LG Gram

LG Gram is a computer science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand LG Gram rather than just read about it. In short: The LG Gram (stylized LG gram) is a line of consumer-oriented high-end laptop computers manufactured by LG Electronics, designed to be lightweight. Models The first Gram was released domestically in South Korea, called the 13Z940 and marketed as the LG Ultra PC Gram.

Key takeaways

LG Gram belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect LG Gram to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of LG Gram from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The LG Gram (stylized LG gram) is a line of consumer-oriented high-end laptop computers manufactured by LG Electronics, designed to be lightweight.

Models The first Gram was released domestically in South Korea, called the 13Z940 and marketed as the LG Ultra PC Gram. It was made official in January 2014 and weighed only 980 grams. A 14-inch version (14Z950) was introduced at CES 2015. The 14 Gram proved popular in South Korea, exceeding 50,000 sales as of May 22.The Gram was announced internationally in September 2015 with two screen sizes available: 13.3" and 14". They were the first LG laptops to be released in the US. A 15.6" model was introduced during CES 2016. It was recognized as the lightest 15-inch laptop in the world. During CES 2017, the 2017 edition of the Gram was introduced. During CES 2018, the 2018 edition of the Gram was introduced. During CES 2019, a larger 17" Gram alongside a 14" 2-in-1 Gram was introduced. During CES 2021, a larger 16" Gram alongside a 16" 2-in-1 Gram was introduced. In April 2022, the updated 2022 line-up of Gram was announced, which run on 12th generation Intel Core. Additionally, these come with the newer LPDDR5 type of RAM, and for the first time offer optional NVIDIA video cards for improved graphical performance. The 2023 Gram models are upgraded to 13th generation Raptor Lake Intel Core processors and variable refresh rate displays. In December 2023 and at CES 2024, LG announced the next generation Grams, with the new flagship being called the Gram Pro (in 16" and 17") and the convertible Gram Pro 2-in-1. The regular Gram line has also been upgraded.

Gram SuperSlim, Style, +View

The line was diversified with the LG Gram 2-in-1 in 2019. More 2-in-1 laptops in 14 and 16-inch versions were introduced in 2021. At CES 2023, two new models of the Gram were introduced: Gram SuperSlim and Gram Style. The Gram SuperSlim was called the thinnest laptop at just 0.43 inches thick. The LG Gram Style meanwhile appears to change exterior color depending on angle and lighting. The LG Gram +View portable monitor was released in 2022. In August 2023, an updated Gram +View was announced.

Reception and marketing

LG's marketing of the Gram emphasizes its light weight. In 2016, no configuration weighted more than 980 grams.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with LG Gram

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what LG Gram claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to LG Gram before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about LG Gram ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of LG Gram

In research: LG Gram appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses LG Gram in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: LG Gram is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Computer-related introductions in 2014, Consumer electronics brands, LG Electronics laptops, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for LG Gram outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.

Frequently asked questions

What is LG Gram in simple terms?

The LG Gram (stylized LG gram) is a line of consumer-oriented high-end laptop computers manufactured by LG Electronics, designed to be lightweight. Models The first Gram was released domestically in South Korea, called the 13Z940 and marketed as the LG Ultra PC Gram.

Why does LG Gram matter?

Because it connects several computer science ideas at once: it gives you a definition you can apply, a quantity you can calculate, and a way to check whether a result is plausible.

How should I study LG Gram?

Read the excerpt, restate it from memory, then work through the examples and applications listed on this page. The five-step study plan above takes about twenty minutes.
