Breaking the 17-Inch Barrier: The Extraordinary Thinness and Lightness of the LG Gram 2025
Since the LG Gram series first entered the market, its leading selling point has consistently been "lightness" and "thinness." But the 2025 model — this 17-inch in particular — sharpens that concept further still, reaching a level that fundamentally overturns the assumptions surrounding large-screen laptops.
Picking up the actual unit, you are immediately struck by its weight. The 1,299g figure is impressive enough on paper, but the gap between what you expect from a device of this physical size and how light it actually feels makes the lightness even more striking in practice. At the CES venue, visitors who encountered it for the first time expressed their amazement repeatedly. It's light enough to create the illusion that there's nothing inside.
The thinness equally deserves mention. Compared not only to the thinnest front edge but also to the somewhat thicker rear, it feels even thinner than the thin edges of other conventional laptops. The benefits of this thinness go beyond aesthetics — bag storage becomes dramatically easier, significantly reducing the stress of carrying it.
Particularly notable is that this extreme thinness and lightness has been achieved without sacrificing battery performance. The LG Gram 2025 17-inch model is equipped with a 90Wh large-capacity battery — meaning extended mobile use without worrying about finding a power outlet, freeing you from the frustration of hunting for a socket and allowing you to focus on your actual work.
Thinness and battery life are typically in a trade-off relationship, but the LG Gram 2025 reconciles these conflicting requirements at a high level — a testament to LG's years of technical development and deep understanding of user needs.
The thoughtful approach extends to included accessories. The bundled AC adapter adopts a compact design resembling a smartphone charger. This 65W adapter provides sufficient charging capacity without compromising the unit's portability. The included USB Type-C cable is also generously long, ensuring practical usability.
In this way, the thorough "mobile-friendly" design — extending from the unit itself to its peripherals — deserves high praise. The LG Gram 2025 17-inch is not simply a device pursuing impressive specifications; it is a genuinely practical mobile laptop developed with a deep understanding of the real-world scenarios in which users carry and use it.
Business-Accelerating Specs and Refined Design: The LG Gram 2025 17-Inch in Detail
The appeal of the LG Gram 2025 17-inch model extends far beyond its extraordinary thinness and lightness. It offers sufficient performance for business use, refined design with a focus on usability, and a rich selection of interfaces.
At its heart is the latest Intel Core Ultra 7 processor, belonging to Intel's new CPU architecture, the "Arrow Lake" generation. Combining high-performance and high-efficiency cores, it delivers powerful processing capability alongside excellent power efficiency. Complex data analysis, running multiple applications simultaneously, and light creative work all run comfortably across a wide range of business scenarios.
Graphics processing is handled by Intel Arc Graphics, offering a substantial performance improvement over conventional integrated CPU graphics — enabling smoother performance for presentation creation, image editing, and video playback.
The display is a generous 17-inch IPS panel. The wide viewing angles and accurate color reproduction inherent to IPS technology are advantageous for sharing the screen with multiple people or design-related work. Resolution is also high, rendering text and image detail with clarity.
Particularly noteworthy is the matte (anti-glare) display finish. This dramatically reduces reflections from fluorescent lighting and ambient light, reducing eye fatigue during long work sessions. Comfortable visibility is ensured across various lighting conditions — in the office, in a café, or on the bullet train. The bezels — the frame around the screen — are also very slim on the left and right sides, enhancing immersion while contributing to the compactness of the overall body.
Operability has also been carefully considered throughout. The keyboard is full-size, enabling input that feels close to a desktop PC, and includes a numeric keypad — a significant advantage for accounting, data entry, and other number-heavy tasks.
The key style follows the chiclet type now mainstream in modern laptops, with each key independent for reduced typos. Despite the exceptionally slim, lightweight chassis, the typing feel is remarkably rigid — minimal flex during typing, with appropriate key travel and click feel that makes long-form text input comfortable. The trackpad is also substantially larger, enabling smooth multi-touch gesture operation. Even without a mouse, pointing operations are stress-free.
The interface selection is also comprehensive, covering the connectivity requirements of business scenarios. The right side of the unit houses two USB Type-A ports (for backwards compatibility with conventional USB devices) and an analog audio jack for headsets and microphones. The left side provides a full-size HDMI port for external display connection and two USB Type-C ports supporting the latest standard. These USB Type-C ports support data transfer, video output (DisplayPort Alternate Mode), and charging (USB Power Delivery), making them highly versatile.
The full-size HDMI port is a particular highlight — connecting to projectors or external monitors requires no adapter, enabling clean presentations and desktop extension.
On the design front, the unit reviewed here comes in Obsidian Black, with a subdued Blue also available. The premium feel of the chassis is evident, projecting a refinement appropriate for business settings.
The hinge design is also excellent — the display opens and closes smoothly with one hand. Opening the display does not cause the body to lift, ensuring stable operation. In this way, the LG Gram 2025 17-inch achieves a high-level balance across performance, operability, connectivity, and design — a machine with the capability to meet the demands of business professionals.
The Power of On-Device AI "Gram Chat": The New PC Experience the LG Gram 2025 Unlocks
One of the most significant evolutions in the LG Gram 2026 model is the enhancement of AI features. Reflecting trends across the PC industry, this machine actively incorporates the latest AI technology.
