It was only ten years ago that Steve Jobs pulled the industry-changing MacBook Air from a manilla envelope. What was then the world’s thinnest notebook has seemingly maintained a comfortable lead against the competition. But that doesn’t stop others from trying to dethrone the MacBook Air. Take, for instance, the LG gram SuperSlim.

LG Electronics USA’s latest offering from its 2023 laptop lineup, the LG gram SuperSlim is designed to give the MacBook Air a run for its thin-and-light money.

And thinner than a MacBook Air by just 0.01 of an inch!

LG gram SuperSlim Specs
The LG gram SuperSlim is no slouch when it comes to performance. First teased at this year’s CES, back when it was called the Ultraslim, the SuperSlim features an IntelEvo 13th Gen Processor and Iris Xe graphics alongside a 15.6-inch anti-glare OLED display. According to the brand, this feature boasts a 100 per cent DCI-P3 colour gamut and VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black for delivering exceptional image resolution with true-to-life detail and stunning, deep black levels. Colours are also presented accurately thanks to the 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio, guaranteeing an unrivalled viewing experience.
Gamers will also benefit from the 0.2ms response time, meaning smoother transitions with reduced stuttering. And thanks to the 6000 MHz of lightning-quick memory, you’ll see blazingly fast performance across work and play.
Weighing in at just over 2 pounds, the gram SuperSlim has reportedly passed seven tests for military-grade durability. If you’re the type who’s always on the move, this laptop might just be your perfect companion. The redesigned compact power adapter and multiple ports, including three USB Type-C ports (two of which support Thunderbolt 4 compatibility) and a 4-pole headphone jack, further boost efficiency and productivity.
