LG has announced its 2026 Gram laptop lineup ahead of CES, and the company is once again doubling down on what the series is best known for: extremely light designs. This time, though, LG is also putting more emphasis on durability and AI-powered features.
A key change comes in the form of Aerominum, a new magnesium-aluminum alloy developed using aerospace-inspired techniques. According to LG, the material “reduces the laptop’s weight while reinforcing its structural strength”. Scratch resistance is said to be improved, and several models have reportedly cleared military-grade durability tests.
AI plays a larger role across the 2026 lineup. Select models qualify as Microsoft Copilot+ PCs and feature what LG describes as a “dual AI” approach. This combines on-device AI processing with cloud-based features. LG’s own gram chat runs on the EXAONE 3.5 small language model (sLLM) and is designed to work even without an internet connection, focusing on everyday productivity and creative tasks.
LG has also refreshed gram Link, improving connectivity between Gram laptops and other devices. The feature now supports easier file sharing and screen mirroring across Android and iOS phones, as well as LG’s webOS products such as TVs and monitors.
The lineup includes multiple options, including the LG gram Pro AI in 17-inch and 16-inch sizes, the 16-inch gram Pro 360 AI, gram AI models in 14-inch and 15-inch sizes, and the gram Book AI.
One of the more notable models is the North America-exclusive LG gram Pro AI 17 (17Z90UR). LG claims it is the lightest 17-inch laptop with discrete graphics, featuring an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 and a 2560×1600 LCD display in a body closer to a 16-inch machine. The 16-inch gram Pro AI is also impressive, weighing just 1,199g while packing a 77Wh battery and a 2880×1800 OLED panel.
LG will showcase the new Gram series at CES 2026 starting January 6, with wider availability expected shortly after.
