According to the Korean website FAQ: LG has divided the PRO and normal Gram lineup based on screen sizes: 14 and 15 inch is Gram and 16, 17 is Gram Pro. I have posted the exact wording on post no.4 of this thread. Let us see if they stick with that or later launch the cheaper older body in 16 and 17 inchers to increase sales.

Deep dive into LG Gram Pro 16 2026 from two Korean reviews: 1. Aluminium-Magnesium6 Alloy case makes the case much more sturdier while maintaining the same weight. 2. The surface is highly scratch resistant and looks unique. 3. Fans and cooling are redesigned to bring 21% more airflow. 4. Fans are now made of Aluminium-Magnesium alloy. 5. Better Speakers. 6. AMD AI 400 series, intel Panther Lake and Arrow Lake. 7. Prices are expected to be higher due to SSD and RAM. 8. OLED and LCD screens. Both videos have auto-dub English Audio options. First video with dismantled laptop and discussion about parts and metallurgy, LG Gram content from 0 mins-28 mins: Second video is typical review with benchmarks, games fps and better look at the laptop:

^ The mainstream tech journalism quality has fallen of a cliff, LG Gram Pro will have both intel and AMD chips, they are already on sale in Korea: https://www.lge.co.kr/category/notebook There are both OLED and normal Anti-Glare LCD options: https://www.lge.co.kr/notebook/16z95u-gs5wk. I love white laptops, my current Gram 16 is white and the backlit is turned off as there is enough light from screen to light up the white keyboard. Infact starting the backlit messes up the visibility of keys.

The new Aerominum material which is Aluminium-Magnesium6 alloy is much more sturdy while maintaining the same weight, highly scratch resistant and looks much better too. Only the Pro version has been announced and that is for a reason, LG has divided the PRO and normal Gram lineup based on screen sizes: 14 and 15 inch is Gram and 16, 17 is Gram Pro. From LG Korea website FAQ: I'm curious about the criteria for dividing the Gram Pro, Gram, and Gram Book products.내용 닫기 Gram laptops are available in three models: the Gram Pro, Gram, and Gram Book, tailored to your specific usage environment and needs. The Gram Pro boasts a large 16- and 17-inch screen and a mega dual cooling fan, enhancing performance and cooling while maintaining a slim design. The Gram, with its compact 14- and 15-inch screen and single-fan design, is a portable laptop that's easy to carry around. The Gram Book, a rebranded version of the existing Ultra PC, is a reasonably priced, everyday laptop.

Removing the Micro SD card slot is a blatant anti-consumer move from LG, there is more than enough space for that.

lg Gram - Durability long term - Paint and screen (16Z90P)

I have a keyboard problem, some keys I have to press twice now to get them to register. What may be the problem, may be dust? What is the procedure to get to keys? -
Acer Swift Air has some deficiencies but it is still a decent first attempt in this segment, they will improve the product year by year. The first few versions of LG Gram also had few problems. LG Gram lineup is very popular in Korea with both consumers and business, that is why Samsung tried to compete with them and failed. Samsung Galaxy Book 5Pro now weighs 1.56 KG for 16 inch.

Acer has launched a similar laptop, made with same materials: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Swift-Air-16-Hands-on-with-the-lightest-16-inch-laptop-on-the-planet.1104375.0.html https://www.techpowerup.com/340617/acer-debuts-the-new-swift-air-16-ultralight-copilot-pc-for-modern-mobile-professionals

Just checked it and LG has maliciously removed the Micro SD card reader from regular Gram series, the space is still there, LG has just blanked it like they put dummy buttons on cars. Can't have the Pro version getting inferior IO than regular series !!
-
Nice to see improvements from LG, looks like they have abandoned the normal Gram line and only improving the PRO line to get people to pay more. What screen does it come with?
-
LG has neglected the standard Gram models for the last 4-5 years with very few useful updates, I am expecting the same this year too.
-
LG should improve the display of the standard Gram series, they are selling it at premium prices and it needs a Mini LED HDR screen. In normal use the SDR mode will be at 500 nits but during HDR use it can go upto 1600 nits like Macbook Pro. LG has been selling the same display in Gram since last 5 years. Nice to see SuperSlim having functional Modern standby, I have disabled the Modern standby on my Gram 16 2021. Still on Windows 10, will get ESU updates bypass after October 2025.
-
I agree about the navigation keys, went from a Sony Vaio 14 inch to LG Gram 16 2021 and at first I thought these extra keys are useless but now these are a must have for me. The SuperSlim model sounds good for a secondary laptop but too many compromises, the standard LG Gram 14/16/17 is still the best allrounder. I have upgraded both my SSD slots and now it sports 2TB+4TB, my Gram 16 2021 still works as good as new and hopefully I can use this for another four years.

My Battery wear level is now at 21.8%, I use it mostly plugged in so don't care. The outer body, screen, keyboard etc is holding up well, specially the white finish and colour. -
Nice to see your new Gram being better than the old one, regarding new battery it is available on ebay, you can also ask the LG service centre but I am guessing ebay maybe cheaper.
-
I have no problems with touchpad gestures on the 2021 Gram, use the gestures daily and they always work fine. Hopefully the new version works fine for you.

Yes, USB cable is the best option. I do not like syncing things, only drag and drop items occasionally.
-
I have uninstalled the "sync on mobile" software, there was no drag and drop feature. I use Airdroid and it is a much better way of sharing files between the laptop and phone. Also had to mark an exclusion in the LG update centre as it kept notifying to install after the uninstallation.
-
LG update centre has installed a new program: "Sync On Mobile". Any opinions? This program first shipped with 2023 Gram and now they have pushed to older Grams via LG update centre.
-
I bought the one sold by seller Tamanala but never got the product, forgot about it. I have only opened the laptop once for adding 2TB SK Hynix P31 SSD, so the rubber feet glue are still in good condition. John would be able to guide better on this matter as he is the only one with experience on this.

lg Gram - Durability long term - Paint and screen (16Z90P)
RS4 replied to extremecarver's topic in LG
I have a LG Gram 16Z90P in white colour, have kept the battery charging locked to 80% since the start and the battery health is excellent, battery wear level is at just 1.1%. The screen is in excellent condition, zero dead pixels and brightness is same as new. The white paint used by LG is good, no chipping/bubbling or fading or yellowing. Fingerprint reader works as good as new, no change. I have kept the laptop on Windows 10, have added 2TB SK Hynix P31 to the second SSD slot. Keyboard is in good condition, no stuck keys, some frequently used keys show signs of oil which is expected on a white keyboard. Touchpad is as good as new, palmrest is also in excellent condition, the white paint used is fantastic. The Gram chassis is strong, I move it around daily from desk to sofa to bed and have also travelled with it in a laptop backpack with zero issues. conclusion: I am very happy with the LG Gram 16, no complaints, I plan to use the same laptop for 5 years and will keep updating the thread here. -

Yes, the display is glossy for the touchscreen Gram 2 in 1 version and matte display for the regular Gram series.
