I tested 35+ ultraportable Windows PCs last year, but only one seems to defy physics

ZDNET reviews the LG Gram 17 (2025), highlighting its ultra-light 17-inch design, Intel Core Ultra 7 "Lunar Lake" performance, 32GB RAM/1TB storage, bright WQXGA touchscreen, solid 8–10 hour battery, and robust I/O, while noting drawbacks like a wobbly screen, fingerprint-prone matte finish, average speakers, and lack of a haptic trackpad; LG’s on-device AI (Gram Chat) is limited. Compared to the Gram Pro 17, the Pro offers more cores, a larger 90Wh battery, and a 144Hz display in a slightly thinner/lighter build at a higher price; the reviewer recommends the base Gram 17, especially at its $1,199 sale price (regularly $1,700).
