The two new entrants in the series include LG Gram 2-in-1 which featuresa 360-degree hingeand can be used in multiple different configurations depending upon your utility. It is clearly intended for creators who like to try out different things on the move.

Besides the convertible model, LG has also announced a 17-inch variant of the Gram, which resembles theearlier 15-inch modelin terms of the design.

The convertible laptop comes with 256GB or 512GB SSD storage and ispowered by 8th-Gen Intel Core CPUs. LG gives an option between 8GB and 16GB RAM and has added a fingerprint scanner on both of the models. While LG is yet to announce the price of the LG Gram 2-in-1, the previous leak suggested thatit will start at $1,499.

With the 17-inch model, you get a WQXGA display boasting a resolution of 2560×1600 and a 16:10 aspect ratio for a cinematic viewing experience as well as an immersive workstation layout.

The laptop, too, breaks the kilogram barrier andweighs 1.34kg. It uses the same 72Wh battery but the larger screen means that you’re promised 19.5 hours of backup.

The price for the LG Gram 17 isn’t available either but weexpect it to be priced at $1,699based on the previous leak.
