Did they upgrade the horrid speakers. That was the biggest problem with 20 model. Also took forever to charge.
Battery life was nowhere near as advertised. Other than that loved the 20 model. Thanks

The keyboard is awful and the lack of a standard SD card slot makes me pass on this. For us photographers, the shiny IPS screen and standard SD card slot is a must. I returned it.

For everyone wanting a LG Gram with more than 16 GB of RAM, grab a 2020 model. The new one has no expandable SODIMM slot. I was able to get 24 GB of RAM on my 2020 LG Gram.

So no option for >8GB RAM on the 14" version, again. It's amazing the choices these OEMs keep making to completely ruin their products.

Due to the use of LPDDR, the single SODIMM slot is gone. The memory is now fully onboard, soldered and there is no more upgradeable slot.

I wonder if they finally put a LED to signal num lock is on. In current 2020 17 incher, the only way to check whether you have num lock on is an app(!) running in the background (part of LGs bloatware) that shows a pop up message on the screen "num lock on/off". This is just plain stupid.

Dual thunderbolts are welcome. Only one RAM slot that's upgradeable isn't great, but sufficient. No Ryzen option is just sad.

Gram series named and known for it's extreme lightweight formfactor, yet there is information about weight missing. Wtf?

All soldered RAM. Oh well, I will look elsewhere.

I have owned the LG Gram 17" and loved it. But I am now waiting for the Apple 16" with M1 chip. I want my laptop to stay cool and stay silent and have a long battery life. Apple M1 chip, from all reviews I have seen so far, is tough to beat in this regard.

Any pricing? I read on the other post that the 16in 1135g7 with 8gb ram will be almost $2,000????

If they are using glossy screens again, also a no-buy from me. When will they learn that nobody wants glossy screens? Asus, MSI and most of the other manufacturers have figured this out.

Did they fix the keyboard, the backspace is so awkwardly placed, the keyboard is horrible to type on in the 2020 17in. It's almost unusable, this coming from Lenovo thinkpads and a occasional Macbook airs.

Sadly they use LPDDR4x and therefore there will be no more the one ram slot to expand the ram.

No upgradeable memory and no 32GB option = no buy.
