This is the best deal on a 17" laptop you'll find on Prime Day

So, you want to go big – as in a 17-inch display – but you don't want to lug around a 5-pound laptop? LG's one-of-a-kind Gram 17 is your answer. And with today's Amazon Prime Day deal, you can have one for just $999 while saving $200 off the regular price.

Let us be clear the Gram 17 is just a typical 13-inch laptop in a 15-inch body with a 17-inch display. But it is also unique as there are precisely ZERO 17-inch laptops that weigh just 2.98 pounds (1.35 kg). That is light for a 13-inch laptop, let alone one with a 2K 17-inch 16:10 screen.

The LG Gram 17 is just a 13-inch Ultrabook blown up, but it's also just an outstanding laptop. The color-accurate display, all-day battery life, and the 17-inch 16:10 wall of a screen all in something that weighs just 2.98lbs (1.35 kg) are outstanding.

In my 2020 LG Gram 17 review, I noted how great the display was, the long battery life, and the excellent assortment of ports (three Type-A, one Thunderbolt 3, full HDMI 1.4, microSD, and headphone jack). It also gets solid performance with its 10th Gen Intel processor and Intel Iris Xe graphics.

Sure, it lacks a discrete NVIDIA GPU for serious gaming, but this is a $1,000 17-inch laptop that weighs less than three pounds! Plus, with its substantial 80WHr battery and tiny 65-watt charger, you can get at least eight hours of real-world battery usage and over ten if you're careful with the display brightness.

The Gram 17 is ideal for creators, writers, photo editors, and anyone who enjoys working on an excellent "2K" display without straining their back. Opening that 17-inch matte display and typing away on the superb keyboard is like having a desktop in your lap without the heat or weight.

The LG Gram 17 is one of my favorite laptops for that rare creator who desires a 17-inch screen but doesn't need a ton of horsepower (and doesn't want to break the bank). That $999 price is the lowest we've seen, making this one of the best 17-inch laptop deals yet.
