LG has unveiled its 2025 lineup of Gram laptops featuring hybrid AI capabilities and Intel’s latest processors, marking the company’s first entry into Copilot+ PCs.
Key innovations; The new lineup introduces Gram AI, a proprietary system that combines on-device and cloud-based AI processing, enabling AI functionality regardless of internet connectivity.
- The laptops feature “Gram Chat,” powered by LG’s EXAONE LLM for offline use and GPT-4o for cloud-based operations
- Integration with calendar and email apps allows AI-assisted schedule management and communication
- A “Time Travel” feature enables users to revisit previously accessed web pages, documents, and media files
Hardware specifications; The 2025 collection maintains the ultra-thin profile of previous models while incorporating significant processor upgrades.
- Models feature either “Arrow Lake” Intel Core Ultra H-Series or “Lunar Lake” Intel Core Ultra V-Series processors
- The Gram Pro measures just 0.49 inches thick and is certified as a Copilot+ PC
- Most models offer up to 2TB storage, with generous RAM configurations
- The 16-inch 2-in-1 Gram Pro is the only model featuring an OLED display option
Technical capabilities; The Lunar Lake processors deliver enhanced performance metrics specifically designed for AI applications.
- The neural processing unit (NPU) can handle up to 48 TOPS (trillion operations per second)
- Extended battery life is a key feature of the new processor architecture
- Thermal management may be a concern given the ultra-thin design of the devices
Product lineup; The new series includes four distinct models targeting different user needs.
- Gram
- Gram Pro
- Gram Pro 2-in-1
- Gram Book (positioned as the more affordable option)
Market positioning; While official pricing remains unannounced, the premium features suggest positioning in the high-end laptop segment.
- Premium models are expected to be priced above $1,500, likely around $2,000
- The Gram Book is anticipated to have a lower price point due to more modest specifications
Looking ahead: The integration of hybrid AI capabilities in ultra-thin laptops represents a significant step forward, though thermal management in such compact devices remains a crucial consideration for real-world performance and user satisfaction.
