LG announces the ‘world’s lightest 17-inch RTX laptop’
LG is showing off the Gram Pro 2026 laptops that will be fully revealed at CES, including what the company claims is “the world’s lightest 17-inch RTX laptop.” The LG Gram Pro 17 (17Z90UR) and Gram Pro 16 (16Z90U) will feature a new ultralight “Aerominum material” developed by LG that aims to reduce the weight of a laptop while increasing strength and scratch resistance.
The LG Gram Pro 17 will feature a 2560 x 1600 display, paired with Nvidia’s RTX 5050 laptop GPU that only has 8GB of VRAM. LG says it will still provide “sufficient performance for graphics-intensive tasks, content creation, and gaming.” However, you won’t be able to run most modern games at maximum settings in a playable state, so you shouldn’t consider the Gram Pro 17 as a dedicated gaming laptop. LG hasn’t revealed how much the Gram Pro 17 will actually weigh, but notes that it will be US exclusive at launch.
We don’t yet know the weight of the Gram Pro 16, which features a 2880 x 1800 OLED display and the latest Intel Core Ultra processors, but LG also claims it will be “the lightest 16-inch laptop in its class with on-device and cloud-based AI.” Pricing and release dates for the two laptops have yet to be announced, but LG may be holding them back until the official launch at CES next week.
