LG quietly introduced the 2026 LG Gram 16, a laptop that prioritizes extreme portability without sacrificing screen real estate. This release matters because it packs a large 16-inch display into a chassis that remains thin enough for all-day carrying. Buyers who need a lightweight machine for travel or commuting now have a specific model to consider.
Thin 16-inch laptop ships with Intel Core Ultra processors and 77Wh battery
The device runs on Intel Lunar Lake processors, specifically the Core Ultra 5 226V or the Core Ultra 7 258V. It features a 16-inch IPS display with a 2560×1600 resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen covers 99% of the DCI-P3 color space, which supports accurate color reproduction for creative work.
