The gram 17 is a 17-inch notebook that only weighs 1.34kg.

The new LG gram 17 was announced at CES 2019 and now it is finally here in Singapore.

It's the world's lightest 17-inch notebook, weighing an unbelievable 1.34kg. That's lighter than almost all 15-inch notebooks - except the gram 15, of course). It's even lighter than some 13-inch notebooks!

It's also fairly slim for a notebook of its size, measuring just 17.4mm thick. This enables it to have a good selection of ports, including three USB 3.1 ports, a single USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port, an HDMI port, and a microSD card slot.

The 17-inch display uses IPS technology and has a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixel and a 16:10 aspect ratio.

The gram 17 will be offered in a single configuration and it will only come in dark silver.
