Today we’re going to something a little bit different.

This is the first video in a series of videos about laptop durability.

Normally I deal with cell phones, but laptops are portable as well, and still suffer the

same amount of abuse being toted around everywhere.

LG was brave enough to send me the LG Gram, one of the thinnest and lightest laptops in

existence – while boasting some pretty powerful specs.

I’ll leave a link down in the video description if you want to check out some of those specs.

But this video is going to be about durability.

This brand new 15 inch lap top from LG is one of the lightest and most portable laptops

on the planet, weighing in at just 2.2 pounds, which is considerably lighter than Apple’s

new Mac Book Pro which lands at just over 3 pounds.

Now when talking about the exterior surface material, LG says it is a nano carbon magnesium

alloy, which at my first impression legitimately had the look and feel of cold metal right

out of the box, and even has the same metallic sound we’ve all come to love.

But when I get out the razor blade and dig a little deeper through that top metallic

coating, there is plastic material underneath.

Now this doesn’t bother me too much on a laptop.

This laptop was specifically built to be light, portable, and powerful, and they’ve accomplished

My level 3 Mohs pick tells us that this laptop has a 7th generation i7 processor, with 16

gigabytes of RAM, and a huge 512 gigabyte SSD hard drive.

LG said that these nano carbon metallic powders on the surface improve the laptop’s strengths

by 26 percent, but we’ll have to test that out in a minute.

The keyboard is also plastic, and that’s normal.

I can’t think of a single laptop keyboard with metal keys.

If you know of one let me know about it in the comments.

So when I was first thinking about doing durability tests on laptops besides just build quality

checks, I tweeted it out and there was some really good suggestions from you guys, the

most relevant of which I think is the drop test because that’s probably what happens

most to laptops…you know, being dropped off a table or being dropped out of a backpack.

For me personally, anytime I’ve almost damaged a laptop is when it’s been plugged in and

sitting on a table and someone walks by and accidentally like kicks that cable and pulls

Luckily with the LG Gram, they are boasting a 12 hour battery life which is pretty impressive.

So I imagine it’s not going to be plugged in a whole lot, but just for the sake of continuity

across all of my laptop tests, we’re going to do this one plugged into the wall.

You’ve got to admit that this is a pretty good looking laptop.

It’s got the super thin bezels on the side, it’s got the touch lit keypad, and it’s

got enough ports it’s almost like LG wants you to be productive with their laptop.

So right now the laptop is on and completely functioning.

It’s a brand new laptop, there are a couple scratches but that’s not going to affect

I’m going to stand up and trip over this cable, which I think is the most common drop

Let’s attempt drop number two – same cable.

Drop number two – still completely functioning.

It’s almost like this laptop is so light that there’s no weight.

There’s not enough weight to actually damage any of the internal components or the screen

I’m going to open up the laptop as far as it will go and drop it one more time.

And still nothing wrong with the laptop – still functioning completely.

The last thing I’m going to do is the crush test because we know laptops are mostly in

backpacks or book bags, and sometimes they get leaned up against you on the subway or

So I’m going to close the laptop and stand on it.

Now I weight about 200 pounds, so if this thing can survive a crush test of 200 pounds,

it can probably survive anybody leaning up against it.

Stepping on a laptop – all of my weight directly on top of it.

So even after being stepped on with 200 pounds of pressure, the screen is still completely

functioning and nothing is wrong with the laptop.

Let me know if there are any other tests that I should do in my laptop series.

Leave them down in the comments below and I will read them.

I will also leave a link in the description of this video for this laptop.

If it can survive three drops and 200 pounds of pressure, I would consider it pretty durable.

It would be interesting to see how big the battery is inside of this laptop when I do
