LG Electronics, a consumer durable major in India, today announced the launch of its new range of innovative ultraportable laptops called “Gram”.

All three models will be available for sales online at Amazon from next week.

The display’s 16:10 ratio offers more screen economy than the usual 16:9 format, making it ideal for image- and video-editing, viewing multiple documents and a variety of other applications, it said. "The new model is a great choice for media and business professionals who require an extremely portable large-screen laptop that provides strong performance."
