The LG gram 15 is a super-lightweight laptop that offers excellent battery life and powerful performance in a featherweight package.

The LG gram 15 for 2017 does what it's designed to do extremely well. It handles Windows 10 and undemanding apps with ease and lasts for ages away from the mains. It does all this while packing a 15in screen into a chassis that weighs just 1kg. That's seriously impressive but it comes at a price that's hard to stomach for UK buyers – in the US it's not so bad. Any Brits reading this review should check out the Dell XPS 15 which has more impressive specs for a lower price, but it does weigh twice as much.

The LG Gram 15 Z980-A.AAS7U1 may not have the most luxurious metallic build that will give it a premium feel like most ultraportables in the same class, but it does stand out as a fast, full featured and long-lasting laptop. It is interesting to see how LG finally crafted an incredibly thin laptop into a miniature pearl that weighs barely two pounds, and affirms the ultraportable status despite its 15-inch screen. The screen on the LG Gram 15 looks gorgeous, it manages extra storage and offers extended battery life. If all you need is a lightweight notebook that gets stuff done, then the gram is a good option.

LG gram has passed seven industry-standard tests to prove its military-grade durability. The premium nano carbon magnesium full metal body is tougher than the shell of conventional laptops, yet it's still remarkably lightweight.

This is the lightweight 15-inch laptop to own. If you’re looking for a lightweight 15-inch laptop that you can carry around all day and get work done wherever you find yourself, the LG Gram 15 is hard to beat. For anyone who is primarily concerned about the size and weight of their laptop, this is the right choice. It’s not powerful enough for really intensive video editing or gaming, but that’s the tradeoff for a 15-inch laptop that’s as light as a lot of 13-inch laptops.
