LG unveils Gram Book AI 2026 series and Gram Pro 16

LG has introduced the Gram Book AI 2026 series, featuring Intel Core Series 3 (Wildcat Lake) processors. The 14-inch model (14U40V) is designed for high energy efficiency, boasting a battery life of up to 30.5 hours with its 61.2Wh battery. The device features an aluminum alloy chassis weighing 1.29 kg and a thickness of 14.9 mm, including ports such as HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, and RJ-45.

In contrast, reviews of the LG Gram Pro 16-inch (2026) highlight a different user experience. While the device maintains the series' reputation for being exceptionally lightweight—weighing 2.64 pounds, which is lighter than the 13-inch MacBook Air—critics have noted significant drawbacks. Concerns include a high price point, specifically a $3,499 configuration lacking discrete graphics, and a perceived poor price-to-performance ratio despite its bright display and solid port selection.
