LG Gram 17 (2025) review

LG Gram 17 (2025) — the biggest Arrow Lake Gram with unlogged gaming columns

The Gram 17 (2025) at $1,232 runs the Intel Core Ultra 7 255H with an Arc 140T and 32 GB of RAM. Overall performance posts 82.64 — 98% above the ultrabook median, high band, top quartile — the CPU reads 94.51 (enthusiast) and reliability 87 (up 71% on class). No weakness is flagged; the graphics columns carry the usual caveat for this platform pairing.

Where it holds up

Office productivity at 84.85 (high) leads the sheet, with engineering CAD at 46 (mid) and photo design at 36 (mid) resolved behind it. Overall performance at 82.64 is the highest compute figure in this batch's Gram family — the 94.51 CPU is flagship-tier silicon in the big light chassis. Value reads 48.9 (mid), the best modern-Gram figure on the 17-inch body.

Where it falls short

The gaming axis logs 0 for want of a matched scoring entry for the Arc 140T — a coverage gap, not a literal zero, and 3D modeling reads 22 (low) on what does resolve. Portability at 47.8 (mid) is the standing 17-inch cost. At $1,232 the buyer funds the compute while the gaming column waits for verification.

Price and depreciation

No depreciation anchor is recorded (base $0); no curve or projection applies. The 2025 cohort rate is 12% per year — a moderated modern slope.

Alternatives to consider

The Gram 16 (2025) at the same $1,232 carries the same platform on the more portable body with value at 46.85. The Gram 17 (2024) at $954 is the prior platform at a $278 discount. The ThinkBook 16 Gen 8 at $1,144 offers the 91.91 office reading with a resolved graphics score.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The compute-maximum Gram: performance 82.64 with a 94.51 CPU and office 84.85 — gaming unlogged by the pipeline, modeling 22 the one resolved low band on the biggest canvas.
