LG is updating its Gram laptop lineup ahead of CES 2025

LG’s Gram laptops are back for another round of updates CES 2025. A a decade c thin and light composition existence in LG’s portfolio, the latest models are loaded with AI (surprise!) and boost performance while maintaining their 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 under the hood for more traditional laptop tasks (including some gaming). The second model uses an Intel Core Ultra V-series (Lunar Lake) chip for artificial intelligence tasks. The last one is a Microsoft Copilot+ PC with everyone AI extras expected from this line, incl RememberLive Captions, Cocreator and Windows Studio Effects.

Even if you don’t opt ​​for the Copilot+ option, you’ll still get LG’s AI features on most of the new models (all but the Gram Book). They are divided into two camps: on-device and cloud-processed AI tasks. The device’s features include a miniature chatbot derived from LG’s large EXAONE language model. It also adds LG’s Time Travel, a feature similar to Microsoft’s Recall that can recall web pages, documents, video and audio files you’ve visited or used. It’s unclear if and how LG’s version will avoid the privacy pitfalls Microsoft came across 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 2560 x 1600 LCD screen. Its variable refresh rate is maxed out at 144Hz. Both variants have up to 32GB (LPDDR5X Max 8,400MHz, Dual Channel) RAM and 2TB storage.

The Arrow Lake model should make a solid gaming laptop with RTX 4050 graphics. The AI ​​/ Lunar Lake model only has integrated Intel graphics. But at least the latter is lighter and thinner, weighing in at 2.73 pounds. compared to the Arrow Lake model’s 3.26 pounds.

LG won an innovation award at CES 2025 for its latest Gram Pro 2-in-1. The top-of-the-line configuration has a 16-inch screen with a 2880 x 1800 OLED display (120Hz variable refresh rate); cheaper variants are limited to 2560 x 1600 LCD (144Hz VRR). The 2-in-1 comes with a wirelessly rechargeable stylus and—as the name suggests—can fold back into tablet mode.

Finally, the Gram Book is an entry-level model that LG is launching “to expand its presence in the US market.” Its screen is a more compromised 1920 x 1080 15.6-inch LCD at just 60Hz. Its Intel Core i5 processor with integrated Intel graphics and a maximum of 16GB of RAM combine to make it the weakest of the bunch. It is also the heaviest at 3.75 pounds.

Unfortunately, we don’t know how “entry-level” it is: LG has yet to announce pricing (or release dates) for any of the new laptops.
