LG gram 16 Lunar Lake laptops launch in China for around $1,089

LG has added two new thin-and-light laptops to its China lineup, targeting buyers who need a large screen without the bulk. The LG gram 16 models feature Intel Core Ultra 200V processors and are available in China for as low as 7394.15 CNY (around $1,089). This matters because it gives consumers a viable option for a 16-inch display that weighs just over 1.2 kilograms. You can buy these machines now if you are shopping in the Chinese market.

Intel Core Ultra 200V processors power 16-inch IPS display models

The new devices are identified as model 16Z90TL and come in two distinct configurations. One variant pairs the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor with 32GB of memory. The other uses the Intel Core Ultra 5 226V chip and includes 16GB of memory. Both systems rely on fast LPDDR5X-8533 RAM that is soldered directly to the motherboard. The laptops come with integrated LPDDR5X memory, which is not user-upgradeable but supports high speeds up to 8533MHz.
