LG's gram laptops coming to Canada

I was interestingly surprised that over the past year, one of the bigger hits on our site has been for the few laptops we'd reviewed.  So, it seems to be something you're interested in.

Well, here's a couple more laptops to keep on your radar, the LG 'gram' laptops.  To be honest, I don't really recall any LG laptops before, but it makes sense.  I'd liked their tablets in the past, and been a big fan of their G series phones for a long time.

A lightweight, big screen laptop is something I can get behind as well.

THE NEW LG GRAM LAPTOP HELPS CANADIANS KEEP UP WHILE ON THE GO

LG introduces Canada to its ultra-lightweight, portable laptop

Toronto, January 15, 2020 — The Canadian workplace is evolving – more and more Canadians have side jobs, work remotely and are putting in more hours per week[i]. These work pattern shifts mean Canadians need technology that will keep up with them without weighing them down. Introducing the LG gram – LG Electronics Canada’s ultra-lightweight laptop designed for ultimate portability. 

The LG gram is available in three sizes: 17-inches, 15-inches and 14-inches with each weighing less than three pounds and offering extended battery life. The flagship model, the LG gram 17 offers an expansive 17-inch Wide Quad Extended Graphics Array (WQXGA) IPS display delivering detailed images with precise colours in a compact 15.6-inch body size. The larger 80Wh battery in both the LG gram 17 and 15 models enables users to enjoy up to 17 hours of use away from an outlet and the LG gram 15 model also offers the convenience of a touchscreen LCD.


At the heart of the new series is the 10th Generation Intel® Core™ processor with Iris® Plus graphics and up to 24GB of dual-channel DDR4 memory. Content creators will love having the speed and power to edit 4K video on-the-go and users will marvel at how smooth games can be with Iris Plus built-in.

The LG grams also come with Wi-Fi 6 ensuring enhanced wireless connectivity, better efficiency and lower battery consumption. They also feature a Mega Cooling System to keep the devices cool and running quietly under all usage scenarios.

The LG grams will be available online at costco.cabestbuy.cacanadacomputers.com and Amazon.ca and in store at all Costco Canada locations and Canada Computers in early 2020.
