Forget the MacBook Air, everyone's talking about the new LG Gram

LG has refreshed its range of lightweight laptops – the LG Gram – and we're excited to report that the new offering, honoured for innovation at CES 2021, looks good enough to rival Apple's MacBook Air. The new range contains a whopping five new models, with three main sizes (the Gram 14, 16 and 17), plus two convertible 2-in-1 versions of the smaller sizes (Gram 16 2-in-1 and Gram 14 2-in-1). 

The updated range is exciting news for creatives, as the features feel tailor-made for those who want to create and design on an ultra-portable machine (for more options, see our pick of the most powerful laptops and best travel laptops). Though the specs aren't a million miles away from the LG Gram's previous feature-set, the upgrades are crucial enough to elevate the range as a serious competitor.
