LG gram 15 ", arrives in the US for $ 1,099 notebook with small frames

We had already seen for the first time LG gram, 15-inch version, last January. A few months later the laptop with premium luxury amenities finally arrives in the US alongside the two models 13 and 14 inches on the market since last fall. Available in two variants from $ 1099 with Intel Core i5 CPU and $ 1,499 with Core i7, LG gram is unfortunately not currently planned for the European market. But it remains a very interesting device.

Despite the 15-inch display, LG gram weighs about one kilogram and has sought technical characteristics: The display uses an LCD panel IPS Full HD (1920x1080) with a precise diagonal of 15.6 inches, while the CPU is accompanied by 1Gbyte of DDR3L RAM. Very interesting, as on smaller brothers, the relationship between the screen and frame. These are really at rock bottom, with the display that occupies most of the surface of the device.

On the front door there is a HDMI to connect an external monitor, two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, a micro-SD and there is a USB 3.0 Type-C. Under the shell there is a lithium polymer battery of two 4,495 mAh cells (34.61 Wh), which should deliver, specifications issued by the company in hand, operational autonomy to 7 hours on a single charge. The value was measured by MobileMark 2014 benchmark.

To move the whole we think the Windows 10 operating system, available on the laptop in the 64-bit version of Home. Lg gram makes itself known, however, mainly because of its stylistic characteristics, which not for the hardware sector. It is one of the lightest 15-inch display portable: the weight less than a kilogram (980g those declared by Koreans) was obtained through the use of a magnesium alloy and a shell from the very contained volume.

The surface of the device measures 357.6 and 228.4 mm, respectively, for the long side and the short one, while on the thickness, it is about 17mm. Awarded the Innovation Award at CES 2016 LG gram 15 "is sold in the US both online and in resale retail channels in the exclusive color New Gold.

The Silent Revolution of On-Device AI: Why the Cloud Is No Longer King

Introduction For years, artificial intelligence has meant one thing: the cloud. Whether you’re asking ChatGPT a question, editing a photo with AI tools, or getting recommendations on Netflix — those decisions happen on distant servers, not your device. But that’s changing. Thanks to major advances in silicon, model compression, and memory architecture, AI is quietly migrating from giant data centres to the palm of your hand. Your phone, your laptop, your smartwatch — all are becoming AI engines in their own right. It’s a shift that redefines not just how AI works, but who controls it, how private it is, and what it can do for you. This article explores the rise of on-device AI — how it works, why it matters, and why the cloud’s days as the centre of the AI universe might be numbered. What Is On-Device AI? On-device AI refers to machine learning models that run locally on your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or edge device — without needing constant access to the cloud. In practi...

Apple’s AI Push: Everything We Know About Apple Intelligence So Far

Apple’s WWDC 2025 confirmed what many suspected: Apple is finally making a serious leap into artificial intelligence. Dubbed “Apple Intelligence,” the suite of AI-powered tools, enhancements, and integrations marks the company’s biggest software evolution in a decade. But unlike competitors racing to plug AI into everything, Apple is taking a slower, more deliberate approach — one rooted in privacy, on-device processing, and ecosystem synergy. If you’re wondering what Apple Intelligence actually is, how it works, and what it means for your iPhone, iPad, or Mac, you’re in the right place. This article breaks it all down.   What Is Apple Intelligence? Let’s get the terminology clear first. Apple Intelligence isn’t a product — it’s a platform. It’s not just a chatbot. It’s a system-wide integration of generative AI, machine learning, and personal context awareness, embedded across Apple’s OS platforms. Think of it as a foundational AI layer stitched into iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and m...

Max Q: Galactic

Hello and welcome back to Max Q! Happy Memorial Day everyone. In this issue: Astranis’ novel approach to GEO satellites Virgin Galactic’s return to the skies News from SpaceX, and more Astranis’ novel approach to internet satellites is starting to pay off Astranis , a satellite internet startup based in San Francisco, said Wednesday that its first spacecraft completed a milestone test and will start bringing broadband access to rural Alaskans as soon as mid-June. It’s a major step for the company, which was founded in 2015 by John Gedmark and Ryan McLinko. By taking a first principles approach to satellite development, the pair bet that they could make a smaller, cheaper spacecraft for geosynchronous orbit — the orbit farthest from Earth and arguably the most inhospitable — and use them to bring internet to millions, or even billions, of people around the globe. Their bet is paying off: The company’s first satellite, Arcturus, launched on a Falcon Heavy at the end of April. W...
