The Gram 16 2-in-1 begins at $1,500 with a 12th-gen Core i7 processor, incorporated graphics, 16GB of memory and a 512GB SSD for storage. This is the design I checked and its currently only available from Costco. LG offers setups with 1TB or 2TB of storage. The 2TB variation is $2,100, which is a lot to spend for a storage bump. It does include a $300 portable 16-inch USB-C monitor, which is excellent if you want to double your display space even when you travel. The 1TB setup is available in the UK for ₤ 1,733. The 2-in-1 is currently not readily available in Australia, however the UK price converts to AU$ 3,045.

At $1,500, the Gram 16 isnt exactly overpriced for what youre getting, however its no bargain either. Its not a lot and a couple of preloaded programs, like Wacoms note pad app Bamboo Paper and LG Glance (which utilizes existence detection for personal privacy and security features), are beneficial. I could do without things like Alexa for PC and McAfee Live Safe on a $1,500 laptop.

The LG Gram 16 2-in-1 is an outstanding pick for the very same factors as past Gram laptops and two-in-ones: Its lightweight, it has long battery life and it has an exceptional screen. For the Gram 16 2-in-1, youll get a 16-inch 2,560×1,600-resolution, pen-enabled touch display with 300-nit brightness and around 99% DCI-P3 color gamut protection. Battery life reached nearly 13 hours, outlasting rivals in its class. And regardless of its size, it is compact, slim and weighs about 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilograms). Upgraded with a 12th-gen Intel Core i7 processor, the 2022 design has decent productivity efficiency too. If youre aiming to deal with normal house, office or school tasks on a bigger screen without compromising mobility or battery life, the LG Gram 16 2-in-1 has you covered. However, it does have a handful of drawbacks, not least of which is the price..

The LG Gram 16 2-in-1 does have the appearance and feel of a premium laptop. Well, as long as you dont touch it with your bare hands. The matte black surface handles to select up every last fingerprint and it takes a severe wipe down to eliminate them all. The chassis is made from magnesium alloy. That keeps it light-weight however doesnt offer it the strong feel or tightness of an aluminum laptop computer. There is obvious flex in the keyboard deck and lid (you certainly wish to avoid picking this up one-handed by the screen). Still, as with other Grams, it is strong enough to pass seven military-grade toughness tests including shock and vibration, so its built for a commute or travel. Youll need to wear gloves to keep the Gram 16 looking this tidy.

In general, 15- and 16-inch two-in-ones are too big and heavy to use portable in tablet mode. This LG is at least tolerable due to its weight and the screens 16:10 element ratio, that makes it less uncomfortable to hold vertically than a 16:9 display. The Gram 16 2-in-1 is still best fit for usage on a desk or lap in tablet mode, and LG consists of an active pen if you desire to compose or draw on the screen. Unfortunately, the pen doesnt store in the body or even magnetically attach like models from Samsung and HP. The screen and pen make this Gram an outstanding digital white boards.

The screen likewise flexes when you put pressure on it with the pen, making it a little less pleasurable to utilize. Plus, the size makes it outstanding for discussions and as a digital whiteboard.This Gram is great as simply a straight-up laptop computer, too. (You might not want to utilize it on your lap.

The touchpad is 16:10 to match the display screen, but its increased size and position puts much of it under your right palm. LG skimps some on ports compared to the clamshell version of the Gram 16. Theres no HDMI out and only one USB-A port; the LG Gram 16 laptop has an HDMI 2.0 and 2 USB-A ports.The Gram 16 2-in-1 doesnt have an HDMI out like the Gram 16 clamshell variation.
Josh Goldman/CNET.
Efficiency from the LG Gram 16 2-in-1 was right where it should be for its components. It is a champ when it comes to battery life. With some power management, getting through a workday is possible, and the Gram charges rapidly too.Again, if your main needs are good battery life, a huge screen and movement with strong processing performance for efficiency, the LG Gram 16 2-in-1 has you covered.
