LG’s Gram line of laptops have at all times been designed to be light-weight and skinny, and now the corporate has launched a brand new “SuperSlim” mannequin that’s a robust competitor to the likes of Apple’s MacBook Air within the portability division (through Engadget).

LG formally calls its new laptop computer the Gram SuperSlim (previously the Ultraslim), which the corporate touts in its press launch because the “thinnest LG Gram ever.” It measures simply 0.43 inches thick — thinner than the M2 MacBook Air — and has a 15.6-inch OLED show in comparison with Apple’s 13.6-inch IPS one. Oh, and LG’s can be lighter at simply 2.2 kilos, in comparison with the MacBook Air at 2.7 kilos.

The higher deal is available in at $1,999.99: with a spec bump to 32GB of RAM and 2TB of SSD storage. LG can even throw in its exterior USB-C 16-inch +view Moveable monitor for those who purchase both new SuperSlim by Might 14th.

It’s value noting that whereas the SuperSlim has an OLED display screen, the currently-available fashions solely have a 1080p decision. Apple’s smaller-screened MacBook Air has a better 2560 x 1664 decision display screen, and nonetheless seems nice, even when it’s not OLED.
