1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:10,800
hey so i heard you can hook me up with a gram yeah yeah yeah no doubt no doubt

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,759
dude uh how much you want a grand 17

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,920
what lg gram 17. it's the world's lightest

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,920
laptop now with a 17 inch display

5
00:00:19,359 --> 00:00:26,000
that's a gram that's a grab dude

6
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,840
okay thanks i guess yeah no doubt yeah yeah

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,840
cool

8
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:40,120
like i didn't pay me

9
00:00:53,039 --> 00:00:59,120
but you know who did our sponsor for today's episode mack

10
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:03,280
weldon mack weldon's silver line of underwear t-shirts and socks are

11
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:08,000
naturally antimicrobial which means you won't smell quite so bad

12
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:13,840
it's great use offer code tech tips 20 at the link below to get 20 off as with

13
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:20,240
every gram notebook the second you pick up the lg gram 17 for the first time it

14
00:01:16,799 --> 00:01:22,159
is shocking how light it feels

15
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:26,320
like its graham cousins it ends up feeling a little like those plastic

16
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,680
device replicas that they have in retail stores so that their real ones don't get

17
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:37,200
stolen now with that said this gram is much

18
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,880
bigger than the previous ones at 17

19
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,759
inches and it tips the scales at 2.95

20
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:48,720
pounds or about 1.3 kilograms so they're really pushing the limits of the gram

21
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,759
category here but it's still closer to 1 than it is to 2 kilograms and regardless

22
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:58,960
of the numbers most of the big screen laptops that we deal with are gaming

23
00:01:56,159 --> 00:02:04,320
machines so being able to carry around a notebook this size without having to

24
00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:08,319
remember nikki v's lifting tips it's just great

25
00:02:06,159 --> 00:02:12,959
unfortunately one of the things that comes along with lightness in a machine

26
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:17,920
this large is some loss of the stiffness and the sturdiness that we were so

27
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:24,239
impressed by on the most recent 13-inch gram now to be clear it's still made out

28
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,400
of the same metal alloys nanocarbon with

29
00:02:24,239 --> 00:02:30,879
magnesium which sounds really fancy and high tech

30
00:02:27,599 --> 00:02:32,560
but it feels a lot like plastic and that

31
00:02:30,879 --> 00:02:37,760
means it's still pretty fingerprint resistant and durable enough from my

32
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:41,519
experience daily driving previous grams but

33
00:02:38,640 --> 00:02:46,080
the display in particular is definitely wobblier than i'd like and

34
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:48,400
like if you press on it in certain spots it

35
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:54,879
kind of feels hollow which i guess makes sense since it does

36
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:00,400
have hollow spots to save on weight design wise the gram 17 is still great

37
00:02:57,920 --> 00:03:04,879
if you like your notebooks plain and gray but to be clear i'm not knocking

38
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:10,080
that it's clean looking so it'll perfectly match your boring briefcase

39
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:16,159
and it's highly functional while the webcam still kinda sucks the i o is a

40
00:03:12,879 --> 00:03:18,560
great mix including full-sized HDMI and

41
00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:22,720
Thunderbolt 3 with charging support there's a fingerprint sensor in the

42
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:28,319
power button you get a full if slightly squished number pad and the super thin

43
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:32,400
bezels frame what is in my mind the most potent feature of the gram 17. it's

44
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:37,440
utterly massive display what can i say about

45
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:42,319
this uh it doesn't have HDR just sort of a drag and touch support

46
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:46,959
is gone unfortunately but it's still got great color accuracy and

47
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:51,159
viewing angles thanks to its ips panel and the resolution has been boosted from

48
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:56,799
1080p to 2560x1600 which yes

49
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:59,280
is a 16x10 aspect ratio for those of you

50
00:03:56,799 --> 00:04:04,400
keeping score at home this gives both professionals and creatives a little

51
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:09,040
extra real estate to work with and while the pixel density is a bit lower than

52
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:15,920
some other high-end laptops in my opinion 4k screens on portable devices

53
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,600
are mostly wasted anyway everything from

54
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:24,240
a premiere timeline to an excel spreadsheet looked nice and crisp not to

55
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:26,479
mention big on the gram 17's display

56
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:32,000
on the subject of premiere internally the gram 17 is a little more ultra than

57
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:37,280
lg's previous ultrabooks the processor got bumped up to an Intel core i7 8565u

58
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:43,840
with 4 cores and 8 threads running at 1.8 gigahertz which means that combined

59
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:46,960
with its 16 gigs of ddr4 memory and 512

60
00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:49,040
gig m.2 stated SSD this machine packs

61
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:53,840
way beefier guts than its weight would seem to indicate easily powering through

62
00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:59,600
regular office use and even holding its own for photo and light video editing

63
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:03,600
now one of the 13 inches main strengths in fact it's the feature we liked most

64
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:09,680
in our review last year is its battery life so then how does the larger display

65
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:14,880
and faster processor affect things on the 17 inch

66
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:18,320
well the last time i checked

67
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,720
8 is not equal to or greater than 10. so

68
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:25,759
there was definitely an impact but honestly that's still a really solid

69
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:30,400
result and other features that continue to rock on the gram include the keyboard

70
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:35,680
with a nice tactile feel despite the short travel distance and the track pad

71
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:40,400
which is quite good even if there's still room to make it bigger opening up

72
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,840
the bottom by removing the rubber feet and these annoying little plastic

73
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:49,120
sticker things we find the reason for the reduction in battery life this seems

74
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,960
to be the same 72 watt hour battery as the 15 inch we wouldn't have minded

75
00:05:51,039 --> 00:05:58,160
seeing that bumped up a little bit in here we've also got an extra m.2 slot

76
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:03,280
for expansion and then that's about it you'd think lg might have added another

77
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,880
RAM slot larger speakers or even more

78
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:09,759
cooling to fill out the extra space a bit but then again i guess if it ain't

79
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:14,639
broke you don't fix it and the gram neither thermal throttled nor got loud

80
00:06:12,479 --> 00:06:18,080
throughout our testing so

81
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:23,199
should you upgrade to the latest and largest gram well

82
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:28,160
for the same price as this thing or even less actually you could make any

83
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:32,479
number of compromises on internal specs build quality and most of all weight if

84
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:38,319
you were to go with something else but the fact remains that this notebook

85
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:43,840
is the lightest and most portable 17-incher ever so for people who take

86
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:49,440
their laptop anywhere and everywhere it's a winner as long as that anywhere

87
00:06:46,479 --> 00:06:53,120
isn't an ally fight it won't make much of a makeshift self-defense weapon

88
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,759
