LG Gram 14 (2024) review

LG Gram 14 (2024) — the one-kilo office machine with a five-figure battery habit

The Gram 14 (2024) at $954 is LG's featherweight ultrabook: an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H with 32 GB of RAM in a 1.12 kg body. Mobility reads 85 — 33% above the class median and comfortably in the top quartile — and the weight is 23% below what the class typically carries. Graphics show a zero, which is a coverage note rather than a literal score: the scoring pipeline has no matched entry for the integrated GPU, so treat any graphics expectation as unverified until checked hands-on.

Where it holds up

Office productivity posts 88.99 — the top band, and the strongest axis on the sheet. Portability follows at 79.7 (high), the natural companion to the 1.12 kg chassis, and photo design sits mid-band at 35 for light creative work. The 32 GB memory ceiling matches the class median, and everyday performance lands at 34.99 (low) — enough for the documents-and-browsing brief this machine is built around.

Where it falls short

The weakness flag points at graphics — the unmatched scoring entry described above — and the low bands cluster exactly where an iGPU-only Gram always lands them: gaming at 19, 3D modeling at 27 and engineering CAD at 33. Value reads 21.7 (low): the Gram premium buys the chassis, not capability per dollar, and at $954 that trade is priced steeply.

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 for a premium lightweight.

Alternatives to consider

The Gram 14 (2025) at $1,232 steps up to the 225H platform with a 91.36 CPU score and 87 reliability, at a meaningful premium. The Gram 16 (2024) at the same $954 carries the same platform on a larger canvas with a 77 Wh battery. The Gram 16 (2023) at $954 adds a real RTX 3050 with a 63.1 graphics score — the same money, a different machine.

Bottom line

Fairly priced for the class. A top-band office tool that disappears into a bag: 88.99 office, 79.7 portability and a 1.12 kg body, with gaming 19, modeling 27 and CAD 33 as the honest graphics floor and value at 21.7 the price of the featherweight chassis.
