LG’s Gram Series gets stronger with new models with Intel processors and offline artificial intelligence

LG announced that it has added new models supported by artificial intelligence to its Gram series, which stands out with its lightweight designs and superior performance. The new Gram and Gram Pro models take the user experience to a different level with cloud-based and on-device artificial intelligence features. These innovations provide a significant leap in performance by using Intel’s new generation Lunar Lake Core Ultra and Arrow Lake processors for the first time in the series. This move by LG targets professional users looking for portability and technology together.

The new Gram Pro series comes in 16-inch and 17-inch models, each offering a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels. On the memory side, up to 32 GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 2 TB Gen4 NVMe SSD storage support is offered. These models, which also make a difference in terms of graphics performance, include Intel Arc GPU in the 16-inch Gram Pro and 16-inch 2-in-1 devices, and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card in the 17-inch model. These features provide an infrastructure that can easily perform tasks requiring high performance.

Artificial intelligence-supported innovations in LG’s new Gram laptops

New models attract attention especially with their artificial intelligence-based features. The on-device AI platform “Gram Chat On-Device” uses a language model derived from LG AI Research’s EXAONE model. This feature offers functions such as “Time Travel”, which provides quick access to documents, videos and other content without requiring an internet connection. In addition, “Gram Chat Cloud” provides cloud-based detailed responses and integrations using OpenAI’s GPT-4o technology. However, this feature will only be available free for the first year.

These new models from LG also come with other innovations that increase functionality. Gram Link 2.0 feature makes it easy to share documents between smartphones and other computers. In addition, it offers a structure that allows phone calls to be made directly from the laptop. Thus, users can continue their work without switching between devices.

LG did not forget entry-level users either. Gram Book, added to the series, stands out as a more affordable option. Coming with features such as Intel Core i5 processor, 15.6 inch Full HD screen and 16 GB DDR4 RAM, Gram Book offers an ideal structure for daily use. This model aims to meet basic needs with up to 1 TB SSD storage and a webcam with 720p resolution.
