LG has announced significant additions to its ultra-light Gram laptop lineup, incorporating cloud-based and on-device AI-powered features that go beyond the current capabilities of its Gram laptops. The company’s goal is to provide users with a more comprehensive and intuitive computing experience.
New AI-Powered Features
The LG Gram Pro will feature two distinct AI-powered tools: Gram Chat On-Device and Gram Chat Cloud. Gram Chat On-Device utilizes a "small language model derived from LG AI Research’s EXAONE large language model" to power offline features, including:
- Time Travel: allows users to quickly revisit web pages, documents, videos, and audio files they’ve recently accessed.
- Other tools similar to Microsoft’s Copilot Plus suite and Apple Intelligence
The availability of these features on specific laptops in the new Gram lineup has not been specified by LG.
Gram Chat Cloud: Powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4
Gram Chat Cloud, on the other hand, is powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4 and utilizes "vast web-based datasets for detailed and comprehensive responses." It requires an active internet connection and will only be free for the first year. The tool integrates with calendar and email services, providing users with a seamless experience.
LG Gram Pro Laptops
The LG Gram Pro lineup consists of three new laptops:
- 16-inch Gram Pro: the first Copilot Plus PC in the LG Gram lineup, featuring an Intel Lunar Lake Core Ultra V-Series processor.
- 17-inch Gram Pro: features an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card and an Intel Arrow Lake Core Ultra H-Series processor.
- 16-inch 2-in-1 Gram Pro: uses an Intel Arc GPU.
All three laptops feature:
- Up to 32GB of LPDDR5X memory
- Up to 2TB Gen4 NVMe SSDs
LG Gram Book
In addition to the new Gram Pro lineup, LG will introduce its entry-level Gram Book to the US market next year. Powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, it features:
- A 15.6-inch 60Hz full HD display
- A 720p webcam
- Configurations of up to 1TB of SSD storage and 16GB of DDR4 memory
Gram Link 2.0
The new Gram laptops also support LG’s Gram Link 2.0, which streamlines document and file sharing with other PCs and iOS or Android-based smartphones. The tool allows users to answer incoming phone calls directly through the Gram laptop, eliminating the need for swapping headsets or Bluetooth headphones.
Conclusion
LG’s expansion of its Gram laptop lineup marks a significant step forward in providing users with AI-powered features that enhance their computing experience. With the introduction of Gram Chat On-Device and Gram Chat Cloud, users will have access to innovative tools that simplify their workflow and improve productivity. The new Gram Pro laptops and the entry-level Gram Book offer users a range of options to suit their needs, making LG’s lineup more comprehensive than ever before.
