LG is getting in on the flexible-screen laptop game with the Gram Fold

LG is diving headfirst into the world of flexible-screen laptops with its latest creation: the LG Gram Fold. This announcement marks LG’s debut in the foldable laptop market, joining the ranks of ASUS and Lenovo in this innovative but somewhat niche category. Much like its counterparts, the ASUS Zenbook 17 Fold and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold, the LG Gram Fold is a versatile touchscreen device that seamlessly transforms from a colossal tablet into a fully functional laptop.

Unfolded, users are treated to a spacious 17-inch OLED display with an impressive QXGA+ resolution of 2560 x 1920 pixels. This expansive canvas is not only ideal for regular computing tasks but also doubles as a canvas for creative endeavors, as the device supports stylus pens. Whether you’re into digital art, architecture, or calligraphy, the LG Gram Fold has got you covered.

Now, let’s talk durability. LG has put its creation to the test and proudly claims that the Gram Fold can endure a whopping 30,000 folds without causing any damage to its display. To put this into perspective, Samsung’s foldable Galaxy phones go through rigorous testing, with their hinges being flexed around 200,000 times. However, let’s face it; most people don’t open and close their laptops or tablets anywhere near as often as they do with their phones in a single day.

Under the hood, the LG Gram Fold packs a punch with a 13th generation Intel Core i5 processor. But that’s not all; LG has also blessed it with RAM that’s a jaw-dropping 15 times faster than your typical LPDDR5 5,200 memory. And when it comes to software, this foldable beauty runs on Windows 11 and boasts Sync On Mobile, a feature that simplifies the process of transferring data from your phone to the device.

As for availability, the LG Gram Fold is set to hit the market in October, but initially, it’s exclusive to Korea. In terms of pricing, it’s not exactly a budget-friendly option at 4.99 million won, which roughly translates to $3,700. However, LG is sweetening the deal for early birds – the first 200 customers can snag it for 3.99 million won, approximately $2,959. Plus, here’s a little extra incentive: if you’re an early adopter, you’ll receive a complimentary mouse and stylus as gifts from LG. Keep in mind that these accessories won’t be bundled with the device after the initial launch, so you might want to mark your calendar and be among the first to get your hands on this foldable wonder.
