The LG Gram 17 (2024) measures 378 x 258 x 17mm with a total volume of 1,657.9 cm³, and despite its large 17-inch footprint it weighs just 1,350g, making it notably light for its screen class. It uses active cooling rather than a fanless design, and the keyboard does not include backlighting. The chassis is not weather-sealed or splashproof.
The LG Gram 17 (2024) features a 17-inch LED-backlit IPS LCD panel with a 2560x1600 resolution and a 1200:1 contrast ratio, running at 60Hz with 350 nits of typical brightness. It includes an anti-reflection coating, which helps reduce glare under ambient lighting conditions. The display does not support touch input, and the system is capable of driving up to four connected displays simultaneously.
The LG Gram 17 (2024) is driven by a processor with six cores running at 1.4GHz and eight at 0.9GHz, reaching a turbo speed of 4.8GHz across 22 threads with multithreading enabled, built on a 7nm semiconductor process. It comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM — expandable up to 96GB — paired with a 512GB NVMe SSD running over a PCIe 5 flash-based interface. The integrated GPU operates at 300MHz base and 2,250MHz turbo with DirectX 12 Ultimate support, and the system runs fully in 64-bit mode.
The LG Gram 17 (2024) achieves a PassMark multi-threaded score of 24,879, reflecting the processor's overall throughput across parallel workloads, while the single-threaded result comes in at 3,468, indicating per-core output under isolated tasks.
The LG Gram 17 (2024) includes one Thunderbolt 4 port that also serves as a USB 4 40Gbps port, along with one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, providing the primary wired peripheral connections. An HDMI output and an external memory card slot are also present, the latter being a convenient addition for direct media transfers. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6, 5, and 4 standards alongside Bluetooth 5.3 and AirPlay support. DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, VGA, and RJ45 Ethernet ports are all absent, and there are no USB 3.2 Gen 1 or additional Type-C ports beyond the Thunderbolt 4 connection.
The LG Gram 17 (2024) carries a 77Wh battery with a rated life of 21.5 hours, making it well suited for extended use away from a power source. Sleep-and-charge support allows connected devices to draw power through the USB ports while the laptop is idle, and the device does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
The LG Gram 17 (2024) includes stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support, a 3.5mm headset jack, a single microphone, and a front camera. Notably, it also features an optical disc drive, which is uncommon in modern laptops of this size. Biometric options are absent — there is no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command capability — and no stylus is included. S/PDIF output is not present, and the device lacks motion and location sensors including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS.
The processor uses a BGA 2049 socket with a clock multiplier of 38, a locked multiplier, a 28W TDP, and a maximum operating temperature of 110°C, with big.LITTLE technology managing workload distribution across core types. It includes NX bit support, a 24MB L3 cache, dual memory channels with a maximum RAM speed of 7,467MHz, and supports instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, while ECC memory is not supported. Graphics are handled by the integrated Intel Arc Xe-LPG 128EU, featuring 1,024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 render output units, and 8 execution units, with OpenCL 3 and OpenGL 4.6 support. The overclocked PassMark result is 24,880.
