LG has just presented its new bet in the ultrabook computer market. The new LG Gram 17, a new very light equipment, with a large screen of 17 inches and that, inside which, LG has decided to install top-of-the-range hardware, comes with high performance and an autonomy capable of reaching up to 19.5 hours.
The screen size of 17 inches is not one that is usually lavished among the segment of ultrabooks. After all, the main selling point of these laptop models is in the great portability and low weight. Therefore, in this segment of the market, what abounds are the models with screens of 13 and 14 inches, along with several of 15.6 inches. In general, the 17-inch segment is usually more reserved for desktop-replacement laptops.
However, LG with the new LG Gram 17, does want to create an entry into the segment of ultrabooks, with a laptop that differs from most of those offered by the competition, mostly regarding the large screen size and the high-end hardware the South Korean company’s laptop boasts.
