LG Gram 15 (2018) Review
The perfect laptop for travel includes performance, battery life, connectivity and a lightweight design. The new LG gram 15 for 2018 has it all but at a serious cost.
Combining top-end specs and lightweight design comes at a price and the LG gram 15, like last year's model (Z980) is eye-wateringly expensive. The gram 15 for 2018 starts at $1,749 which is already a lot. However, it goes up to $1,999 if you want the top-end model.
We're reviewing the most expensive LG gram 15 here and while the laptop is available from Amazon in the US, it's a lot harder to find in the UK. As with last year's model, you'll need to get it from Ultraboooks for a whopping £2,279.
It's clear then that isn't a laptop for the masses, with LG telling us it's aimed at business men and women aged 30-40 who need a lightweight and long-lasting device. Presumably, these people have salaries that can cope with the price tag.
This price is still cheaper than the top-end MacBook Pro with Touchbar, which is £2,699 with previous gen Intel and have the storage.
Back in the Windows world and a key rival is the Dell XPS 15, where the old model will save you around a grand and the new 2018 model is still a lot cheaper - if you don't mind something a fair bit heavier that is.
