LG - Gram 17" Laptop 17Z95N – 11th Gen Intel Core i7

It looks like the new LG Gram 17 will be coming out soon. So far the only difference is CPU with the improved Iris Xe and longer battery life.
Its not posted on the LG US site yet but you can see it on Best Buy and LG Spain

Fantastic! Been waiting for them to finally announce the new models. Thanks for the tip!

EDIT: ugh.. still TB3 and Iris... Was hoping they would implement TB4 for improved bandwidth/latency due to not needing a separate TB controller. As well it's not using Xe graphics. Perhaps it's just a mistake, but it doesn't bode well...

EDIT2: hmm seems to be using i7-1165G7 according to the Best Buy product page, which has Xe and TB4. $2100? No thanks. For that price I would hope they improved the cooling to use the 28W TDP but I have my doubts due to battery estimates and their proclivity to reuse a lot of the engineering across the whole Gram line.

 

Looks like zero changes apart from intel icelake to tiger lake upgrade. Buying discounted current model is a better deal.

 

I'd love to have one, but it's too expensive for me.

 

It looks like there will be a Gram 16 replacing the Gram 15.

These get heavily discounted within 6 months of launch, was going for $1100 on Cotsco few days back.

 

LG USA now lists the 17Z95N: https://www.lg.com/us/laptops/lg-17z95n-g.aas9u1-ultra-slim-laptop
However, it now looks like this is just a small refresh with 11th Gen CPU and next years model will be 17Z90P per the leak posted above.

 

Looks like LG is doing a launch event on Dec 16th to announce them.
