skipper Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Got my hands on it this week, the case is the same I guess as the 2024 Pros and all the pros. Very easy to open to add an ssd. Remove the rubber feet, 4 screws, that's all, no glue, easy and nice. But the internals... The best cooling solution thus far, with beefy heat pipes and big fans. Double the amount of speakers and all these at just 1.3kg. It has the Arrow Lake Core Ultra 9 285H, got 15814 multicore score on Geekbench 6 and 978 on Cinebench R24. Silent most of the time, the fans not disturbing when they are on (except when running the benchmarks at max setting), great performance and at the same time great battery life (I get easily more than 10-11hrs). The perfect Windows laptop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS4 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Nice to see improvements from LG, looks like they have abandoned the normal Gram line and only improving the PRO line to get people to pay more. What screen does it come with? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skipper Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 The usual matte IPS 2560x1600 with variable refresh rate at 144Hz. It has been the same since 2023 and I am glad they did not go for the glossy OLED of last year's model. At last also they use the latest version of NVDIA GPU so it could be really decent now for games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use the same chassis, they removed the mini SD card reader and they just plugged the hole on the side. The same basic design since 2021.

Just checked it and LG has maliciously removed the Micro SD card reader from regular Gram series, the space is still there, LG has just blanked it like they put dummy buttons on cars. Can't have the Pro version getting inferior IO than regular series !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Ratsey Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 I see an extra heat pipe but are the fans any bigger than on my 2024 Gram 17 Pro? Both that notebook and the Superslim 15.6 lack the micro SD card readers. Fortunately, external micro SD card readers are small and inexpensive.
