Today we’re looking at the LG Gram, which falls into our favorite category of laptops: high-end slim and light machines. This latest version of the LG Gram has been around for a few months now, and you might have already seen some reviews of the flagship 15-inch model. However when LG asked if we were interested in reviewing the Gram, we specifically requested the smaller 13-inch entry-level model. After all, a lot of buyers are interested in the more affordable configurations that they can easily carry around.

Most of the hardware here won’t come as a surprise: we’re looking at an Intel Core i5-8250U processor, though you can configure the system up to the i7-8550U. There’s also 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, a 13-inch 1080p display, and an enormous 72 Wh battery. All of this will set you back a touch under $1,000 or thereabouts on Amazon.
