Asus VivoBook 17 M712 vs LG Gram 17

Verdict

The Asus VivoBook 17 M712 is a good laptop for its price, offering a 17 inch screen, light weight, thin design, and great tactile feel to the keyboard. It is fast and has strong wifi, with good sound and screen quality. However, the keyboard is not backlit and the letters are silver on silver, making it difficult to read in low light. Additionally, some users have reported blue screens and shutdowns, and the warranty only works in the USA.

Verdict

The LG Gram 17 is a great choice for those looking for a laptop with great portability, fantastic battery life, really nice screen, good range of connections, and decent performance. It is ultra light and provides two-hour battery life. However, some users may find the keyboard to be too small as it includes a numpad and takes a couple weeks to get used to. Additionally, the laptop is set to too aggressively throttle in software by default and requires tweaking.
