You've all seen it. An LG gram Pro review that's been paid. Well, this one isn't. So let's talk about my honest experience with the LG gram Pro 16 and gram Pro 17, both of which have some major 2026 updates. But how is performance, battery life, screens and especially PRICE versus some of their top competitors like the XPS 16 and Macbook Pro?

I really like how light the grams are for the screen size, but the top tier prices are unacceptable without sales.
Its almost like the prices are designed to look impressive with large discount %

LG: "We own the glass; we own your wallet too".

Now this is a proper review where you give praise and call out the issues. I hate it when reviewers only use phrases like "Is this the best? No." Fuck off. Just say it's not competitive or is worse than the standard.

Microsoft and OEMs continue to be the best advertising for macbooks these days. There's seriously no reason to buy a pc unless you need it for gaming, specialized app compatibility, or work/IT purposes.

I have TV LG now is 5 years old still working very good the panel no problem and my old the 7 years old tv dim down the back light. the one that is working after the last update start delaying at Netflix, youtube, and disney plus. generally the heavy streaming. I am not sure if that spy logic is behind and I cannot check it. but I will buy one apple tv and I will disconnect it from the internet and I will have it only like monitor and as main tv at my parent house I choose different cheap brand half price than the lg model with the same specs. Now at laptops sinse they have that logic collect data and selling targets ads why not take advance to do that also at their laptops how can we now and trust it again.

I get what you're saying but people requiring windows, cant just get a Macbook that's not a valid argument. Are there better options? 100% but anyone needing windows, needs windows alternatives.
