LG has expanded its ultra-light Gram and Gram Pro laptop series, introducing new AI-powered features that enhance both cloud-based and on-device capabilities, surpassing the functionality of existing Gram models.
The 16-inch Gram Pro stands out as the first Copilot Plus PC in LG’s Gram lineup and is notable for being the only model to incorporate Intel’s Lunar Lake Core Ultra V-Series processors. The 17-inch Gram Pro and 16-inch 2-in-1 versions use Intel’s Arrow Lake Core Ultra H-Series processors instead.
These laptops will come in 17-inch and 16-inch versions with 2,560 x 1,600 displays, up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory, and up to 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSD storage. The 16-inch Gram Pro and 16-inch Gram Pro 2-in-1 will feature Intel Arc GPUs, while the 17-inch model will include an Nvidia GeForce RTX4050 graphics card.
A unique feature in these laptops is “Gram Chat On-Device,” powered by LG AI Research’s EXAONE model. It offers offline functionalities, such as Time Travel, which lets users revisit recently accessed web pages, documents, videos, and audio. These features are similar to Microsoft’s Copilot Plus suite and Apple Intelligence, though their performance remains to be fully tested.
Additionally, LG introduces Gram Chat Cloud, powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4, which provides detailed, web-based responses and integrates with calendars and email services. This feature requires an active internet connection and is free for the first year.
All the new Gram models come with LG’s Gram Link 2.0, enabling easy file and document sharing across other PCs and iOS or Android devices. It also supports answering phone calls directly on the Gram laptops, eliminating the need to switch between headsets or Bluetooth devices.
Furthermore, LG plans to release the entry-level Gram Book in the U.S. next year. This model, powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, includes a 15.6-inch full HD display, 720p webcam, and options for up to 1TB SSD storage and 16GB DDR4 memory.
