"we found a lot to like in our preview of last year's AI-equipped model. Now LG is back with a major Gram Pro redesign at CES 2026, which features a new aluminum/magnesium alloy it's dubbed "Aerominum." And finally, it seems LG has found a balance between building a super-light notebook (the 16-inch Gram Pro weighs just 2.6 pounds), and crafting something that actually feels durable."
"It has a large 16-inch 2.8K OLED screen, which certainly looks nice, but doesn't really stand out from the glut of other OLED laptops on market. It's also powered by Intel's new Panther Lake chips, and it supports dual NVMe SSDs. The magic happens when you pick it up: My brain had a hard time computing how such a large computer felt so light in my hands. And best of all, it didn't flex much when I tried to squeeze the case."
"There's still a bit of give, to be clear, but it didn't feel as precariously bendy as earlier models. I wouldn't stress too much about throwing it into a messenger bag without additional protection. The more I handled the Gram Pro, the more I wished other PC makers strived for similar weight reduction. The Gram Pro weighs about as much as the 13-inch MacBook Air! That's certainly an impressive feat."
LG redesigned the Gram Pro using a new aluminum/magnesium alloy called "Aerominum" to reduce flex while keeping extreme lightness. The 16-inch Gram Pro weighs about 2.6 pounds and houses a 2.8K OLED display, Intel Panther Lake processors, and dual NVMe SSD support. The chassis shows substantially less bend than earlier Gram models, allowing easier transport without excessive worry about case flex. Some minor give remains, but the overall balance of lightness and durability is notable. The keyboard offers barely any key travel, producing an unresponsive and unsatisfying typing experience that could use refinement.
