Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16 vs LG Gram 17

Verdict

The Lenovo IdeaPad 5 Pro 16 is a great laptop for those looking for a powerful machine with a sleek design. It features an Intel Core i5-11300H processor, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 512GB M.2 SSD storage, NVIDIA GeForce MX450 graphics card, and a 2.5K 16:10 16" 120Hz display. The build quality is solid aluminum and the keyboard is snappy like a MacBook Air. It also has a numberpad which can be useful for some users. However, some users may find the trackpad to be awkwardly placed on the left side of the laptop.

Verdict

The LG Gram 17 is a great choice for those looking for a laptop with great portability, fantastic battery life, really nice screen, good range of connections, and decent performance. It is ultra light and provides two-hour battery life. However, some users may find the keyboard to be too small as it includes a numpad and takes a couple weeks to get used to. Additionally, the laptop is set to too aggressively throttle in software by default and requires tweaking.
