It looks very good, powerful and lightweight at 980 grams.
Somewhat expensive at $999.99US.
The customer reviews are positive so far with a rating of 4.5/5.

Do people here have any opinions about it?

This is just my opinion, but I see it as a waste of money. It's a thousand dollar laptop that doesn't even have a Nvidia or AMD graphic card (Intel graphics are terrible in comparison).
For a thousand bucks you could build a desktop that would easily outperform that laptop.

My Laptop also uses the CPU the LG Laptop has built in. 2.7 GHz is just the hyperthreading-Thing on 1 Core. On 2 Cores, it sinks to 2.5 GHz. And the normal clock rate lies at 2.2 GHz.

Here is Lenovo's Ultralight Ultrabook entry. It weighs only 1.9 pounds (862 grams)
But it also is expensive, with an Amazon price of $1,179.99US

The graphics co-processor is "integrated" so it is likely an Intel chip.

A person has to pay more to get the light weight.
I think I am going to wait awhile for the prices to come down.

Now I think I will wait five years before buying another computer.
That will give me time to practice writing PureBasic programs!
