Under the hood, the new LG gram laptops will be powered by Intel"s eigth-generation Core processors, paired with up to 16GB of DDR4 memory and up to 512GB solid-state storage. Both laptop models can also accommodate an extra SSD.

Last year, the South Korean electronics company unveiled 14-inch and 13-inch models of the gram at CES 2018. This family of laptops is supposed to balance a high level of portability and performance.
