LG gram 13

The LG Gram 13 is a compact powerhouse that checks all the right boxes for those seeking portability, performance, and stamina. With its quad-core CPU, active cooler, and upgradable storage, this laptop delivers excellent battery life and a very good display. While it may lack some features like Thunderbolt 3 and a full-sized SD card slot, its price point is competitive with similarly configured laptops from major competitors.
