This year I got a 15" 2020 LG Gram as a gift (well, mother paid some, dad paid some, I paid the rest, which was most)
$899 amazon
I love this thing. Light, tough, thin. Battery is huge. They advertise it at ~20hrs but i'm pretty sure that is with everything as low power as you can get. It's got a massive 72wh battery (massive compared to the size of the laptop).
temps aren't the best though, with an i5 comet lake, isn't surprising for one this thin. Gaming (Age of Empires III-Can only do so much with Intel UHD graphics) is smooth, but even with silent mode off (fan kick up) it maxes at 96c, close to Tj. This is after I cleanly repasted it with AS5.
I've seen drop/torture tests on the 2017 version and it survived.
Me, my dad, my sister all popped in $500 each for the 17" version for my mother. Who has had an ivy bridge lenovo 17" for some time. Heavy, hot, and even with a 860 evo it's pretty fair performance but it is heavy. She wanted a lighted keyboard, and this has an excellent one
Yeah it has soldered ddr4 2666, with one SO-Dimm slot I added another eight. Funny cpu-z dosen't list anything in the soldered channel. Wait it probably has no SPD profile. Not a need for one as the bios itself takes control. It also, unlike the 2017 version has two nvme slots.
Impressive, a bit expensive, but just freaking wonderful. Would be better if it came with more than a one year warranty
