Xnote
Xnote (Korean: 엑스노트) was a notebook computer series made by LG, originally being part of an LG and IBM joint venture. After severing ties in 2005, LG still produced the Xnote series (in some markets they were not sold under the Xnote name)[2] [3] till 2013, when LG discontinued the netbook/laptop lineup.

Gram
See main article: LG Gram. The LG Gram is a lineup of laptop computers weighing around 1 kg manufactured by LG electronics.[24] [25]
The Gram was announced in September 2015 with two screen sizes available: 13.3" and 14".[26] A 15.6" model was introduced during CES 2016.[27] [28] [29] [30] During CES 2017, the 2017 edition of the Gram was introduced.[31] [32] During CES 2018, the 2018 edition of the Gram was introduced.[33] During CES 2019, a larger 17" Gram alongside a 14" 2-in-1 Gram was introduced.[34] 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. During CES 2021, a larger 16" Gram alongside a 16" 2-in-1 Gram was introduced.
Concepts
LG E-Book is a proof of concept design that was presented by LG in 2006.[35] Two prototypes have been built so far, but a release date was never announced. The laptop uses an organic light-emitting diode screen instead of the traditional LCD. The laptop is powered by a methyl alcohol solution instead of the more conventional Li-ion batteries seen in contemporary laptops. It had a keypad made of a single OLED panel similar to LG Chocolate phone.[36]
