The LG gram Pro 17 (2024, Ultra 5) is an entry-level choice in the premium segment, launched in 2024. This laptop excels at professional and creative workloads. With an overall GadgetDisc score of 64, it holds its own in a crowded market.
The Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with 14 cores boosting up to 4.5 GHz is Intel's flagship mobile chip, providing ample horsepower for demanding professional tasks. Integrated graphics cover everyday tasks and light creative work, though dedicated gaming is limited. Professional workloads like video editing, 3D rendering, and large dataset processing are a strength of this configuration.
The 17-inch IPS panel delivers 2560×1600 at 60Hz — a reliable choice for productivity and media consumption. The display score of 58 suggests the panel is adequate but not a standout feature.
16GB LPDDR5X at 6400 MT/s of RAM is the modern sweet spot — sufficient for most users including developers, creators, and power users. 512GB of NVMe SSD storage covers the basics, though power users may want to supplement with external drives.
At 1.35kg (3.0 lbs), this laptop is impressively light and measures 16.9mm thin. Battery life offers exceptional all-day battery life (~18hr) backed by a 77Wh cell, keeping you unplugged through long workdays.
Port selection includes Thunderbolt 4, 2× USB-C, 2× USB-A, HDMI 2.1, SD card reader, covering most professional and everyday connection needs. Wireless is handled by Wi-Fi 6E for fast, low-latency wireless and Bluetooth 5.3.
