LG has announced an upgraded version of its gram SuperSlim laptop, dropping the retail price from $1,399.99 to just $799.99. To put that in context, Apple charges $1,299 for the 8GB/512GB model of the MacBook Air 15.
The 2024 LG gram SuperSlim is an ultra-portable device aimed at business users and freelancers on the go. It’s just 0.49 inches thin (thinner than a AA battery, as LG describes it) and weighs 2.18 pounds, making it one of the thinnest and lightest laptops in its class.
The device is powered by the Intel Evo Edition, featuring Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processors with Intel Arc graphics and an integrated AI processing unit. The gram SuperSlim comes with a 60Wh battery that LG says can deliver up to 20.5 hours of video playback on a single charge.
Real numeric keypad
The laptop’s 15.6-inch Full HD (1920×1080) OLED display offers up to 100 percent DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and VESA DisplayHDR True Black. This ensures vibrant and accurate colors, making it suitable for both business and entertainment use.
The laptop has multiple ports, including three USB Type-C, two of which support Thunderbolt 4, and a headphone jack. Connectivity is provided in the form of Wi-Fi 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.3.
The LG gram SuperSlim comes with 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a 512GB NVMe Gen4 SSD. There’s an FHD IR webcam with dual microphones, and you get a real numeric keypad, which is useful for professionals (or students) who often work with numerical data.
Despite its lightweight nature, LG says the laptop has passed seven military durability tests, ensuring it can withstand the rigors of everyday use. Additionally, the LG gram Link app enables seamless integration with up to 10 Android and iOS devices.
