Gram 17

I don't game on my LG gram so I don't need dGPU under Linux (but I still benefit from dual-fan cooling). I disable it via command sudo prime-select intel and reboot. For some reason, Nvida Settings UI does not allow user to switch to intel-only via GUI. All display outputs are connected to Intel GPU

Since you are agnostic on screen size I would recommend the new and relatively light LG Gram 17" with an Intel 7 series 3 (Panther Lake, 2016) at a very sweet price of $1300 at Best Buy which is $300 off of what the price was Sunday night. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-gram-max-17-touch-screen-

Some people reported their Asus s14 (previous model) had a display issue related to the hinge. Haven't been able to find much on the yoga slim or LG gram. I want something lightweight and portable, but worried about heat issues on these

Think you have a very good Thinkpad! I got similar one last fall before RAM prices exploded. Very happy with mine. Run it on Linux without issues: except linux graphics drivers weren't the greatest, but have improved. Used to get 1-3 second blackouts, but no longer. I never hear the fan (do some lig

I've been in tech for 40+ years, and spent 20+ years deploying laptops to users. I've owned several MBPs and MB Airs. I've built PCs and even built water-cooled and air-cooled (fanless) PCs as I was obsessed with silent operation back in the day. Heatsinks, cooling, fans, etc were a big focus of min

I'm not defending the poor thermal paste application you are identifying, but I've had 3 LG Gram 17" models so far (2021 and 2024) and I'm very happy with the performance. I bought it for the big screen and light weight. Any thickening of heat pipes, additional fans, heavier heatsinks, etc would add

I've had mine (LG gram 17" 2020, 40gm Ram) for 5 years and it's the best laptop I've ever had. Only had to change the thermal cpu paste recently, as the laptop was getting a bit too warm. Otherwise, best laptop.

Thanks for your promising looking fix , I'm re-pasting 12th gen i7 LG Gram which is a common theme with these fixes, while I'm in there I'll "Electrical tape between heatsink and fan to channel air" as you say. Is this add / remove ? are there images out there assuming its an addition. Did you have

Hi, I've owned the 17" for a while and before that, an MSI Creator 17M (17"). I have the i7-1360P but I do regret not getting the RTX3050 GPU option for the occasional demanding work like video rendering which is very demanding. Otherwise, it's done well indeed for work similar to yours. If I were t

most are different variations of "16Z90" with other letters than U, such as S or T The '16Z90' is a specific configuration code, and can be looked up on the LG website (just google it). The code conveys things like RAM config, SSD config, CPU rating, etc. The letters S, T, U indicate model year. I h
