In this in-depth first look at the 2021 LG Gram lineup, the host introduces three models, the 14, 16, and 17 inch variants, framing the conversation around the Gram’s signature blend of featherweight design and strong performance. The video opens by noting the size differences, with the Gram 17 tipping the scales at about 1.35 kilograms, and highlighting its larger 80 watt-hour battery and higher resolution display relative to the smaller 14-inch variant. There is a strong emphasis on build quality and finishes, with the new generation described as having a more premium, next-gen feel, including sharper corners and a color scheme that stands out from prior models. The host walks through port selections, the fingerprint power button that pre-caches a fingerprint for faster login, and the 2021 Gram’s expanded software compatibility with assistants like Alexa, while also addressing setup quirks and the initial system configuration. The video moves into practical performance notes, discussing keyboard travel improvements, layout considerations on the 17-inch model with a number pad, and the presence of dual M.2 slots for expansion alongside reduced internal upgradability for memory. Battery life expectations are covered with LG’s claimed longevity ranging from 15 to 19.5 hours depending on the model, and speaker placement is tested and critiqued, noting that the downward-firing speakers do not deliver a screen-centered audio experience. The host evaluates display coverage, color accuracy, and 60 Hz refresh rates as a trade-off for other strengths, and ends with a concise verdict praising the design finishes and overall value while noting that the 14-inch benefits from a lighter weight and high IO performance. The wrap-up teases a potential foldable two-in-one LG Gram in the future and encourages viewers to subscribe for more Short Circuit coverage.
