LG’s new ultra-lightweight Gram laptops include some OLED screens and AI Boost

The newest Gram Pro laptops include Intel’s Ultra chips with a built-in NPU for offline AI tasks.

Ahead of CES 2024, LG is debuting new laptops in its ultra-light LG Gram and LG Gram Pro series. If you’re in the market for OLED displays and better graphics, take a look at the 2024 LG Gram Pro lineup. As our review last year noted, the biggest difference between the Pro and standard laptops last year was the graphics — much less the look and feel. For a more visible difference, we’ll keep an eye out for their more fashion-forward cousin, the LG Gram Style.

For 2024, there’s the Gram Pro 16 and 17, and the LG Gram Pro 2-in-1 (more on what those two things are later). The Gram Pro 16 is available in either the standard Wide Quad or with an OLED display, as well as the 2-in-1. The 2-in-1 doubles as a laptop and a tablet, featuring a touchscreen, a 360-degree adjustable hinge, and a chargeable wireless pen.

All are equipped with NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card, and an FHD webcam with facial recognition. Just like the LG Gram, you’ll have your choice of Intel Core Ultra 5 or Intel Core Ultra 7 processors for the LG Gram Pro models. In the Pro lineup, the processors include Intel’s AI Boost NPU hardware to accelerate AI tasks processed locally on the device.

The standard LG Gram series will be available in four different screen sizes (14, 15, 16, and 17-inch) and include Intel Core Ultra processors. All of them include built-in Full-HD cameras, making the smaller ones particularly handy for unexpected Zoom calls during work travel. But even the larger ones weigh less than your lightest pair of dumbbells — the full lineup ranges from 2.42 to 2.98 pounds. The two largest ones boast a 2,560 × 1,600 display — making them more suitable for watching videos, extended reading on the internet or photo editing. 

All the new LG Gram models include the LG Gram Link app, which the company says will enable file sharing, photo transfers, and screen mirroring between your computer and Android or iOS devices. The app will use AI to categorize your photos, as well as make image searches easier through keywords.
