Lenovo ThinkPad T495 vs LG Gram 17

Verdict

The Lenovo ThinkPad T495 is a popular business laptop that is well-liked for its lightweight design, plenty of ports, AMD processor, and compatibility with Linux. It has a 58% sRGB coverage, which may not be ideal for color accuracy and sharpness. It has a 50Wh battery, which provides good performance and battery life. It is also relatively easy to replace the screen if it breaks. It is not a gaming laptop, but can still play most games at acceptable levels. It has one RAM slot, and the T480 has two. It does not have Thunderbolt 3, but it does have a replaceable battery. It is a good choice for those who need a laptop for work and don't need a powerful GPU.

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.
