"The most notable change is that these laptops will be made from "ultra-light Aerominum", which the company claims to have developed in-house. LG states the material reduces overall weight while improving structural durability, making both models well-suited for travel. It also claims Aerominum offers better scratch resistance and a sleek finish, blending its toughness with a refined design. LG hasn't shared the exact specifications yet, so we cannot confirm the dimensions for either laptop."
"However, we can examine the current model to gain an idea. The measures 14.9 x 10.4 x 0.57 inches and weighs 3.26 pounds. Because of the new Aerominum material, it's reasonable to expect similar dimensions for the 2026 model, with the weight dropping closer to (or even below) three pounds."
"LG also claims that the new Gram Pro 17 will be "the world's lightest 17-inch RTX laptop," with "RTX" in the name referring to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 GPU. That kind of power in a thin chassis raises concerns over heat. Powerful, ultra-thin laptops tend to heat up quickly, so we're hoping LG installs a more than capable cooling system."
LG unveiled two ultra-portable laptops, the Gram Pro 17 and Gram Pro 16, focused on travel-friendly design and reduced weight. The laptops use an in-house developed material called Aerominum that reduces overall weight while improving structural durability, offering better scratch resistance and a sleek finish. Current model dimensions measure 14.9 x 10.4 x 0.57 inches and weigh 3.26 pounds, and the 2026 models are expected to drop closer to or below three pounds. The Gram Pro 17 is claimed to be the world's lightest 17-inch RTX laptop, featuring an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 GPU, raising cooling and thermal-management concerns. Exact specifications and pricing remain unknown.
