a general rule) is MORE likely to break when dropped, aka less robust than flexible. your little demonstration of the flexibility might be a good scare tactic in a review for the masses, but it does not prove lack of durability. I do not understand why you believe yourself more qualified to determine robustness than the certification process for iest.org/Standards-RPs/MIL-STD-810H