The keyboard includes a dedicated key for invoking "AI Agent" — Windows's standard AI feature — for easy assistance with everyday information searches and text creation. But LG goes further by developing and integrating its own AI solution, "Gram Chat," to provide additional value. "Gram Chat" is offered in two forms: "Gram Chat on device" and "Gram Chat cloud." Let's take a closer look at the characteristics and capabilities of each.
First, the standout feature is "Gram Chat on device." As the name suggests, this is an AI that runs on the PC itself (the device), with the significant advantage that it can be used offline, without an internet connection.
Compared to cloud-based AI, it can directly access the user's own files and data, making it useful as a more personal assistant. Security-wise, since data is not sent to external servers, there is peace of mind when handling confidential information. For mobile workers who need AI support even on an airplane or in locations with unstable network connections, this is an extremely reassuring feature.
The specific functions provided by "Gram Chat on device" are wide-ranging. Here are the main ones:
Advanced File and Information Search Beyond simple file name searches, you can specify conditions such as file content or time-based criteria (e.g., "documents I finished this week") to find what you need. PC settings and information about installed applications are also searchable — enabling faster, more intuitive access to target information and functions.
Voice and Text Commands for Settings Natural language instructions like "Turn on dark mode" or "Change the setting to extend battery life" can easily change PC settings. This eliminates the need to navigate through layers of settings menus, improving work efficiency.
Time Travel Feature This is a unique feature that periodically captures screenshots of the desktop state and allows you to refer back to them later. For example, if you want to recall the contents of a document you were working on a month ago, the AI analyzes past desktop images and presents highly relevant information. It can be a powerful tool for jogging memory.
Document Summarization and Translation You can specify locally saved document files and have the AI summarize them. The generated summaries can also be translated into other languages. In the video review, a demonstration showed searching for a past document, generating a summary, and then translating it — a seamless workflow. Useful for quickly grasping long documents or sharing information across language barriers.
Troubleshooting Support When a problem occurs with PC operation — for example, "the battery is not charging" — the AI presents possible causes and remedies. More conversational and situationally specific than conventional help menus, making it easier to get concrete, contextual advice.
These features still center on basic operations, but they have the potential to reduce friction in everyday PC use and help users focus on the work that truly matters.
"Gram Chat cloud," on the other hand, is a cloud-based AI used via internet connection. This can be thought of as a service leveraging a more general-purpose large language model (LLM) similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT. By utilizing the abundant computing resources of the cloud, it can handle more advanced and complex tasks than "Gram Chat on device." Potential applications include:
Creative Text Generation Instructions like "Create a weekend New York travel plan" or "Draft a birthday message for a friend" generate natural, human-like text. The review video demonstrated changing the tone of a birthday message to "more spicy" or "more melancholy," showing the AI's ability to understand context and nuance and respond flexibly.
Information Gathering and Summarization Collect information from the web, summarize it, or have the AI explain a specific topic.
Schedule Management and Email Integration The system also offers integration functions such as referencing information in cloud storage like Google Drive, checking calendar schedules, and summarizing unread emails.
However, "Gram Chat cloud" naturally requires an internet connection, and since processing occurs on cloud servers, the features unique to "Gram Chat on device" — direct local file access and PC settings changes — are not available.
The LG Gram 2025 thus provides multiple AI options — "AI Agent," "Gram Chat on device," and "Gram Chat cloud" — allowing users to select and use the most appropriate AI for their situation and purpose. In particular, "Gram Chat on device," available offline and with strong integration with local data, represents a unique value proposition that is distinctly LG Gram. There is high anticipation for these AI features to be further refined through future software updates.
Conclusion
The LG Gram 2025 — particularly the 17-inch model reviewed here — is an innovative product that fuses "lightness" and "large screen" to an unprecedented degree. The remarkable 1,299g weight is a genuine revelation for any business professional who wants to carry a spacious 17-inch work area. The surprisingly long battery life from such a slim chassis powerfully supports a free, location-independent working style.
On the performance side, the latest Intel Core Ultra processor and Intel Arc Graphics provide the power to handle tasks comfortably across business scenarios. The anti-glare IPS display, a comfortable keyboard with numeric keypad, and a rich interface selection — the attention to usability in every detail is what makes the LG Gram experience unique.
The significant enhancement of AI features in the 2025 model is also not to be overlooked. In addition to Windows's standard AI agent, LG's own "Gram Chat" is on board. "Gram Chat on device" in particular — usable offline, capable of accessing local files and changing PC settings — provides a more personal and practical capability that goes well beyond previous AI agents. Combined with the cloud-based "Gram Chat cloud," users can select the optimal AI for any situation, further boosting productivity.
Overall, the LG Gram 17 (2025) is especially recommended for the following types of business users:
Users seeking a large-screen laptop that is above all lightweight Business professionals and creatives who want a spacious work area without sacrificing any mobility.
Users who want to work long hours anywhere Nomadic workers and frequent travelers who want to escape the anxiety of running out of battery on the go and focus on their work.
Users who want to use the latest AI features to boost productivity Those who want to leverage AI agents and proprietary Gram Chat to make information search, text creation, and PC operations more efficient.
Users who want a laptop that balances design and practicality Those looking for a slim, lightweight laptop that still feels premium and refined, without any sense of cheapness.
Of course, no product is perfect. But the LG Gram 2025 17-inch model represents one of the best current answers to the many challenges of modern mobile work. This astonishing lightness, the solid performance behind it, and the AI features that feel like a glimpse of the future — experience the world of LG Gram for yourself. It may well open up new possibilities that transform the way you work.
