LG has rolled out its Gram laptop lineup in advance of CES 2025, confirming Intel’s debut of the Arrow Lake platform in laptops and offering a mix of AI software that can run either locally or in the cloud.

LG disclosed two versions of the LG Gram Pro (the 17Z90TR and 16Z90TS), as well as the LG gram Pro 2-in-1. LG is adding a new entry to its lineup as well: the Gram Book, an entry-level lightweight PC with a 1080p display and a cheaper price tag to boot. However, LG isn’t saying what that price tag will be, or when these new devices will ship.

LG’s two new Gram Pros offer the choice of either integrated or discrete graphics. In a press release, LG said that the 17Z90TR will offer an Nvidia RTX 4050 alongside Intel’s Arrow Lake mobile processor. After launching on the desktop with mixed reviews, Arrow Lake should debut in laptops from LG and others at CES 2025. Since Arrow Lake (like Lunar Lake before it) emphasized lower power, it may find a more welcoming home within laptops as the latest Core Ultra chip.

So far, however, LG hasn’t announced plans for Nvidia’s Blackwell chip, the GeForce 5000 GPU that is expected to debut in desktops and perhaps notebooks as well.

Not all of LG’s laptops include Arrow Lake, however, though the company’s skimpy specification don’t indicate which ones. The remainder will use Intel’s older “Lunar Lake” chips instead, with their more powerful AI TOPS specification. (None of the new laptops use processors from AMD or Qualcomm.)

Lunar Lake’s AI horsepower will enable two versions of what LG calls “LG Gram AI,” specifically “LG Gram chat.” LG Gram chat On-Device runs locally on the PC without a network connection to preserve the privacy of the user, using a small language model that LG developed as an offshoot of its own EXAONE LLM. (LG didn’t release details of the LG gram chat’s parameters.) “Notable features include Time Travel, allowing users to quickly and easily revisit web pages, documents, videos and audio files,” LG said.

LG chat Cloud does require an Internet connection. LG’s cloud model is built upon GPT-4o, one of the latest GPT models, but will require an undisclosed subscription payment to use. (The first year is free.) The service will provide “detailed and comprehensive responses” to a user’s questions, with the advantage that they will connect with the user’s calendar and email services, too. It sounds like you’ll have to give LG permission to integrate your Outlook or Gmail email, however.

LG’s new gram laptops: specs and features

Otherwise, LG’s new Grams don’t appear to offer too much differentiation from other notebooks at CES. In fact, they’re a bit on the heavy side, with only the simpler Pro model weighing less than 2.73 pounds. The cheap new Book offering, though with a 15.6-inch 1080p LCD display, weighs a rather chunky 3.74 pounds with only a 51Wh battery.

Fortunately, the other gram models include premium displays, up to 2560×1600 on both Gram Pro models, with an 1800p OLED option offered on the Pro 2-in-1. Memory and storage options are offered up to 32GB on the three Pro offerings, with up to 2TB of storage.

All of the laptops support an upgraded version of “Gram Link,” which sounds like a branded version of Intel’s Unison app for sharing content across Android phones and laptops.

A list of the specifications for the new LG Gram laptops is below. (Note that LG’s branding calls these laptops “grams,” with a lowercase “G.”)
