LG Thin LG 14" gram Laptop Review

Buy this if you hate heavy bags. It's the king of lightweight Windows laptops, but don't expect a stunning screen or gaming prowess.

The LG gram 14 is the laptop you buy when you want to forget it's in your bag. It weighs just 2.47 pounds, which is genuinely impressive. The one thing to know? This is a machine built for one job: being a featherweight productivity champ. It's got the specs to handle your daily grind, but it's laser-focused on portability, not power.

The Intel Core Ultra 5 processor is well above average, and it surprised us by handling multitasking and AI workloads without much fuss. The integrated Intel Arc graphics are solid, but they're not for gaming—our database shows it's a real letdown for that. The real surprise is the battery. It's a 72Wh unit in this tiny frame, and multiple owners report getting 6-10 hours of real use, which is a standout for a Windows laptop.

At $929, it's a fair price for a premium ultraportable. You're paying for the engineering that makes it so light, not for top-tier components. If you need that specific trait, it's worth it.

If you want a similar ultraportable but with more power and a better screen, look at the ASUS ProArt PX13. It's also light, packs an OLED display, and has a dedicated RTX 4050 GPU, but it'll cost more. The Apple MacBook Air is the obvious rival for weight and battery, but you're locked into macOS. For Windows users who prioritize lightness above all else, the gram still has a niche.

If you're looking for a laptop to play games or do heavy creative work, this isn't it. Go get a Lenovo Legion or an ASUS ProArt instead. Also, skip it if you need to connect to multiple external monitors—the port support here is oddly limited.

We recommend the LG gram 14 if your top priority is a laptop that's easy to carry every single day, and you're a student or business user who needs decent Windows performance. It's not for gamers, creative pros who need a great screen, or anyone worried about long-term reliability. For those people, there are better, more balanced options.
