The LG Gram laptops from last year arrived with 11th gen Intel processors and relied on the Iris Xe iGPUs. Now the company has unveiled upgraded laptops that feature 12th gen Intel processors and optional dedicated Nvidia RTX 2050 graphics.

There are two versions – LG Gram 16 and 17 (referring to the screen size in inches). Both feature 16:10 displays (2,560 x 1,600 px), IPS LCDs with 99% coverage of DCI-P3 and an anti-glare coating.


The 17” model comes with either an Intel Core i5 (i5-1240P) or an i7 (i7-1260P), the 16” one is only available with an i5. Some models rely on the Iris Xe iGPU, others are equipped with up to an RTX 2050.

As their name suggests, both laptops are quite light – the 16” one is 1,285g (with eGPU), the 17” one is 1,435g. And this is with a large 90 Wh battery built in, as large as you get get on an airplane. Note that the 90 Wh batteries are for laptops with Nvidia GPUs, the ones with only an iGPU get 80 Wh batteries. Either way, charging is done at 65W.


LG claims a 70% speed increase over the previous generation for the new Core i7 model (12th gen vs. 11th gen). Also, the laptops are equipped with PCIe 4.0 x4 SSDs, which are 22% faster. SSD capacity starts at 256 GB, both sizes also have an additional expansion slot.

RAM capacity starts at 8 GB and goes up to 32 GB, but you have to decide before hitting the “buy” button – the LPDDR5 RAM is soldered on the motherboard.
