LG Gram Style 14" (2023) review

LG Gram Style 14″ (2023) — the one-kilo fashion piece with a lagging composite

The Gram Style 14 at $954 pairs an Intel Core i7 1360P with 32 GB of RAM. The weight is the flagged strength: 0.99 kg, 32% below the class median, the ultralight band — tied for the lightest machine in this batch. Mobility reads 81 (27% above class, top quartile). The flagged weakness is the composite score at 38, 22% below the class median.

Where it holds up

Office productivity at 84.85 (high) leads the sheet, with portability at 83.3 (high) a close second — the carry identity is nearly maxed. Photo design reads mid at 37, and the 32 GB tier matches the class median. A sub-kilo body with a full high-band office card is the entire product, and it delivers on that narrow promise at $954.

Where it falls short

The composite at 38 is the flag, and the low bands follow: overall performance 34.41, gaming 23, 3D modeling 27 and engineering CAD 30 — all low band. Value at 17.2 (low) is the structural issue: $954 buys the chassis and the finish, and the capability columns do not close that gap.

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 Style 16 at the same $954 scales the format up with an 80 Wh battery in the strength slot. The Gram SuperSlim 15.6 at $954 matches the 0.99 kg weight with a larger screen. The Gram 14 (2024) at $954 moves to the Meteor Lake platform with office at 88.99.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. The sub-kilo style piece: office 84.85 with portability 83.3 and a 0.99 kg body — composite 38 and value 17.2 the honest price of carrying fashion over capability.
