LG's Gram Pro 17-inch with RTX 5050 and 32GB RAM hits record low price with bonus gaming monitor
LG has just launched one of its most aggressive promotions yet on the ultralight Gram Pro 17-inch, dropping the price by $500 while throwing in a high-refresh gaming monitor worth nearly $450. The configuration in question packs serious hardware into a remarkably portable chassis that weighs just 3.26 pounds despite its 17-inch size.
What's New
The deal centers on the 17Z90TR-E.ADB7U1 model, which combines Intel's Core Ultra 7 255H processor with an NVIDIA RTX 5050 GPU and 32GB of soldered LPDDR5X-8400 RAM. The $2,899.99 laptop now sells for $2,399.99 after the $500 discount. But LG isn't stopping there—they're including their 27G640A-B Ultragear monitor, a 27-inch QHD panel with 300Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time.
How It Compares
This configuration sits in an interesting spot in the premium laptop market. At 0.6 inches thick, it's thinner than most gaming laptops with dedicated GPUs, though it doesn't quite match the build quality of Apple's M4 Pro MacBook Pro, which currently sells for $2,258.53 at Amazon. The MacBook offers upgradeable RAM and a more premium feel, but the Gram Pro delivers significantly more screen real estate and gaming capability.
The included monitor alone represents substantial value. While LG lists it at $449.99, it's currently discounted to $229.99 on their site. With G-Sync and FreeSync Premium support, 300Hz refresh, and QHD resolution, it's genuinely useful for both competitive gaming and productivity work.
Who It's For
This package targets professionals who need a large, powerful laptop that won't weigh them down during travel. The 17-inch 2560x1600 display offers 178 PPI for sharp text and vibrant colors covering 99% of the DCI-P3 gamut. The 144Hz refresh rate handles casual gaming while remaining efficient for work tasks.
Battery life proves surprisingly good for such a capable machine. Our testing showed 22 hours of Wi-Fi web browsing, enough for multiple workdays without charging. The port selection includes Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI, though the soldered RAM means you're stuck with 32GB for the laptop's lifetime.
The Dolby Atmos speakers, Wi-Fi 7 support, and AI features baked into the Core Ultra processor round out a well-equipped package. While the chassis doesn't feel quite as premium as some competitors, the combination of performance, portability, and the included monitor makes this one of the more compelling deals in the premium laptop segment right now.
The promotion appears time-limited, and as with all retailer discounts, availability may vary. For users weighing this against alternatives like the M4 Pro MacBook Pro or traditional gaming laptops, the Gram Pro offers a unique blend of ultralight portability and genuine gaming performance that's hard to find elsewhere at this price point.
