Should you get an LG gram 17 or a MacBook Pro?

Huge Ultrabook

LG gram 17



$1,847 at Amazon

Pros


Excellent 16:10 "2K" display
Unrivaled size and weight for a 17-inch laptop
Good port selection
Outstanding battery life
More affordable


Cons


Only quad-core CPU
No dedicated graphics


The LG gram 17 is unrivaled as a 17-inch laptop when it comes to its sleek, lightweight body, but there are some compromises. You won't get dedicated graphics, for example. However, this is still the best big Ultrabook around.





More power

MacBook Pro 16-inch



From $2,400 at Apple

Pros


Stunning Retina Display
Can run Windows 10
Dedicated graphics options
6-core and 8-core CPUs
Access to apps like Final Cut and Logic Pro


Cons


More expensive
No legacy ports


The MacBook Pro is packed with hardware to excite, but all that comes at a high price. It's obviously attached to some of Apple's killer apps like Final Cut, but on a hardware level it's got more overall horsepower than the gram 17.





Even though these are both big laptops...
