The 15” Air is the larger version of Apple’s entry-level Macbook - it has the powerful M3 chip, an excellent display, a fantastic keyboard and an excellent trackpad.

This LG Gram Pro has an amazing 16” OLED display, an external GPU, a powerful Intel Core Ultra 7 and some great AI features.

Both are thin, light and portable - there could be a big discrepancy in the prices depending on which configuration of the MacBook Air you go with - and there are some critical differences between these two laptops that should help you choose.

So let’s talk about these two devices, cover the good and the bad and see which one comes out on top.

What's up everyone?! I hope this comparison of the M3 MacBook Air and the 16” LG Gram Pro was helpful. Did I cover what you wanted to know? What else did you want to see or learn about?

Which one would you choose and what would you use it for? I am grateful in advance 🙏

Should I buy used macbook pro 13" (2018) Or used windows laptop?
Budget is maximum $350 right now.

Nice vid, good comparison. However, i dont think you mention if the lg gram is made out of plastic, and if thats why its lighter? The mba is all body aluminum. Thanks again!

i've been using the macbook air m2 16gb model for arround 6 months now and think it is fantastic apart from getting a bit hot sometimes

*I absolutely love everything about M3 chips the way they perform on battery and their optimization and graphic performance, but same windows counter part gives OLED 120hz screen with 16gb 512gb and 180 degrees screen, just after 1 or 2 genrations that is by 2025 intel AMD XElite will catch up to mac, i hate mac for their close ecosystem 8gb 256gb storage and other crap*

Thanks for another great comparison. I'm giving the nod to the M3 MBA for two reasons: First, I live primarily in the Apple world but, to me more importantly, if I were in the market to replace my Windows laptop I think there are currently better options available.

Thanks for another great video! I'm looking at a LG Gram Pro 17" vs a MacBook Pro 16". Not sure if you have done this head-to-head but am going to look through your content now :). I've read about head problems on the LB Gram as well :(

[diskeed]

Good solid comparison, thx. FYI, you forgot to link to the external storage options that you claimed to in the video.

hey question do you think the ipad 9 for 127 brand new from a trusted seller is worth it?

[moakim]

Looking forward Luna lake Gram Pro next year. It will be almost perfect. I'm using gram pro 17 2024, as frontend developer I absolutely love it. I can't ever go back small and heavier laptop

Please do a review on the lenovo tab plus, seems to be the new budget king for folks who dont need a full keyboard cover but still want pen support.

On UK prices, Amazon specifically, you can buy the M3 Pro MB Pro 14 for £90 more than the LG Gram Pro. This is because the M3 will likely be discontinued next month, with the M4 being released. The Core Ultra in the LG Gram became obsolete yesterday with the release of Core Ultra 2, so £1800 for the LG Gram is a tough buy. If you want the LG, I would wait 4-6 months and get a massive discount; it is overpriced as of late September 2024.

I have had multiple LG Grams, and they are very durable and reliable devices. Although I always favour my MB Pro, it is a good choice for Windows users. However, I never buy them retail at launch, and I always get a massive discount.

The macs have always had smooth animations. But i'm team windows.

Hi. Is LG running on native resolution at @10.30 min? The icons look huge imo

Hello brother,
Make a video compare with samsung tab s10+ vs s9+
Your video is informative ❤

Macbook air has 8gb of ram, 60hz and 500nits of brightness. Just buy the oneplus pad 2, with 12gb of ram, a 3k 144hz display, 4 speakers, face recognition, Snapdragon gen 3 and for 500€ it comes with the pen included and a cover...

[woodcider]

Thank you for reviewing the 16” Windows machine. Ideally I’d like a 17” but I don’t think they make those anymore.
Edit: Apparently Gram does make 17” laptops. Great!

[MrCoords]

I don't like this trend of moving laptops to OLED. Burn-in & lifespan are huge issues, which as of yet, there are no solutions to. I hope Apple never moves to this tech.

So LG is bether bc moustly parts on the both came from LG and Samsung
