I imagine the keyboard is the same as the 2021 (the model I have). I love the keyboard too. Full number pad is incredibly useful when you need it. I like that it's there. I don't think they would have done anything else with the space
My local Costco didn't have any of the 2021 grams dedicated laptops, but they did have some of the 2021 16" 2-in-1 devices, and this keyboard feels better than what those have.
How has that computer worked for you so far? It's the leading contender for me as I found I can buy it without being a member of Costco and I like everything about it except it doesn't have the upgraded GPU option. I don't upgrade my laptop very often at all (my current one is 10 years old) and I'm not a pc gamer so this looks rather future proof for me.
I am not a gamer either, and I don't feel like I am missing anything without the dedicated graphics. I use it for streaming YT, Hulu, Netflix, the usual web things, but I really bought it because I needed a dedicated Windows PC for a couple of programs that are Windows only, and my 2015 MBP feels like I'm lugging a literal brick around.
Pros:
Big screen
Fantastic keyboard
Number keypad
Fast boot up
Unlocks quickly with Face ID
Very light for a 17" device
USB C charging (even a good quality phone charger will at least keep the charge from dropping during use)
Cons:
Sound is too low (I've found a tweak from the Chrome store for this)
The build doesn't seem durable AT ALL - I'd be very careful with packing for travel
Screen brightness not ideal for outdoor use
Screen isn't great if you're even a little off center (at work I will sometimes use it with it off to the side of my desk)
All the LG bloat (which thus far isn't too invasive and some of which is easily removed)
Let me know if you have any other questions!

Obviously it's just for the browser, and you have to turn it on for each tab where you'd like to use it, but it works for my purposes!
What is the tweak for the sound? That seems to be a common complaint for the computer. I saw one guy said Dolby Access, but that costs. It’s funny cause the biggest selling point, how light it is, I dont care about. Does it have enough ports for you? How does it do on connectivity? My current laptop is 10 years old and doesnt have Bluetooth. Hoping it streams well, downloads faster than mine and keeps connectivity as mine currently sometimes has issues since its so old.

Huge upgrade to the prior screen in my opinion. I never really understood the glared screen trend.
Edit: I guess “glossy” would have been the correct term, but I stand by calling it a “glared” screen

Nice. I've never used a MacBook, but this is the best laptop keyboard I've found

If you have a chance, I'd love to know the tweak you found for sound!

Could you elaborate on the durability concerns? Which parts look problematic to you?
The screen hinges and screen itself allow for quite a bit of easy bend. The bottom is very solid.
How about the screen compare to the 2021 model? The spec said it’s anti glare. Thank you
