LG gram 17

The LG Gram 17 brand new for 2024 is a testament to innovation in portability. This ultralight laptop weighs next to nothing, making it perfect for those who prioritize mobility without sacrificing performance. With a stunning 1600p screen and dual NVMe storage, this device checks all the right boxes for creatives and professionals on-the-go. My review will delve into its strengths and weaknesses, exploring whether this laptop's compromises in CPU power are offset by its remarkable portability and premium features.

Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 is an all-in-one Chromebook that blends the lines between laptop and tablet. While not considered a full-fledged PC, this device offers some capabilities that inch closer to that mark at an affordable price. With a keyboard, kickstand, and stylus holder, it's designed for productivity on-the-go, but its battery life falls short at around 6 hours. This review explores whether the Duet 3 can deliver on its promise of being a versatile, everyday device.
