Grab ‘n’ Go
Take the Z980 Series almost anywhere, any time, without worry. The high-capacity 72Wh battery lasts up to 18 hours*, and innovative design fits a 13.3 inch screen into a remarkably compact body. But even with a host of features, LG gram is so lightweight you can carry it with just two fingers.

Premium Performance
LG gram has the performance users demand, starting with an 8th Gen Intel® Core™ i7 processor and DDR4 dual-channel memory. Windows 10 assures easier multitasking, while the array of ports includes USB Type-C™. The Full HD IPS display supports a broad color gamut to deliver lifelike picture quality.
Proven Durability
The LG gram is more than ready for the rigors of real-world use. It’s passed seven industry-standard tests to prove its military-grade durability. The premium nano carbon magnesium full metal body is tougher than the shell of conventional laptops, yet it’s still remarkably lightweight.
More Features, More Versatility
LG gram packs exciting features. Keep going in dark environments with the backlit keyboard, while the touchpad supports up to four-finger multi-touch gestures. The webcam on the top bezel is ideal for video calls, while DTS Headphone:X provides the thrilling effect of 11.1-channel surround sound.

Whatever the task at hand, LG gram packs ease, style and security. An advanced IPS display enables responsive touch control in a slimmer screen panel. The fingerprint reader unlocks the laptop with a push of the power button. And Thunderbolt™ 3 adds faster data transfer plus smoother display of 4K/5K video.
*Features vary by model.

Nice Product
I migrated from a Dell laptop about 2 weeks ago. This one is really fast and the combination of a nice keyboard with a touch screen is a good feature. Just getting used to the touch pad. I prefer a mouse. I did not like that the "LG Easy Guide" was not included and to get it online you had to allow the use and sharing of lots of personal data! Hard to swallow that.

I've tried using the 87w apple usb c wall charger to charge this laptop however I'll get a notification saying that a slow usb charger has been detected. Is there anyway to fix this? Will it harm the battery in the long run?
Gram supports USB Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 on Type C port, so it can be charged when a source device, like a portable power bank or Type-c power adapter, supports USB PD. ^AC
Power profile to be charged is like below:
5V @2A(10W), 9V @3A(27W), 15V @3A(45W) and 20V @5A(100W)
