There are many good laptops on the market, perhaps too many for a brand to differentiate itself with a list of specifications alone. That is why each manufacturer ends up defending a personality: some rely on the ecosystem, others on design, others on power and others on price. LG, with the gram, has tried to occupy a very recognizable place: that of large laptops that weigh surprisingly little. He LG gram Pro 2026 It was born within that same logic, but with added pressure: now it also has to talk about AI locally.
With the LG gram Pro 16Z90U, you get the idea pretty quickly. The company talks about a 16-inch device weighing 1,199 g, compared to the 1,239 g of the previous model of the same inches, the 16Z90TS, according to the official Spanish file. The difference is not huge on its own, but it helps to understand the movement: LG is trying to maintain a large screen, a Pro proposal and more declared autonomy without abandoning the gram’s historical obsession with mobility.

The battle is also on the scale
The obvious question is how to achieve that fit without making the laptop smaller. That’s where it comes in Aerominusthe new magnesium alloy that LG has introduced in this year’s gram Pro line. The company presents it as a way to reduce weight, reinforce the resistance of the chassis and achieve a more premium metallic finish. They claim that this improvement comes with up to 135% more scratch resistance.
Comparison within one’s own family helps put the data in context. The LG gram 16U55 and 16U55U, also 16 inches, weigh 1,800 g. They are cheaper models and do not belong to the Pro line, so they do not play exactly on the same level. Even so, the contrast serves to see something important: the most aggressive commitment to slimming the laptop is not distributed equally throughout the range. In 2026, the showcase of that strategy is clearly in the Pro surname.
The LG gram Pro 16Z90U mounts an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H with an NPU of up to 50 TOPS, accompanied by 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory and Intel Arc B390 graphics. What is relevant is not only that it complies with the Copilot+ PC trend, but that LG tries to bring certain tasks to the computer itself with the help of gram chat On-Device, its own layer designed to search and summarize documents offline. On paper, that execution on the computer itself can help with privacy, latency, and availability, although the actual scope depends on each feature and how it is implemented.
The fine print matters too. LG introduces gram chat On-Device does not support continuous conversations or Internet searches. That is, we are not facing a universal assistant that solves everything from the laptop, but rather a specific layer of local AI for limited scenarios. That precision is important because in 2026 almost all manufacturers talk about AI, but not all of them explain in the same way what it can really do.
LG gram Link also enters the scene, an application designed to connect the computer with iOS and Android mobile phones, as well as integration with LG devices with compatible webOS. The idea is not new in the industry, but it does help to understand where LG wants to go: that the gram Pro is not just a light machine with a good screen, but a device capable of better integrating with the rest of the devices we use daily.
The rest of the file accompanies that reading of a premium laptop. LG talks about a 16:10 OLED screen of 2,880 x 1,800 pixels, with a variable frequency from 30 to 120 Hz and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, a combination designed to work with more space and better image quality. It also mentions a dual-fan system with 21% more airflow compared to the previous year’s LG gram model used by the company in its internal tests.
LG Gram Pro 2026 price and availability
The LG gram Pro 2026 comes accompanied by a broader renewal of the family, with new LG gram and LG gram Book, but the clearest focus is on the Pro model: that is where LG concentrates the discourse of premium portability, new materials and local AI. The Spanish press release speaks of a recommended price from 2,049 euros for the rangealthough on the official website the gram Pro models that we have consulted appear with higher RRPs, but they are reduced thanks to significant discounts.
