Our Verdict
LG gram Pro 16 (2024)
LG gram 16 (2024)
The LG gram Pro 16 (2024) and the LG gram 16 (2024) represent two tiers from LG's ultraportable product stack. The Pro model is better overall. The Pro model offers much better build quality; despite both models sharing the same design language and using the same magnesium alloy, it's more rigid, feels more durable, and picks up far fewer fingerprints during use. Our non-Pro unit came with a warped display assembly and had issues with gaping around the webcam module. The Pro model also has some options to help with the user experience, like a 2.8k OLED display. In terms of performance, the Pro model performs better despite sharing the same hardware. That said, if you need the longest battery life possible, the non-Pro gram offers vastly superior battery life than the Pro model, coming in at just over 15 hours for light use.
