The 360-degree hinge could use some stretch. I found that its loose caused the screen to float and bounced a little when I hit it with a finger, threatening to cause moving disease after repeated use.
Battery life is also completely poor. While LG claims “AI-optimized battery efficiency”, which can take more than 24 hours, I got just over eight hours with a full screen YouTube reproduction test. (Typical battery scores for 16-inch laptops work 12 to 14 hours in this test.) Usually, I arrange that test at full brightness, but LG seems to have some buried configuration that I couldn’t locate, which automatically dipus the screen periodically. Even this advicewhich I found by looking at the site could not prevent the function. The bottom line is that the aforementioned eight-hour battery brand is not just low, it is probably better than usual it would be because of the dark feature active. To that end, even at its maximum brilliance, the LCD of Gram Pro is remarkably short of brightness.
I also encountered some ongoing operational error, namely around the WiFi implementation of the laptop. The system repeatedly disconnected by WiFi during an initial arrangement and would sometimes drop its relationship during regular use, though never as much as I experienced during a first -time Windows configuration.
This may sound like many negatives, but in addition to the battery problem and the keyboard, the problems are mostly manageable. However, at $ 1,500 for this configuration (it’s even more expensive by LG!), The Gram Pro 16 rises there, and the updated version with a core Ultra 9 CPU, 32 GB of RAM, and 2-TB SSD, it’s even harder to swallow. LG still has a few kinks to work out of the design of Gram Pro, but it’s covered a lot of land since 2024 – enough to deserve a qualified recommendation of this 2025 update.
