So I did a durability test on the 2017 LG Gram and it went pretty well, but there were

A few people wanted to know what the camera lens was made out of.

It looks like it’s made out of plastic, but since this isn’t like a portable, in

your pocket device, I don’t think that’s too big of an issue.

Another person wanted to know if the charging port still worked, which it does.

You can see it charging here in the corner.

Surprising to me, though, was that some of you said the drop test wasn’t violent enough.

So let’s try it one more time on some concrete stairs.

Looks like we got a little damage on the edges here… on the corner.

We got a small bend right there on the corner.

So now that we know the laptop can survive a 200 pound guy standing on it, being dropped

normally on a carpeted floor, and being dropped down a flight of concrete steps, let’s take

I’m curious to see how big the battery actually is inside of this thing.

This laptop was given to me by LG to durability test and teardown, which is rather brave of

Opening up the laptop is actually pretty easy.

And then all of the Philips head screws are hidden under these circular tabs and rubber

Even without the screws in place, the back is still very solidly snapped into the frame

so it takes some pretty heavy prying to remove it.

I’ll talk more about this in a second, but it’s a 60 watt hour battery with an advertized

life span of 17 hours - pretty darn impressive for a laptop.

It’s got a copper heat pipe system over the processor – similar to what we saw inside

the LG G6, except for this one also has a fan attached to it.

Speaking of cool, the ports are detached from the motherboard and on a separate PCB.

I imagine this is to help keep the laptop super thin, but it’s also good for reparability.

If one of your ports breaks, you don’t need a new motherboard, you can just swap out the

We have two USB ports, the headphone jack, and a micro SD card slot on this side.

And on the far side we have a charging port, another USB port, an HDMI and a USB-C port.

This laptop needs zero dongles in order to be useful – it’s ready to rock right out

Speaking of useful, LG has upgradability, longevity, and reparability in mind when designing

If you were to buy an Apple laptop, this would be soldered onto the large motherboard which

But with this LG Gram, in a few years when the specs are outdated, you can just plop

in a higher capacity RAM stick and continue being productive.

This laptop comes with 512 gigabytes, but a few years down the road as games and video

files keep increasing in size, you might want to upgrade.

This M.2 slot allows for upgrading hard drives.

If you were to buy a new MacBook from Apple a few years from now, you’ll be left high

and dry with no upgradable hardware, so I’m super glad that LG is still looking out for

There are 6 screws around the edge of this gigantic thing.

I can unclip it from the motherboard and the 60 watt hour battery comes loose.

It looks like it has 4 separate quadrants inside of it which is interesting.

And another cool thing I noticed when I tossed it down those concrete stairs is that there

are super strong magnets in the base and the lid holding it together.

Since this laptop is so lightweight, the magnets make sure that the lid doesn’t fall open

And lastly, if your screen does break somehow, the hinge connectors are here, along with

The What’s Inside YouTube channel dropped one of these laptops from 25 feet onto concrete

So a broken screen is going to be pretty rare.

I’ll clip that battery back in with it’s 6 screws.

And then that back panel made from the special nano carbon magnesium alloy snaps into place

Overall, this laptop is a solid and durable build with ports and replaceable components.

As with all electronics, the price is always changing so I’ll add a link in the video

description for the most current up to date pricing on this laptop.

Huge thanks to LG for sending me this one to review.

And let me know in the comments which laptop you want to see me review next.
