LG gram Ultra Lightweight Laptop (Open Box)

I had been researching laptops to replace my well-served laptop for a few years now. My main requirements were being very lightweight, having one of the newest processors, and over 300 NITS from the screen to do my photography post-processing when I travel. The LG Gram has always been on my radar but the price was prohibitive until this went on sale @ a 45% discount from list. Long story short, I couldn't be happier pulling the trigger on this unit. You will not be disappointed. There's hardly any bloatware (well done LG!) and the battery life is exactly as expected (VERY long, but not to published spec in real life, but close. Personal notes: 1) I highly recommend buying a good skin made for this laptop as the finish is extremely prone to fingerprints and may feel too 'slippery' for such a light and expensive unit to replace. 2) The keys take a little getting used to (a little too flat) and I wished it had a fingerprint reader instead of relying on the Windows Hello system. 3) While I do not NEED more than 16Gb RAM, I wish it had more as it is not upgradeable (soldered to board). 4) There does exist some screen flex, but don't be alarmed; just know that it's made of a magnesium alloy for weight but you should still be careful. 5) Speakers shoot downward from the base and aren't anything to boast about but I wasn't looking for a boom-box. All told, I highly recommend this 2022-version16Z90Q laptop.
