Equipped with the latest 8th Intel Core i7 processor and solid state drive (SSD) storage, the LG gram 15Z980 builds on the success of its predecessor and redefines portable computing with improved mobility and durability, as well as an upgraded processor and more versatility.

While other compact notebooks achieve lower weight or smaller size by minimizing interior space, the LG gram 15Z980 offers a second SSD drive slot for even more internal storage for large video files.

Its cutting-edge USB Type-C port offers all-in-one functionality that enables users to transfer data, display content, and charge connected devices through a single cord. Thunderbolt 3 allows for compatibility with Mac products, supports data transfer up to eight times faster than USB Type-C and enables seamless transmission of 4K/5K content to exterior displays.

Lightweight Design with Military-Grade Durability
At 2.4 pounds, users can take the 15Z980 almost anywhere, anytime, without worry.1 The ultra-thin body features a highly efficient 72Wh battery that allows longer use without plugging in, lasting up to almost a full day on a single charge.2 What's more, the new LG new gram model is durable enough to use in the most extreme environments, passing seven stringent U.S. military MIL-STD 810G durability tests for resistance to impact, pressure and temperature. This improved durability is achieved by the Nano Carbon Magnesium full metal alloy body, often used in the aerospace industry where high strength and light weight are required. The result is an increase in durability by 20 percent compared to traditional magnesium objects.

More Features, More Versatility
The LG gram 15Z980 is designed with a host of convenience-enhancing features and comes equipped with Windows 10 Home (64bit) for easier multitasking. Users can keep working in dark environments late with the backlit keyboard, while the built-in DTS Headphone:X technology provides the thrilling effect of 11.1-channel surround sound.

The LG gram 15Z980 also includes advanced optional features such as Touch Screen and Fingerprint Reader. And with LG's new IPS In-cell Touch technology, the notebook maintains its compact size while the enhanced touch screen allows for more delicate, accurate onscreen haptic control without color shift when touching the display.
