The LG Gram 17 and Gram 2-in-1

First up is the LG Gram 17. It has a 17-inch display with a same body size as a 15.6-inch laptop. It has a 2560 x 1600 resolution. This is because of the slim bezels that allowed it to pack a bigger screen in a compact body. It also just weighs 1.34 kgs that makes it one of, if not, the lightest 17-inch laptops in the market.
