The Gram 17 notebook is probably one of the lightest notebooks in its class thanks to the lightweight aluminum chassis and the 15.6-inch frame, while the Gram 2-in-1 is LG's first take at a convertible notebook. Both models come equipped with Intel's 8th gen Core ULV CPUs, 8 / 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and 256 / 512 GB of SSD storage.

Might switch from my X1 Yoga to the LG Gram 2 in 1. 500 nits display and the retracting keyboard are great for tablet use but from a PC perspective, 72 Wh battery, upgradable RAM and dual SSDs are hard to let go. In fact, those kinds of pro-consumer features advocating expandability and longevity should be an industry norm, not a rare expectation to be rewarded.
Even if the Gram has a few "dealbreakers" such as the lack of TB3 port, decent keyboard layout and audio, and performance, or no innovative stand-out features, I will still vote with my wallet for this reason alone.
Props to LG.
