After revealing its latest 480Hz PC monitors last week, LG has shared its newest laptops that are part of its LG gram series.
The latest additions are the LG gram Pro models 16Z90SP and 17Z90SP and the LG gram 17, 16, 15, and 14 laptop models 17Z90S, 16Z90S, 15Z90S, and 14Z90S, respectively. The company also revealed the LG gram Pro 2-in-1 laptop with the model number 16T90SP.
These 2024 models are equipped with AI features on the LG gram Link app, screen mirroring across LG gram, Android, and iOS devices, and other simplified features such as file and photo sharing.
The Pro models from the LG gram series consist of an Intel Core Ultra processor with hybrid architecture, an NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics card.
The NVIDIA GeForce discrete GPU, however as the company mentions, is optional. The Pro laptops also feature Intel’s neural processing unit called the Intel AI Boost. This capability allows users to complete AI-related workloads without a network connection.
Other capabilities in the Pro laptops include the LG gram Link app that offers file and photo sharing as well as screen mirroring between the LG gram laptop screen and other Android or iOS devices.
The laptops’ AI capabilities also have a keyword identification feature that helps in categorizing and searching for photos. The company newsroom post also elaborates on this by stating:
“Strengthening compatibility and the overall LG gram experience, LG gram Link builds an interconnected ecosystem of devices, such as running smartphones and tablets with LG gram’s keyboard and mouse, offering users enhanced connectivity and scalability.”
The LG gram Pro models are also equipped with a dual cooling system to prevent the device from heating, 100% coverage of the DCI-P3 color space, and Wide Quad XGA resolution.
The company highlights that the Pro laptops with OLED capabilities provide coverage of the DCI-P3 color space is 100%, but, other models with LCD screens have it to 99%.
The LG gram Pro laptops possess a 16 or 17-inch display size. Whereas a third option called the LG gram Pro 2-in-1 has a 16-inch display. The Pro 2-in-1 laptop offers customers a 4-way bezel design, a 360-degree adjustable hinge, a responsive touchscreen, and a wirelessly chargeable pen.
