LG Many CES product announcements leave us hanging for a while on pricing and availability. Today, one of this year's updated laptop series finally has official pricing and release info. LG's 2026 Gram models are now available, starting at $1,150 for the base model.

The most notable new feature in this year's Gram laptops is a proprietary aluminum-magnesium alloy. "Aerominum" may sound like a fictional metal from 1970s comic books, but it's a real, proprietary material that appears to live up to the hype in practice.

In Engadget's CES 2026 hands-on, Devindra Hardawar wrote that his brain "had a hard time computing how such a large computer felt so light in my hands." In fact, Aerominum helps the 16-inch Gram Pro weigh about the same as the 13-inch MacBook Air — itself no slouch in the lightness department. LG says the material, despite shedding weight, also enhances rigidity and scratch resistance. And most of the new models have military-grade durability certification. (The Gram Book is the lone exception.)
