Just ahead of CES , LG has announced a refresh to its Gram Pro lineup , as well as launch a budget - friendly Gram Book . The tweaked Gram Pro laptops are the most exciting , though , with the the LG Gram Pro 17 catching my eye .

First off , it ’s been thin out a snatch , dropping down to 0.62 inches thick , which is almost the same thickness as the 16 - in MacBook Pro . The LG Gram Pro 17 is also a full Lebanese pound and a half lighter than theMacBook Pro , both of which are striving to be one of thebest laptopsyou can buy .

This is also the most powerful LG Gram Pro in the card , as it now sports an RTX 4050 GPU . The old model used an outdated RTX 3050 , which almost made it a unsuccessful person compare to the rivalry . WhileRTX 50 - series GPUsare coming in 2025 , the RTX 4050 at least brings the Gram Pro up to date decently now .

Unfortunately , LG has position its three new Gram Pro laptop in an odd elbow room . Rather than put all the highest - end part into one option , it ’s spread the sexual love across the three . For example , the higher - resolution OLED option is exclusive to just the LG Gram Pro 16 2 - in-1 , while the truehearted mainframe , the Intel Core Ultra 9 , is reserved only for the Gram Pro 16 . I ’d have preferred to at least see LG offer these in the LG Gram Pro 17 as well .

The two 16 - inch Gram Pros , however , are the sleeker devices . At just 0.50 inches thickset and as idle as 2.73 pound , they are some of the most portable large - screen laptops we ’ve seen . The 15 - in MacBook Air remains the winner in this regard , measuring in at just 0.45 inch , but these fresh Gram Pros are n’t far behind .

I ’m happy to see that all the new Gram Pro laptop start at 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of entrepot . That 16 GB of RAM is also important because this is LG ’s first Gram entry as aCopilot+ PC , which requires that much memory board to enable some of its AI features . Speaking of AI , LG is also herald some specific Hans C. J. Gram AI features , such as Gram Chat On - gadget , which practice a small language good example to locally process AI chat without requiring an internet connection or needing any data to leave your laptop . Gram Chat also includes access toGPT-4o , create what LG calls a “ hybrid AI answer . ” Gram Chat can then desegregate into things like your personal calendar or email , a mo like Copilot — which also comes build up into the gimmick .

last , there ’s also an AI feature film bid Time Travel , which appear to be LG ’s take onMicrosoft Recall , letting you “ easily revisit webpages , documents , video , and audio data file . ”

LG did not provide screenshots or video of these AI features , but I ’ll be getting my hands on these devices at CES next week to see how they run in action .

In addition to the three Gram Pro laptop , LG has also announced an entirely new gimmick , the Gram Book . LG calls it an “ entry - floor model ” with an “ accessible price , ” so it ’s understandably targeted at an entirely different demographic . It uses older personal computer constituent and standards to institute down the cost of the laptop , such as the old - school 16:9 aspect proportion screen with a 60Hz refresh rate , a 720p webcam , an Intel processor that ’s at least two generation behind , and 8 GB of RAM at the low end .

LG wo n’t herald pricing or availability detail on any of these unexampled laptops until March 2025 , but the Gram Book will need to be priced quite crushed to be competitive among thebest budget laptops .
