LG announced its new lineup of ‘Hybrid AI’ Gram laptops, and they’re thinner than ever

LG simply introduced that it is increasing its lineup of Gram laptops in 2025, which incorporates launching the corporate’s first-ever Copilot+ PC and its first gadgets powered by Gram AI, its proprietary hybrid AI that makes use of each on-device and cloud-based AI fashions. 

Anticipated to be unveiled at CES 2025, the Gram, Gram Professional, Gram Professional 2-in-1, and Gram E-book are simply as slim and light-weight as final yr’s fashions. We examined them, and may verify that they are a few of the thinnest, lightest laptops we have ever seen. What’s new is that they now come outfitted with LG’s on-device “Gram Chat” AI to course of and analyze knowledge regionally, even when not linked to Wi-Fi.  

Gram Chat’s hybrid method makes use of LG’s EXAONE giant language mannequin when offline, however when linked to Wi-Fi, it employs cloud-based AI powered by GPT-4o. LG Analysis launched its EXAONE 3.0 LLM earlier this yr after a three-year growth interval.

So, what does this imply for laptop computer customers? AI all day, daily, whether or not or not you have got Wi-Fi. LG says Gram Chat integrates with calendar and e mail apps, enabling the AI to assist handle a consumer’s schedule in addition to ship and obtain emails and messages. It additionally leverages the “Time Journey” characteristic, which may revisit net pages, paperwork, movies and audio information (which sounds a little bit bit like a sure controversial Home windows characteristic). 

By way of {hardware}, the brand new Gram lineup is totally dedicated to operating Intel processors, that includes each the “Arrow Lake” Intel Core Extremely H-Collection and the “Lunar Lake” Intel Core Extremely V-Collection, which is especially optimized for AI duties. In truth, the 0.49-inch thick LG Gram Professional with the Lunar Lake chip is the primary from the collection to be designated as a Copilot+ PC, and was first introduced again in September at IFA in Berlin. 

The Lunar Lake processors have proven themselves to be high-performing chips on the opposite gadgets we examined this yr, providing marathon batteries and supercharging AI efficiency with an NPU able to as much as 48 TOPS (trillion operations per second). 

The 2025 Gram Professional laptop computer lineup continues LG’s pattern of providing 2TB storage choices (aside from the Gram E-book, the smaller, extra accessible mannequin) and many onboard RAM. Surprisingly, although, solely the 16-inch 2-in-1 Gram Professional has an OLED show possibility. Here is a breakdown of the key specs on the brand new Gram Professional laptops:

Relating to pricing, LG has not dropped any numbers but. However primarily based on the present pricing of 2024’s Gram Professional fashions, I might estimate the primary three laptops might be effectively above the $1,500 mark, hovering round $2,000 and up. The LG Gram E-book, nevertheless, must be decrease, with its comparatively modest suite of {hardware}. 

The opposite factor I will be looking for is warmth effectivity with the brand new processors, because the ultrathin type issue resulted in gadgets that ran barely hotter than I might have appreciated. Keep tuned for full-length evaluations as soon as we will get our fingers on these ultra-thin and light-weight machines.
