Hello, longtime follower of Josh here.
I’m looking into the new LG Gram Pro 17 and wanted to get some real talk on the value. Here in my region, I can grab the following spec for about $1,650 (USD):
-
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 5 225H
-
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5050
-
RAM: 32GB - The sweet spot!
-
Storage: 512GB SSD
-
Weight: 1.48kg (~3.26 lbs) - This is the killer feature for me.
-
OS: Win 11 Home
I personally feel like this is a Hexagon Balance laptop in the Windows space—it’s got the massive 17-inch screen, decent dedicated graphics, and it’s light enough to carry with one finger.

AAA Gaming: I expect—Medium at 1080p

The Price Tag: Is $1,650 a fair deal for these specs, or am I overpaying for the Gram branding?
Would love to hear if you guys think this beats out something like a Zephyrus G16 or a MacBook Pro in terms of practicality. Thanks.
