ZDNET Highlights
- LG has unveiled the Gram Pro 17 and Gram Pro 16, two models with an emphasis on portability.
- Thanks to a new material called Aerominum, the laptop is expected to be lighter than its predecessors.
- Both models are shaping up to be some of the best travel-friendly laptops in 2026, although the exact price remains unknown.
At CES 2026, LG unveiled its upcoming pair of ultra-portable laptops led by the LG Gram Pro 17 and the slightly smaller LG Gram Pro 16. Not much is known about these devices at the time of this writing, but what we do know paints an interesting picture.

The most notable change is that these laptops will be made from “ultra-light Aerominum”, which the company claims has been developed in-house. LG says the material reduces overall weight while improving structural durability, making both models suitable for travel. It is also claimed that Aerominum offers superior scratch resistance and a sleek finish, blending its toughness with a sophisticated design.
LG hasn’t shared exact specifications yet, so we can’t confirm the dimensions of either laptop. However, we can check existing models to get an idea.
2025 lg gram pro 17 Measures 14.9 x 10.4 x 0.57 inches and weighs 3.26 pounds. Due to the new Aerominum material, it’s reasonable to expect similar dimensions for the 2026 model, with weight dropping closer to three pounds (or even less).
LG also claims the new Gram Pro 17 will be “the world’s lightest 17-inch RTX laptop,” with the “RTX” in the name referring to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 GPU.
That kind of power in a thin chassis raises concerns about heat. Powerful, ultra-thin laptops heat up quickly, so we’re hoping LG will install a more efficient cooling system.

The 16-inch Gram Pro is also likely to see similar improvements. 2025 lg gram pro 16 Measures 14.1 x 9.9 x 0.5 inches and weighs just 2.73 pounds. I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2026 model weighs 2.5 pounds. Other notable features of the 2026 pair include Intel Core Ultra processors, an advanced AI assistant, and support for LG Link for seamless file sharing, screen monitors, and content transfer.
LG has not yet announced the launch date or price of any laptop. Both models are becoming solid ultra-portable options for work and play. If you’re considering purchasing one in the future but aren’t sure which model to choose, we recommend the 16-inch Gram Pro for its display. It has a WQXGA+ (2,880 x 1,800 pixels) OLED panel, while the 17-inch model uses a WQXGA (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) LCD. Both are great, but the OLED screen will have better visual output.
