LG Gram Pro 17 review

LG Gram Pro 17 (2024) — the seventeen-inch Gram that quietly carries a 3050

The Gram Pro 17 at $1,084 is the anomaly of the Gram line: an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with a GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile (4 GB) and 32 GB of RAM. The graphics score lands at 63.1 — 16.4 times the ultrabook-class median of 3.84, high band, top quartile — and overall performance reads 60.23, 44% above class. The flagged weakness is mobility at 51, 20% below the class median: the price of the discrete card inside a thin 17-inch chassis.

Where it holds up

Photo design tops the sheet at 89 — top band, a hair ahead of office productivity at 88.99, also top. Gaming reads 57 (mid), 3D modeling 58 (mid) and engineering CAD 58 (mid), a rounded creative profile the iGPU Grams cannot reach. The measured titles clear their recommended bars — Overwatch, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege — and reliability adds a top-quartile 69.

Where it falls short

Mobility at 51 (mid, below median) is the honest flag — this is the least carry-friendly Gram. Value reads 35.95 (mid): the Pro premium is real, and the 4 GB card buffer caps how far the graphics advantage stretches into heavier titles.

Price and depreciation

No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The cohort rate is 11.29% per year — a moderate slope for a hybrid premium machine.

Alternatives to consider

The Gram Pro 16 at the same $1,084 carries the identical platform with reliability at 96 and no flagged weakness. The Gram 16 (2023) at $954 pairs the same 63.1 graphics score with a $130 discount and a real depreciation head start. The Gram 17 (2023) at $954 is the same recipe on the bigger canvas with photo design at 48.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The Gram that games: photo 89 and office 88.99 up top with a 16.4×-median graphics score and rec-tier titles — paid for in mobility 51 and a mid-band 35.95 value reading.
