LG Gram 15 AMD Arrives: Ultra-Light Design Meets Ryzen AI Power
LG Gram laptops are famous for being ultra-light. Now they are giving it a fresh twist. Following the Intel versions launched earlier, LG is introducing the Gram 15 (model 15Z80T) with AMD's latest mobile processors. This is good news for fans of lightweight computing muscle.
AMD "Krackan Point" Chip Inside
The headliner in the new Gram 15 is the AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 processor from the "Krackan Point" family. This chip uses a mix of high-performance Zen 5 cores for heavy lifting and power-sipping Zen 5c cores for background applications. It is about a great balance of performance and battery life. Also, it has newer RDNA 3.5 graphics (Radeon 860M). This should be capable of handling everyday visuals and even casual gaming well.
Seriously Light 15.6-inch Laptop
True to the Gram name, the 15Z80T is ridiculously light. Despite having a roomy 15.6-inch display, the laptop itself weighs in at just under 1.29 kilograms (about 2.84 pounds). That is even lighter than some of its Intel-based siblings. It achieves this partly with a magnesium alloy body. It is fantastically easy to carry around without sacrificing screen size.
Key Features and Specs
Beyond the processor and weight, here are the key features the LG Gram 15 15Z80T offers:
- Display: 15.6-inch IPS screen, Full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution, 350 nits brightness.
- Processor: AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 ("Krackan Point").
- Memory & Storage: Up to 32GB RAM and 1TB SSDs expected.
- Battery: 72Wh battery.
- Ports: 2 x USB Type-C, 2 x USB Type-A (3.2), HDMI, headset jack.
- Connectivity: WiFi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3.
- Other: Backlit keyboard, FHD webcam, dual microphones, stereo speakers.
Availability and Price
The AMD version of the LG Gram 15 has started appearing on some European retailer websites. A 16GB RAM / 1TB storage model is priced around €1,499 (around $1,616 USD). LG has not announced availability for other regions like North America yet. Hopefully, news will come soon. It is great to finally see a super-light, large-screen laptop getting some AMD love.
