2026 LG Gram Pro RTX 5050 Unveiled: The World's Lightest 17-inch Gaming Laptop
LG teases the 2026 Gram Pro RTX 5050 series ahead of CES 2026. Featuring Aerominum material, it claims to be the world's lightest 17-inch RTX laptop.
LG just redefined portability for power users. Ahead of CES 2026, the company teased its 2026 LG Gram Pro RTX 5050 lineup, claiming to have built the world's lightest 17-inch laptop equipped with a dedicated RTX GPU.
2026 LG Gram Pro RTX 5050: Innovation in Materials
According to The Verge, the new Gram Pro 17 (17Z90UR) and Gram Pro 16 (16Z90U) feature a proprietary ultralight material called Aerominum. Developed by LG, this material significantly reduces chassis weight while enhancing structural integrity and scratch resistance. It's a clear move to silence critics who have often labeled the ultra-light series as 'flimsy.'
Under the hood, the 17-inch variant sports a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution display paired with Nvidia's RTX 5050 laptop GPU. While the 8GB of VRAM might seem modest for high-end game titles, LG claims it provides ample performance for graphics-intensive creative tasks and moderate gaming.
