LG Gram 17 Pro (17-inch, 2023)

Remarkably light for a 17-inch laptop ; Big, beautiful 16:10 display with variable refresh ; Long battery life ; GeForce GPU suitable for light gaming

Flexible bordering on flimsy ; Awkward top-row keys ; Poor audio

LG's Gram Pro 17 isn't cheap, but it's the lightest 17-inch laptop you can buy, complete with a handsome screen, impressive performance, and surprising battery life.

But for my money, you can't do better than the LG Gram 17 Pro if you want a discreet 17-inch Windows ultraportable that can do a bit of everything (work, gaming, content creation) you can take pretty much anywhere.
