While numerous CES product announcements often delay pricing and availability details, one of this year’s refreshed laptop series has now officially revealed its cost and release date. The 2026 LG Gram models are now purchasable, with the entry-level version priced at $1,150.
The standout innovation in this year’s Gram series is a proprietary aluminum-magnesium alloy. Although “Aerominum” might evoke images of fictional metals from 1970s comics, it is a genuine, exclusive material that reportedly delivers on its promises in real-world use.
During Digitio’s CES 2026 hands-on, Devindra Hardawar noted that his brain “had a hard time computing how such a large computer felt so light in my hands.” Specifically, Aerominum allows the 16-inch Gram Pro to weigh roughly the same as the 13-inch MacBook Air — which is already quite lightweight. According to LG, the material not only reduces weight but also improves rigidity and scratch resistance. Most new models carry military-grade durability certification, with the Gram Book being the sole exception.
The Gram Book is the most budget-friendly option in the 2026 lineup, beginning at $1,150 for a 15.6-inch model (Intel Core Ultra 5, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD). A 16-inch version starts at $1,500 (Ryzen AI 7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD). LG targets this model at “students and everyday users” who prioritize extended battery life.
Stepping up in price, the 15.6-inch LG Gram begins 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, featuring a 360-degree convertible hinge, starts at $2,200 (Core Ultra 7, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD).
Pre-orders for the new models are available today via LG’s website, with retail distribution expected to follow shortly (if not already underway). Through May 10, LG is providing a 1-year Premium Care service plan for just $1 on select models.
