Gram 17

I have a 17 inch LG Gram. Great screen size, still lightweight. I just don't find 12-13 inch screens big enough to be useful for anything I can't do on my phone, and having a laptop big enough for a number pad on the keyboard is important to me too as I use it extensively for the work I do.

No experience with ASUS zephyrus, but sounds like you are comparing Windows gaming laptops to MacBook Pros. I've been using LG Grams for years - this is a 17" / 32GB - battery has been fine for me, but i mostly do developer tools and audio editing, not video editing.

So you want a BookMac? There are some premium laptops, but they will always differ from a MacBook. Asus ProArt PX13 with Strix Halo and 128GB RAM, lightweight and premium "Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Ultra Aura Edition Gen 11", or LG Gram 17 or 18", which are the lightest big laptops. From more sanely priced

I wish Macbook Air actually challenged the limit of thinness/weight like the iPhone Air, instead of just being a mildly less overweight hunk of aluminium A 15-inch Macbook with an A-series processor, OLED screen, and the weight of an LG gram would be awesome

My experience differs, mint feels fast and light compared to windows 11. LG Gram 17, decent specs. There has been a learning curve to be sure, but smarter people than I have been tackling the same issues so I know it will get sorted out.

Yeah, I agree, I had an LG gram, bezels were thinner than my M4 MBA.

If you are tied to your desk at home then either works but you can also get a keyboard and mouse. Otherwise laptop for sure. I have an LG Gram 17” in that fits in my smaller carrying bag, yet has the full keyboard plus number keyboard and weighs under 3 pounds. So I don’t need to attach a monitor ke

Plenty of bad advice in these comments. Most backpacks will go up to 16 inches. There are plenty of good options. The LG gram 16 is one of them. Acer Swifts and HP Omnibooks are another.

I own the 16Z90TS. It's just 16" with a bit weaker specs, but besides that quite similar afaik. So, the LG Grams are the most portable 17" ultrabooks you'll find. Even looking at 16", there are only a few real competitors (Acer, Asus, MSI). I decided for LG since all of the others have glaring OLED

LG sells it for $2,099 so that's a nice discount. I'm partial to LG Gram 17's. I've owned 3 over the years so I personally would say it's worth it, assuming 1TB of storage is enough for you. If they have a good return policy you could try and see.
