LG's "Hybrid AI" gram Laptops Offer the Best Of Both Worlds With On-Device and Cloud AI Services

LG Electronics (LG) is set to unveil its 2025 LG gram lineup, the company's first on-device AI-powered laptops, at CES 2025 in January. The new lineup includes innovative models such as the gram Pro, gram Pro 2-in-1, gram and gram Book. Leveraging LG's gram AI technology, the latest grams deliver state-of-the-art capabilities and stellar performance, harnessing large language models and personalized AI features to elevate the user experience - all while preserving the series' iconic slim and lightweight design.

Enhancing Productivity and Personalization with LG gram AI
The 2025 gram laptops present a smarter, more secure and highly-personalized user experience through LG's innovative gram AI. With gram chat On-Device, these laptops utilize AI algorithms to process and analyze data locally without requiring a network connection. At the same time, they provide convenient access to cloud-based AI services via gram chat Cloud, powered by GPT-4o. This subscription-based service, which uses GPT-4o, is offered free of charge for the first year. The integration of on-device and cloud-based AI creates a hybrid AI solution that enhances productivity by delivering personalized insights, a comprehensive knowledge base and an intuitive, ever-evolving experience that adapts to users' needs.
gram chat On-Device employs a small language model derived from LG AI Research's EXAONE large language model. This enables fast and secure local processing to provide relevant answers and simplify device management. Notable features include Time Travel, allowing users to quickly and easily revisit web pages, documents, videos and audio files. Meanwhile, gram chat Cloud leverages vast web-based datasets for detailed and comprehensive responses to user inquiries. Additionally, gram chat Cloud integrates with personal calendar and email services, enabling users to manage their schedule and send and receive emails more efficiently.

Unleashing Unprecedented Performance with Intel's Next-Generation Processors
The 2025 gram laptops set a new benchmark in the series' history, powered by Intel's next-generation processors: the Intel Core Ultra H-Series (Arrow Lake) and the Intel Core Ultra V-Series (Lunar Lake). The H Series processors are designed to maximize traditional PC performance, while the V Series CPUs are optimized for AI-driven PC experiences.

The Arrow Lake-powered gram laptops boast more computing power and improvement in graphics processing, compared to 2024 gram models. These impressive laptops deliver an exceptional all-around performance that prioritizes core PC functionality. The Lunar Lake-powered models come equipped with Microsoft's "Copilot+" PC functionality, offering productivity- and creativity-boosting features such as real-time video subtitle translation and AI image generation.

Delivering Innovation and Versatility for Every User
At the forefront of the 2025 lineup is the LG gram Pro (model 17Z90TR), a laptop that presents the best of performance and portability. Inside the gram Pro's sleek, slim and lightweight form factor is an Arrow Lake CPU and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 graphics card. This advanced hardware combination enables the gram Pro to effortlessly handle a variety of demanding tasks, from resource-intensive graphic design and 3D-rendering work to video editing and running the latest AAA games.

The lineup also includes the new LG gram Pro (model 16Z90TS), the first Copilot+ PC in the gram series. Measuring just 0.49 inches thick and weighing 2.73 pounds, it delivers remarkable portability. Another highlight is the 16Z90TR, boasting a 16-inch display and an impressively light weight of only 2.64 pounds. As the lightest model in the 2025 gram Pro lineup, it exemplifies gram's signature lightweight design while delivering powerful performance.

Additionally, the highly versatile LG gram Pro 2-in-1 (model 16T90TP) has been recognized with a CES 2025 Innovation Award for its outstanding design and functionality. Offering incredible flexibility, the device comes with a wirelessly chargeable stylus pen that expands and enhances the user experience.

To expand its U.S. market presence, LG is introducing the LG gram Book (model 15U50T), an entry-level model offering key features and benefits of the gram series at a more accessible price. The gram Book has a 15.6-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080) display, expandable storage options, a 720p HD webcam with privacy shutter, and a slim and light design for take-anywhere convenience.

All new gram laptops support gram Link 2.0, an upgraded version of the gram Link feature first introduced last year. gram Link 2.0 facilitates seamless device connectivity across operating systems, allowing users to easily share content and transfer files with a diverse range of PC and mobile products, including iOS and Android-based smartphones. This feature also allows users to handle incoming phone calls directly on their gram laptops, minimizing workflow interruptions.

"2025 LG gram products, featuring advanced gram AI, are powerful, portable productivity companions that can understand users' needs, intelligently utilize relevant information, and enhance workflow," said YS Lee, vice president and head of the IT Business Unit, LG Media Entertainment Solution Company. "LG is committed to delivering premium-quality laptops that harness the latest AI technologies to enable users to do and achieve more."

I don't need "AI". I want a decent screen. "The gram Book has a 15.6-inch Full HD (1,920 x 1,080)" is absolute rubbish. I pity anyone who has that bought for them. What a miserable device.

Was going to comment that, really bummers me that there's no 14" gram at 1kg anymore :(
Even that 15.6" model of theirs is a downgrade battery-wise.

So far the only laptop I'd consider replacing my current gram with would be an Asus Vivobook 14", but it's still not as light as my gram.
