LG has announced its lineup of Gram laptops for 2021 with a new design and some internal upgrades. The company is adding five models to the lineup.

 

The five include; three clamshells, the Gram 17, the Gram 16, and the Gram 14, and two convertible models, the Gram 2-in-1 16 and the Gram 2-in-1 14.

 

 

LG has however not changed the Gram lineup’s signature features. LG Gram laptops are named thus because of their astonishingly light weight. The Gram 17 weighs about 2.98 pounds which is the same weight as its predecessor. The Gram 16 also weighs 2.62 pounds and the 2-in-1 14 is 2.2 pounds.

The 2021 model Gram 17 has a 16:10 display and a traditional 16:9 panel. LG says that the new clamshell models have a new “four-sided slim bezel design” which gives a screen-to-body ratio of 90 per cent. LG also adds that the keyboard and touchpad have been enlarged “for comfort and efficiency.”

 

The new Gram PCs are powered by the Intel 11th-Gen Core processors and in some cases come with the Iris Xe graphics or UHD graphics. All the models are certified through Intel’s Evo program. The Evo program is an Intel badge that certifies that the laptop can get at least nine hours of battery life, wake from sleep quickly, among other features.

 

 

“Synonymous with unprecedented portability and first-class performance, the LG gram brand continues to raise the bar for the ultra-lightweight and slim laptop market. With sleeker, more refined designs and 16:10 aspect ratio displays, while maintaining their light weight, our latest LG gram lineup gives consumers the ability to enjoy better productivity and more immersive viewing experiences wherever they go,” Jang Ik-hwan, LG senior vice president and head of the company’s IT business unit, said in a statement.

 

LG is yet to announce when the models will ship and their pricing.
