LG’s Gram laptops are back for another round of updates ahead of CES 2025. A decade into the thin-and-light lineup’s existence in LG’s portfolio, the latest models load up on AI (surprise!) and boost performance while retaining its trademark portability. Four new models are launching at CES: two variants of the Gram Pro, a new Gram Pro 2-in-1, and the entry-level Gram Book. The first version of the Gram Pro has an Intel Core H-series (Arrow Lake) processor for more traditional laptop tasks (including some gaming).
The second model uses an Intel Core Ultra V-series (Lunar Lake) chip for AI tasks. The latter is a Microsoft Copilot+ PC with all the AI features you’d expect from that line, including Recall, Live Caption, Cocreator, and Windows Studio Effects.
Even if you don’t opt for the Copilot+ variant, you’ll still find LG’s AI features in most of the new models (barring the Gram Book). These are divided into two categories: on-device and cloud-processed AI tasks.
On-device features include a small chatbot derived from LG’s EXAONE large language model. It also includes LG’s Time Travel, a feature similar to Microsoft’s Recall that can call up web pages, documents, videos, and audio files you’ve visited or used. It’s unclear how LG’s version will avoid the privacy pitfalls Microsoft faced with Recall.
Cloud-based AI features include Gram Chat Cloud, a more robust chatbot (powered by GPT-4o) that can integrate with your calendar and email services.
The Gram Pro has a 17-inch (Arrow Lake) or 16-inch (Lunar Lake) screen with a 2,560 x 1,600 LCD screen. It has a variable refresh rate of up to 144Hz. Both variants have up to 32GB (LPDDR5X Max 8,400MHz, dual channel) of RAM and 2TB of storage.
The Arrow Lake model should be a solid gaming laptop with RTX 4050 graphics. The AI/Lunar Lake model only has integrated Intel graphics. But at least the latter model is lighter and thinner, weighing in at 2.73 pounds. While the Arrow Lake model weighs 3.26 pounds.
LG won a CES 2025 Innovation Award for the latest Gram Pro 2-in-1. The top-line configuration has a 16-inch screen with a 2,880 x 1,800 OLED display (120Hz variable refresh rate); cheaper variants are limited to a 2,560 x 1,600 LCD (144Hz VRR). The 2-in-1 comes with a wireless rechargeable stylus and — as its name suggests — can be folded back into tablet mode.
Finally, the Gram Book is an entry-level model that LG is launching “to expand its US market presence.” Its screen is a 1,920 x 1,080 15.6-inch LCD at a mere 60Hz. Its Intel Core i5 CPU coupled with integrated Intel graphics and a maximum of 16GB of RAM make it the weakest of the lot. It’s also the heaviest at 3.75 pounds.
Unfortunately, we don’t know just how “entry-level” it is: LG hasn’t announced pricing information (or a release date) for any of the new laptops yet.
