Performance scores
LG Gram 16 (2024) — the Meteor Lake Gram that still can't be scored for graphics
The Gram 16 (2024) at $954 runs the Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with 32 GB of RAM. The 77 Wh battery is the flagged strength — 22% above the class median, large band, top quartile. Graphics log a zero: the scoring pipeline has no matched entry for the integrated GPU, a coverage gap rather than a literal score, so the graphics columns should be read as unverified rather than failed.
Where it holds up
Office productivity at 88.99 — top band — leads the sheet, the Meteor Lake platform's core promise kept. Portability reads mid at 61 for the 16-inch format, and photo design mid at 37 for screen-first work. The 32 GB tier matches the class median; this is the balanced documents machine the Gram line has always sold.
Where it falls short
The flagged weakness is graphics — the unmatched entry above — and the low bands line up behind it: gaming 19, 3D modeling 27, engineering CAD 33 and photo design 13. Value at 21.7 (low) is the structural Gram premium again: $954 for a single-top-band sheet with no GPU-fed columns.
Price and depreciation
No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2023 cohort rate is 10.62% per year — a moderate slope for the tier.
Alternatives to consider
The Gram 17 (2024) at the same $954 carries the same platform on the bigger canvas with the same 77 Wh cell. The Gram 16 (2023) at $954 adds the RTX 3050 with a 63.1 graphics score for the same money. The Gram 14 (2024) at $954 is the same platform in the true featherweight body with portability at 79.7.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The balanced big-screen office Gram: office 88.99 with a 77 Wh cell — graphics unverified by the pipeline, gaming 19 and photo 13 the low-band floor, value 21.7 the chassis premium.
