Overview

LG gram is a product brand of ultra-light laptops from LG Electronics, a South Korean consumer electronics giant. Introduced in 2014, the gram line was created to address the growing demand for highly portable yet powerful notebooks. The brand's defining characteristic is its exceptional lightness: most models weigh around 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) or less, achieved through advanced materials such as nanocarbon magnesium alloy and, in later generations, magnesium-lithium and magnesium-aluminum alloys. This focus on weight reduction without sacrificing performance or battery life has made gram a standout in the premium ultrabook segment. The gram lineup spans several sizes, typically from 13.3 inches to 17 inches, and includes both traditional clamshell laptops and 2-in-1 convertibles. They feature high-resolution IPS displays, often with touch options, and are powered by Intel Core processors (or, in some models, AMD Ryzen). Battery life is a key selling point, with many models rated for over 20 hours of video playback. The brand also emphasizes MIL-STD-810G durability testing, making the laptops resistant to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures. LG gram is marketed globally, with strong presence in North America, Europe, and Asia. It competes with other premium ultrabooks such as Apple's MacBook Air, Dell XPS 13, and Samsung Galaxy Book. The brand has won multiple design and innovation awards, including CES Innovation Awards. In recent years, LG has expanded the gram family to include the gram SuperSlim, gram Pro, and gram Style, catering to different user needs while maintaining the core ultra-light identity. Ownership: LG gram is owned by LG Electronics, a subsidiary of LG Corporation. LG Electronics is publicly traded on the Korea Exchange (KRX: 066570). The gram brand operates within LG's PC division, which is part of the company's Home Entertainment and Business Solutions sectors. Despite the overall PC market's fluctuations, LG has continued to invest in the gram line, positioning it as a premium alternative for professionals, students, and frequent travelers.

History

LG gram was first introduced by LG Electronics in 2014, marking the company's entry into the premium ultra-light laptop market. The initial model, the LG gram 13, weighed just 980 grams, an unprecedented feat at the time for a 13-inch laptop with a full set of ports and a high-capacity battery. It was powered by an Intel Core i5 processor and featured a 13.3-inch Full HD IPS display. The brand's name, 'gram', directly references its weight in grams, emphasizing the core value proposition of extreme portability. In 2015, LG expanded the line with a 14-inch model, and in 2016, a 15-inch version was added. These models continued to prioritize lightness while improving performance and battery life. The 2016 gram 15 weighed only 980 grams, astonishing for its screen size. LG also began incorporating nano carbon magnesium alloy into the chassis, which provided durability without adding weight. 2017 saw the introduction of the gram 14 and gram 15 with 8th Gen Intel Core processors, and the line gained wider international distribution. In 2018, LG introduced the gram 2-in-1 convertible, adding touchscreen and stylus support. The same year, the gram 17 was announced, a 17-inch laptop weighing just 1,340 grams, which was lighter than many 13-inch competitors. This model was particularly well-received for combining a large display with portability. In 2019, LG refreshed the lineup with 10th Gen Intel Core processors and introduced the gram 17 with a 16:10 aspect ratio display, offering more vertical screen space. The brand also started to emphasize MIL-STD-810G durability certification across the line. In 2020, the gram 15 and gram 17 were updated with 11th Gen Intel Core processors and Intel Iris Xe graphics, and the gram 16 was introduced as a new size option. 2021 brought the gram 16 and gram 17 with 11th Gen Intel Core processors and a new design that included a larger touchpad and a backlit keyboard. The gram 14 and gram 15 also received updates. In 2022, LG introduced the gram 16 and gram 17 with 12th Gen Intel Core processors, and the gram 14 and gram 15 were updated with the same. The gram 16 and gram 17 featured a 16:10 display and a full-size numeric keypad. In 2023, LG launched the gram SuperSlim, an even thinner and lighter model at 0.43 inches thick and 990 grams, with a 15.6-inch OLED display. The gram Style was also introduced, featuring a hidden touchpad and a sleek design. The gram Pro series was announced with Intel Core Ultra processors and NVIDIA RTX GPUs, targeting creative professionals. In 2024, LG continued to expand the gram lineup with the gram Pro 16 and gram Pro 17, featuring Intel Core Ultra processors and AI capabilities. The gram brand remains a key part of LG's PC strategy, consistently pushing the boundaries of lightweight design.
