Q & A

Why did LG explain that the Gram 17 needs 65W for the RTX 4050 graphics?

LG wanted to justify why the performance was lower than the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro with 80W. They essentially said the Gram design needs significant changes to increase the TDP which they can't do right now.

What are the key factors limiting the TDP on the LG Gram 17?

The ultra-slim and light form factor of only 12.4mm thickness and 1.26kg weight. There is limited space and cooling capabilities.

How does TDP relate to graphics performance?

Higher TDP allows the GPU to draw more power and perform better. Lower TDP constrains performance to save battery life.

Why doesn't LG simply increase the TDP to match Samsung?

It would require completely changing the design with increased weight, thickness and cooling. This goes against LG Gram's ultraportable positioning.

Why doesn't LG offer a Gram Pro model with higher TDP?

The volumes are too low in Korea. LG can only have one flagship Gram model to compete with the Galaxy Book Pro.

What do expert users advise LG to do?

Explain that the Gram competes with the Galaxy Book Pro so the lower TDP is understandable given the design constraints. Ask users to have realistic expectations.

How does LG plan to improve TDP in future Gram models?

LG engineers will investigate methods to moderately increase TDP for the next generation while retaining the slim and light identity.

Why doesn't LG reduce costs instead of graphics performance?

Maintaining the premium design and build quality is non-negotiable. The performance limitations are due to competing with Samsung.

What are the concerns with negotiating a lower Gram 17 price?

If the discount is too high, it may disrupt future sales channels and margins. A limited-time offer for subscribers may be possible.

What are some key takeaways for consumers from this controversy?

Understand that competition forces design trade-offs. Have realistic expectations given the ultraportable form factor. Weight and performance require balanced optimization.
