LG at CES 2023 has announced four new OLED screen, ultra-lightweight, GRAM laptops for 2023.

The Intel EVO-based LG GRAM has been a super success for LG after its introduction in 2021 and refreshes in 2022. Why? It is among the lightest and most durable (MIL-810) ultra-lights (GRAM refers to it coming in at under 1kg). It is nice to see LG as the master of OLED, bringing this superb screen technology to these premium laptops.

OLED for vivid colours and detail

The new 400nit, infinite contrast OLED models are

14” 14Z90-RS, 2880 x 1800, 90Hz
15.6” 15Z90RT, 1920 x 1080, 60Hz
16” 16Z90RS, 3200 x 2000, 120Hz

These join the refreshed IPS panel range, all with Intel 13^th Gen Raptor ‘P’ series (28W) processors, ultra-fast NVMe PCIe Gen 4 SSD, and Thunderbolt 4 ports.

New NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU

These have a 350nit (400 VRR) IPS screen and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 4GB Laptop GPU. Models include:

14” 14Z90R, 1920 x 1200, 60Hz
