LG has done its homework before deciding the exterior of the LG Gram 17Z990. With a sleek and modern design, the LG Gram 17Z990 has a very minimalistic look. The LG Gram 17Z990 is very light and the reason behind is the nanocarbon and magnesium alloy that is used to build the frame of the LG Gram 17Z990. Weighing in at just a light 1.13 kgs the LG Gram 17Z990 is very portable. The exterior frame comes in a Dark Silver color making it perfect for users who do not like being flashy. The bezels are very thin but the only disturbing feature is the keyboard design. There is no ridge-like design to fit the keyboard and rather it looks like the keys have been hammered into the laptop.
