LG managed to create a 15-inch laptop, the GramUltraslim, that's even thinner and lighter than the diminutive Apple MacBookAir M2. But is that enough?
Apple’s MacBook Air M2 brought about a complete redesign of the iconic machine, as it lost he wedge and adopted the boxier, simpler design of the newer and larger MacBook Pros. It also slimmed down considerably to 0.44 inches, making it one of the thinnest laptops ever.
Related What’s truly remarkable, though, is that LG managed to make the Gram Ultraslim even thinner than the MacBook Air M2 with a 15.6-inch display versus a 13.6-inch panel for the MacBook. And at just 2.2 pounds, it’s a full half-pound lighter. The Ultraslim is wider and deeper than the MacBook, although it’s not as much deeper as I expected, given the larger display. In any case, it will not weigh you down as much as the denser MacBook Air M2.
Connectivity is surprisingly similar, with both laptops limited to USB-C. You get two with Thunderbolt 4 on the MacBook, and the same number on the LG, plus a USB-C 4 port. Many 15-inch laptops have some legacy ports thrown in, but that’s not the case with the Gram Ultraslim. The Gram Ultraslim will use Intel’s 13th-gen P-series CPUs, meaning they’ll run at 28 watts and will feature up to 14 cores and 20 threads. Intel predicts a 10% performance increase, so the MacBook Air M2 will likely maintain its competitiveness against Intel’s latest.
So, the Gram Ultraslim has a larger OLED panel that’s lower-res and not as tall as the MacBook Air M2’s. If you absolutely need wide and accurate colors, as well as the deepest contrast, then that might be enough to give the Gram Ultraslim the edge, but most productivity users are going to appreciate the taller aspect ratio and sharper panel provided by the MacBook Air M2.
