LG's 2026 Gram Laptop Lineup Starts At $1,150
Many CES product announcements leave us hanging for a while on pricing and availability. Today, one of this year's updated laptop series finally has official pricing and release info. LG's 2026 Gram models are now available, starting at $1,150 for the base model.
The most notable new feature in this year's Gram laptops is a proprietary aluminum-magnesium alloy . "Aerominum" may sound like a fictional metal from 1970s comic books, but it's a real, proprietary material that appears to live up to the hype in practice.
In Engadget's CES 2026 hands-on , Devindra Hardawar wrote that his brain "had a hard time computing how such a large computer felt so light in my hands." In fact, Aerominum helps the 16-inch Gram Pro weigh about the same as the 13-inch MacBook Air — itself no slouch in the lightness department. LG says the material, despite shedding weight, also enhances rigidity and scratch resistance. And most of the new models have military-grade durability certification. (The Gram Book is the lone exception.)
Speaking of the Gram Book, it's the most affordable of the 2026 lineup, starting at $1,150 for a 15.6-inch model (Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD). A 16-inch one starts at $1,500 (Ryzen AI 7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD). LG is marketing this model for "students and everyday users" who value long battery life.
Moving up the price tree, the 15.6-inch LG Gram starts at $1,600 (Ryzen AI 7 450, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD). The flagship Gram Pro starts at $1,650 for a 17-inch model (Intel Core Ultra 7, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD). The 16-inch variant's base price is $2,400 (Ryzen AI 7 450, 32GB RAM, 2TB SSD). Meanwhile, the 16-inch Gram Pro 2-in-1 , with a 360-degree convertible hinge, starts at $2,200 (Core Ultra 7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD).
You can order the new models today from LG's website , and they should be rolling out soon (if not already) at the company's retail partners. Until May 10, LG is offering a 1-year Premium Care service plan for $1 on select models.
