I purchased this laptop on a Black Friday sale for $1499, I had another touch screen laptop that I needed to replace, which was a Dell Inspiron 14 inch. This has been an improvement in almost every way. With Windows 10 requiring TPM from your CPU, my older Dell laptop from 2017 couldn't upgrade to Windows 11, also on the CPU front the Dell was using an Intel core i5 5200U which is a two core 4 thread CPU ( was starting to show it's age). The LG Gram 16 is using a core i7 1260P which is a 12 core 16 thread CPU using a BIG/little architecture essentially 4 performance or "P" cores and 12 efficiency or "E" cores for power saving. These newer 12 gen and above intel CPU's are incredible for both performance AND power efficiency which means much better battery life than you'd be used to if you were using previous Intel models.
This laptop will handle just about everything you can throw at it, maybe even some light gaming however it doesn't have a dedicated GPU so emphasis on LIGHT gaming. I'd imagine this would do very well in video/photo editing and handles everyday things like checking email, browsing the web, and streaming video without breaking a sweat. The screen looks great, especially for a touch screen, and it's running pretty much at 2k or 1440p. The build quality seems great as well, very light weight metal construction with seemingly very sturdy hinges. I have run some benchmarks with this laptop against my M1 Macbook air and this PC was on par with the M1, winning in some areas and losing in others, truly impressive if you know anything about the M1. I would venture to say this would be worth the buy even at full price!
