Review on LG Gram Laptop I5 1035G7 Thunderbolt by Paul Dahl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very stylish laptop

I've had this laptop for a few weeks now and it looks and works very well. This is a laptop for Linux developers and building huge frameworks is very fast. Sometimes I don't even remember what I did wrong before the compiler running on it tells me. This is my first LG laptop and they sold it to me. The keyboard's response is as if your fingers are a part of it. The weight is tiny, but it feels solid. The ONLY thing I can say about it (but can't) is that it doesn't remember the keyboard backlight mode between sleeps (on Linux). The keys are white and white backlit, and when the screen and other screens illuminate the backlit keyboard, the keys disappear. I turn off the backlight and it's perfect, but after sleeping it comes back on. If that's my biggest gripe, then fine, and this thing makes me happy with laptops again. Well done LG. Update 6/24/21: I still love it. On Revane's day I almost lost my mind buying my older brother. Should have. This laptop is still the best I've ever had and I throw away 2-3 a year after beating SSDs with a sledge. Not this one. I still love the white color and finish. You feel like you're doing something important, and then you're done. LG again. well done.
