    How wieldy or unwieldy is the LG Gram 17?

    Hey guys.

    I'm thinking about getting the Gram 17. Besides traveling, I'll mostly be using it when I'm tired of working on my desktop and want to have a lie down and continue work in bed or on the couch.

    I like the idea of a 17 inch laptop in theory, but I'm wondering whether it'll feel too big once it's sitting on my stomach in bed or on my lap or if it feels just right.

    Thoughts?

    You can also opt for Gram 16, big enough screen and more portable than a 17 incher.

    It's only 3lb which helps a lot, but I guess it's a personal preference. For that use case I might opt for something smaller but that's not something I do often at all. I feel like the lap is fine, laying down I'd probably want something smaller but I never do that.
