Improvements to the World's Lightest Laptop

The LG Gram returns as the centerpiece of LG's CES showcase with meaningful refinements over the original ultra light design. The speaker highlights that all three new Gram models, 13, 14, and 15 inches, now feature a 60 watt-hour battery, paired with seventh generation Intel Core i5 or i7 processors, to improve real-world battery life while preserving the gram’s weight advantage. The display remains at 1080p across the lineup, a deliberate choice to maximize battery life and maintain lean overall weight. A notable upgrade is the inclusion of backlit keyboards across the lineup, which the presenter emphasizes as a big ergonomic improvement for working in dim environments. Additionally, the 15-inch variant gains Thunderbolt 3, enabling fast external storage and other peripherals for a more capable portable setup, while all models still weigh under one kilogram. The video also notes the sponsorship by dbrand, promoting their skins and accessories as a way to customize and protect the devices, consistent with the CES coverage style. Overall, the segment frames the Gram as a refined balance of portability and practicality, addressing earlier criticisms while preserving the core lightweight philosophy that defined the series.
