Pros and Cons

LG gram 17

Strengths

The build quality is actually quite good, not as questionable as I thought at first.
The laptop is extremely light, weighing nothing whatsoever right (one finger type light)
The screen is beautiful, 1600p with great colors and brightness
Dual nvme storage allows for good performance and fast loading times
The keyboard is good, better than a Macbook according to the reviewer
The CPU performance may not be as good as thicker laptops, but it's still sufficient for tasks like 4K multistream video editing
The laptop has respectable performance for its price point

Weaknesses

The CPU performance is not as good as thicker gaming laptops or Ultrabooks that can allocate more watts to the CPU
The laptop may be too expensive for some budgets, being a premium product with a high price tag
The reviewer mentions that 16 GB of RAM might be insufficient for tasks like 4K editing and recommends upgrading to 32 GB
The laptop's wattage is limited to 65 Watts, which affects its CPU performance
The reviewer notes that the laptop may not be suitable for heavy gaming or demanding tasks
The keyboard is good but not exceptional, just better than a Macbook
The chassis may feel a bit thin and fragile despite being firm

MSI Vector GP66

Strengths

The laptop comes with up to a Core i9-12900H processor, making it an absolute killer of a mobile computer.
The device features an RTX 3080TI GPU with a whopping 150 watts of TGP, which can be boosted to a total of 195 watts with MSI's Overboost technology.
The laptop has a sleek and aggressive design that looks great, despite weighing 2.4 kilos.
The structure of the device is very rigid, with a base that is resistant to both flex and keyboard bends.
The laptop features two M.2 PCI-E 4 slots for storage, which can fit generation 4 drives.
The 165Hz QHD IPS panel offers good contrast ratio, comfortable viewing angles, and super fast pixel response times.
The display completely covers the DCI-P3 color gamut, resulting in a really vibrant and attractive image.

Weaknesses

The laptop's battery life is unimpressive, with less than 5 hours of web browsing or 4 hours and 30 minutes of video playback.
The device is quite heavy, weighing 2.4 kilos.
The inclusion of DDR4 memory instead of the newer DDR5 used in other 12th generation Intel platforms might be a drawback for some users.
The short battery life may be a concern for those who need to use the laptop on the go.
The high cost of the laptop might be a barrier for many potential buyers.
The display's color accuracy is improved by the gaming and web design profile, but it might not be sufficient for professional work.
