LG Gram 2-in-1 16" (2023) review

LG Gram 2-in-1 16″ (2023) — the big-hinge Gram that leans on its battery

The Gram 2-in-1 16 at $921 pairs an Intel Core i7 1360P with 32 GB of RAM. The 80 Wh battery is the flagged strength — 48% above the convertible-class median, huge band, top quartile — while the flagged weakness is the composite score at 39, 15% below the class median of 46. The closest any 2-in-1 comes to the endurance flagship formula.

Where it holds up

Office productivity at 84.85 (high) leads the sheet, with the 80 Wh cell the true headline — one of the largest batteries in this batch's convertible set. Photo design reads mid at 37 and the 32 GB tier matches the class median. The 16-inch hinge format plus that cell is a media-machine brief, and it holds well at $921.

Where it falls short

The composite at 39 is the flag, and the low bands follow: overall performance 34.42, gaming 23, 3D modeling 27 and engineering CAD 30 — all low band. Portability at 52.3 (mid) is the honest cost of the big hinged body, and value at 18.55 (low) prices the format over the capability.

Price and depreciation

No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2023 cohort rate is 12.87% per year — a modern slope still in its steep half.

Alternatives to consider

The Gram 2-in-1 14 at the same $921 is the lighter twin with portability at 75.8. The Gram Pro 16 (2-in-1) at $1,084 steps up to the Meteor Lake platform with office at 88.99. The Yoga Book 9i 14″ (Gen 10) at $1,275 is the dual-screen endurance route with an 88 Wh cell.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The big-hinge endurance Gram: office 84.85 anchored by an 80 Wh cell — composite 39 and value 18.55 the honest cost of a single-high convertible card.
