Imagine that a 16-inch laptop with a large screen weighs about the same as a 13-inch MacBook Air? This is not a science fiction plot, but the real specifications of the new evolution of LG gram Pro 2026. Today (12th), LG officially announced that the 2026 gram Pro has landed in Taiwan, introducing the patented Aerominum aerospace-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy material for the first time, achieving a perfect balance between extreme lightness and toughness and durability. It also teamed up with popular Korean illustrators Mr. Donothing and Ouvert Seoul Cafe to create a month-long style pop-up experience.
Aerospace-grade material Aerominum: scratch resistance increased by 35%, still light
Although the past LG gram was able to keep the weight of a 16-inch large-screen laptop within an incredible range, the price of using traditional magnesium-lithium alloy was that the body often had a slight “sinking feeling” when pressed and was prone to surface scratches. The biggest hardware change of the 2026 gram Pro is the first use of the new Aerominum aluminum-magnesium alloy material.
According to LG’s official data, this new material not only maintains an extremely slim body weighing less than 1.2 kilograms and only 12.4mm thick, but also greatly improves the scratch resistance of the shell by about 35%. The test results were an internal test conducted in January 2026 using an A-Part pencil hardness tester on a large area of A-Part. Compared with gram Pro 16Z90TP (traditional magnesium alloy) that will be launched in 2025, the coating hardness is increased by about 35%.
Coupled with delicate metal processing to reduce fingerprint residue, this revision is obviously directly targeted at the needs of “Digital Nomads” who frequently go out and value durability. Kim Jian-yi, Chairman of LG Taiwan Electronics, said: “We have observed that when choosing products, the younger generation begins to expect products that are close to their life style and usage rhythm. LG continues to start from life and integrate design and technology to make products naturally integrate into different usage scenarios and become a reliable part of daily life.”
Intel and AMD dual-platform development, 77Wh battery life 27 hours
In terms of underlying computing power, LG has simultaneously launched dual versions equipped with Intel Core Ultra X7 and AMD Ryzen AI 5 processors. No matter which NPU (neural processing unit) architecture consumers prefer, they can get powerful end-side AI computing capabilities that comply with Microsoft’s “Copilot+ PC” standard.
Unlike many manufacturers who only upgrade hardware, LG this time emphasizes the dual AI experience of “hardware and software integration”. In terms of offline AI applications, with the powerful NPU, smooth AI search and summary functions can be executed on the device even in a non-network environment, ensuring that business secrets are not leaked. LG’s exclusive gram AI provides a smooth AI experience whether online or offline. The online version can connect Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 for smart scheduling; and the signature “gram Link” function further breaks down operating system barriers, making screen sharing and file transfer between laptops, tablets and mobile phones more seamless.
In terms of battery life, LG has inserted a 77Wh large-capacity battery and coupled with the energy efficiency management of a new generation processor, the official claims that the battery life can be up to 27 hours. This is undoubtedly great news for activist workers.
Joint pop-up store: Mr. Donothing × Ouvert Seoul interprets the “serious and lazy” life philosophy
Different from traditional notebook launches that emphasize cold specifications and benchmark scores, LG chose to collaborate with the well-known Korean illustrator Mr. Donothing and the popular Seoul cafe Ouvert Seoul to create a joint pop-up space in Taipei for a month. Through the IP image of “serious and lazy”, it conveys the soft appeal that technology should “help users improve efficiency and calmly control the pace of life.”
LG observed that the “serious laziness” interpreted by Mr. Donothing is not only a style, but also a contemporary interpretation of “life balance”; while what Ouvert Seoul represents is the textured field that the young generation of Korea yearns for. Together, they outline a life imagination of “slowing down in the city”, which is also highly consistent with the lightness and calm use advocated by gram Pro.
Anyone who pre-orders gram Pro’s new color laptop during the designated period will receive a discount of up to NT$5,000 and will receive a Mr. Donothing co-branded gift set, including laptop bags, mouse pads, keychains, postcards, stickers and other limited edition gifts, extending the Korean style to daily use. From now until June 6, consumers can go to the pop-up store in Taipei to experience the charm of gram Pro for themselves.
From performance to style, from product to experience
LG gram Pro 2026 has been fully upgraded in three major directions: “lighter, stronger, and more stylish” to respond to the new generation’s expectations for mobile devices. From the use of aerospace-grade Aerominum materials, the AI computing power of Intel and AMD dual platforms, to Mr. Donothing’s joint collaboration and Ouvert Seoul’s pop-up experience, LG is redefining the possibilities of “thin and light laptops.”
