Performance scores
LG Gram 17 (2023) — the biggest canvas with a 3050 and a mobility bill
The Gram 17 (2023) at $954 pairs an Intel Core i7 1360P 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 58.11 (39% above class). The flagged weakness is mobility at 42, 34% below the class median: the heaviest penalty of the Gram-with-a-card builds.
Where it holds up
Office productivity at 84.85 (high) leads the sheet, with photo design at 48 (mid), gaming 56 (mid) and 3D modeling 39 (mid) — the GPU-fed breadth the iGPU Grams cannot offer on this canvas size. The measured titles clear their recommended bars — Overwatch, GTA V and Rainbow Six Siege. The 17-inch screen remains the top size quartile of the class.
Where it falls short
Mobility at 42 (mid, well below median) is the honest flag — the card and the canvas both tax the carry. Value reads 34.75 (low), the weakest value figure among the 3050-equipped Grams, and engineering CAD 38 (mid) keeps pro work out of the promise.
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, half-settled slope.
Alternatives to consider
The Gram 16 (2023) at the same $954 carries the same 63.1 graphics score with mobility ten points higher at 51. The Gram Pro 17 at $1,084 adds the Pro chassis with office at 88.99. The Gram 17 (2024) at $954 drops the card for the pure endurance brief with a 77 Wh cell.
Bottom line
Fairly priced for the class. The big-canvas hybrid: office 84.85 with a 16.4×-median graphics score and rec-tier titles — mobility 42 and value 34.75 the honest bills for the 17-inch-with-a-card formula.
