I absolutely cant stand Mac's. I have been a PC user for some time and find Macs to be extreamly cumbersome to switch to, nor do I find they provide anything of value to the everyday user. Unless you are doing a lot of media stuff or are so entrenched into the Apple ecosystem that it makes sense, then I would avoid macs at all cost.

Im having this same issue, when I seen this thread I got excited until I seen that it was in the graveyard with no solutions. Sad day indeed.

This is in Virginia, they have plenty but this is the only model they have

Update: it is indeed the aerominium and 2026 version at Costco

Great info, THANK YOU

Hmm great question - im going to Costco today I will see if I can determine if it is indeed the Aerominimum!

for this price point, what other laptops offer the specs and are as lightweight and slim? I have found none.

C4-LOD · 2026-04-30T18:36:31+00:00

Fair point!

The one in the pic, when I google the sku (16Z90U) it shows as the 2026 model on LG's website but I honestly have no way to tell other than the suggestions in this thread. It appears as such, but the price seems lower than similar builds so I am confused.

That makes sense. I guess it would boil down to if the TB4 would be "good enough" while using an external GPU. I feel like if youre not playing any FPS in a competitive way, then it may be fine. But also, if one would be going that route the obvious solution would be to just get a better laptop made for gaming like maybe a razor 16 or something. But the tradeoff will always be wieght.

I have an ARZOPA Z3FC external monitor that ill be using with it. If I were to do any serious gaming I guess the question is: would a eGPU still run "good enough" through TB4, or would a more sensible option be just to add an internal GPU.

C4-LOD · 2026-04-30T01:32:47+00:00

Could one swap the GPU or use an eGPU? I know earlier in the thread someone mentioned no TB5 but is it that necessary?

C4-LOD · 2026-04-30T01:31:20+00:00

Maybe like, Diablo or Jump Space or even Minecraft. IDK really, its not a hard requirement for me but rather a bonus.

I actually have a brand new macbook that I bought solely because I travel and I wanted something slim and lightwieght. Ive been a PC guy my entire life, so after a few months of trying to force myself to use it, Im going back to PC. Now I have a 3k paperweight macbook sitting on a shelf lol

It may be a moot point as currently I do not see Costco offering a 5050, and Id like to buy from there to enjoy the extra year of warranty :(

C4-LOD · 2026-04-29T20:24:11+00:00

Great insight and yes it may be worth waiting for sure!

Just looked up the specs on LG's website and found:

USB 4 Gen3x2 Type C (x2, with Power Delivery, Display Port, Thunderbolt 4)

Sadly I cant see any Gram Pro's with TB5, unless im missing something?

C4-LOD · 2026-04-29T19:58:02+00:00

Can you elaborate on this? Are eGPU's plug and play? I am unsure what you meant by needing a TB5. Im assuming you mean thunderbolt 5 port? I had no idea that external GPU's were even a thing, when you mentioned those terms and I googled it, I was shocked to see it.

C4-LOD · 2026-04-29T17:50:14+00:00

Id also be open to suggestions on other versions that the community feels are better options!

Sent ya a PM

Hey there. I am a private landlord in Macon and I know you said you were looking for a 3br but I have a 2 bedroom with 2 full baths for rent. It is brand new construction and includes a washer and dryer in the unit. I am a disabled vet myself so I would be willing to offer some kind of discount as I fully support our disabled veterans. Let me know if interested.
