LG Gram 17 (2024) vs Razer Blade Stealth 13
The Verdict
LG Gram 17 and Razer Blade Stealth 13 serve fundamentally different needs. The Gram 17 excels as a productivity powerhouse with its massive 17-inch WQXGA display (2560 x 1600), 16-core Intel Core Ultra 7 155H processor, and exceptional 17-hour battery life from a 90 Wh cell. At just 1.35 kg, it proves ultraportable despite its size. Port selection is generous: three USB-A ports, two Thunderbolt connections, HDMI, and SD card reader make it ideal for professionals managing multiple peripherals. The Blade Stealth 13 prioritizes compact mobility with its 13.3-inch 1920 x 1200 display and 1.4 kg frame, plus superior brightness at 400 nits versus the Gram's 350 nits. However, the Blade Stealth 12th-gen Intel Core i7-1260P feels dated compared to the newer Core Ultra 7, and its 7-hour battery life severely limits portability despite the ultraportable chassis. Storage is non-expandable on the Blade, and it lacks HDMI and SD card support. At $1599 versus $1799, the Gram 17 offers better value with superior processing power, dramatically longer battery endurance, and more flexible connectivity. Choose the Gram if you need productivity and travel comfort; pick the Blade only if you absolutely require maximum portability and premium build quality matters more than functionality.
