LG launched the 2022 iteration of its 'Gram 17' ultra-thin laptop. LG's Gram collection of laptops is designed for convenient portability and efficient productivity. LG achieved this in the 2022 Gram by giving it a 17-inch, 16:10 screen, which is more suited to workplace efficiency than gaming or media content, as media content typically uses a 16:9 aspect ratio.
The LG Gram 17 features an Intel Core i7-1260P processor with an embedded APU for high-speed rendering powered by Intel Iris XE graphics. This processor is more than capable of rendering the laptop's 2560 x 1600 resolution, resulting in clear, readable images at all times. In addition to this, the laptop is equipped with 16GB of 5200Mhz LPDDR5 memory for ultra-fast multitasking and for efficient use of heavy-duty applications, such as the Adobe suite of workplace applications.
Lastly, the LG Gram 17 includes a one-terabyte solid-state drive for reliable, expansive storage and is equipped with enough interface options to connect to external displays, accessories, and external storage devices simultaneously.
