The battery life is decent, with over 4.5 hours of continuous video playback and up to 7 hours of light usage.
The Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, with solid transfer rates and good connectivity.
It's competitively priced at around R18,000-20,000 on the local market.

LG gram 15

Strengths

The LG Gram 15 is ultra-light, weighing in at just 2.4 pounds, making it easy to carry around.
The laptop's magnesium alloy housing provides durability and flexibility, with a bit of flex on the bottom and top cases that makes it more drop-resistant.
The keyboard is large and has enough room for a full number pad, despite taking some time to get used to due to its off-center typing layout.
Battery life is impressive, with up to 12 hours on a full charge, and up to 17.5 hours on the smaller versions.

Weaknesses

The laptop's plastic-like feel when first picked up may raise concerns about durability, but this is mitigated by the magnesium alloy housing.
The glossy display can be difficult to see outside, although it has decent viewing angles and gets plenty bright.
The 720p camera is not great quality and requires a very bright room to reduce noise and grain in images.
Gaming performance may suffer with full settings, requiring some tone-down of graphics settings for smooth gameplay.
