The LG Gram (stylized LG gram) is a lineup of laptop computers manufactured by LG Electronics. They are designed to be extremely lightweight.[1] [2]

Models

The first Gram was released domestically in South Korea, called the 13Z940 and marketed as the LG Ultra PC Gram. It was made official in January 2014 and weighed only 980 grams.[3] A 14 inch version (14Z950) was introduced at CES 2015. The 14 Gram proved popular in South Korea, exceeding 50,000 sales as of May 22.[4] The Gram was announced internationally in September 2015 with two screen sizes available: 13.3" and 14".[5] They were the first LG laptops to be released in the US.[6] A 15.6" model was introduced during CES 2016.[7] [8] [9] It was recognized as the lightest 15 inch laptop in the world.[10] [11]

During CES 2017, the 2017 edition of the Gram was introduced.[12] [13] During CES 2018, the 2018 edition of the Gram was introduced.[14] During CES 2019, a larger 17" Gram alongside a 14" 2-in-1 Gram was introduced.[15]

During CES 2021, a larger 16" Gram alongside a 16" 2-in-1 Gram was introduced.[16]

In April 2022, the updated 2022 lineup of Gram was announced, which run on 12th generation Intel Core. Additionally, these come with the newer LPDDR5 type of RAM, and for the first time offer optional NVIDIA video cards for improved graphical performance.[17]

The 2023 Gram models are upgraded to 13th generation Raptor Lake Intel Core processors and variable refresh rate displays.[18]

In December 2023 and at CES 2024, LG announced the next generation Grams, with the new flagship being called the Gram Pro (in 16" and 17") and the convertible Gram Pro 2-in-1. The regular Gram line has also been upgraded.[19]

Gram SuperSlim, Style, +View

The line was diversified with the LG Gram 2-in-1 in 2019.[20] More 2-in-1 laptops in 14 and 16 inch versions were introduced in 2021.[21]

At CES 2023, two new models of the Gram were introduced: Gram SuperSlim and Gram Style.[22] The Gram SuperSlim was called the thinnest laptop at just 0.43 inches thick.[23] The LG Gram Style meanwhile appears to change exterior color depending on angle and lighting.[24] The LG Gram +View portable monitor was released in 2022. In August 2023, an updated Gram +View was announced.[25]

Reception and marketing

Gram's marketing is held with the light weight of it. As the weight 980 gram is the maximum weight that it could have in all condition, LG was famous for its modest marketing in Korea.[26]
