LG gram 14 (2024) vs Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro
The Verdict
LG gram 14 and Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro both pack Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processors and 16GB RAM baseline, but cater to different priorities. LG gram prioritizes extreme portability at just 0.99kg versus Samsung's heavier 1.55kg frame, delivering exceptional 22-hour battery life compared to 15 hours. Samsung counters with a larger 16-inch Dynamic AMOLED display running 120Hz refresh rate and 500 nits brightness, significantly outpacing LG's 14-inch 60Hz IPS LCD at 350 nits. Storage remains limited on both at 512GB base, though LG offers expandable options via microSD. Port selection favors Samsung with dual USB-A ports versus LG's single port, though LG retains a headphone jack. For ultraportable professionals needing all-day battery and minimal weight, LG gram 14 excels. Creative professionals demanding superior display quality and larger screen real estate should choose Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro.
