LG Gram 17 vs Microsoft Surface Pro X

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.

Verdict

The Microsoft Surface Pro X has been met with mixed reviews. Many users appreciate the good-looking hardware and competent internals, but have noted that the software compatibility is an issue. Many programs are not compatible with the mobile chip, which can be a dealbreaker for some. Additionally, the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack and the need to purchase additional accessories to use the USB port can be a costly endeavor. On the other hand, the LTE 4G connectivity is a great feature, and the benchmark scores in native mode are impressive. Ultimately, the Microsoft Surface Pro X is a great device for portability and always-connected use, but may not be the best choice for those looking for full PC functionality.
