Will LG stop making laptops?

Windows 11 came out a day earlier than planned, but it didnt take long for PC makers to jump on board and announce support for the newest Windows release. In addition to Microsofts own Surface line, the likes of Acer and Razer have been quick to debut new laptops that come with Windows 11 right off the bat. LG, in contrast, is taking a slightly different route and isnt announcing anything new. Instead, its simply saying that its 2021 line of Gram notebooks now have Windows 11 pre-installed if they havent shipped out just yet.

To be fair, LG isnt the most prolific PC manufacturer, so its not like it can spit out new laptops left and right like Acer, HP, or even Razer. It probably already met its quota for 2021 when it launched the new LG Gram models at the start of the year and isnt planning on making new ones just for Windows 11. What it is instead doing is assuring prospective buyers that theyll get Windows 11 when they buy an LG Gram in the coming weeks.

LG says that shipping Windows 11 on these laptops is an example of its commitment and is meant to make it easy for buyers to experience Microsofts latest operating system. It does take away some of the uncertainty buyers might have in investing in an LG Gram notebook at this point if it wont have Windows 11 pre-installed already. Thats not to say they wont have some doubts since a new lineup might just be two or three months away.

LGs promise of an out-of-the-box Windows 11 experience might not apply to laptops have are already sitting in stores, though. Of course, its certainly possible to upgrade to Windows 11, but that opportunity might not happen until after a few months for most users. LG does at least guarantee that its 2021 LG Gram series are all eligible to receive the update when it finally arrives.

LGs thin and lightweight laptop family added new members that changed its years-old formula with 16:10 aspect ratio displays, which also resulted in larger keyboards and touchpads. The laptops also run on Intels 11th gen with Intel Iris Xe (no Xe Max) graphics.
