However, compared to the last-generation processors on the HP Spectre Foldable, the LG Gram Fold comes with the latest 13 gen Intel Core processor. In fact, the LG Gram Fold is the first foldable laptop to come with the latest Intel Core processor. Let’s take a look at the LG Gram Fold price, availability, and specifications.

LG Gram Fold Specifications, Features
The LG Gram Fold comes with a massive 17-inch QXGA+ (2,560 x 1,920) foldable OLED touch display. The screen offers a 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded and supports a 99.5% DCI-P3 Colour Gamut. When folded, the LG Gram Fold converts into a 12-inch tablet with 1,920 x 1,280 resolution and a 3:2 aspect ratio. LG says that when folded, the bottom half of the Gram Fold shows a virtual keyboard but users can also place a Bluetooth keyboard on the bottom half for a conventional typing experience.
The LG Gram Fold can be used as a laptop, tablet, and eBook reader. It also comes with support for touch pen input for creators. LG claims that the hinge of the Gram Fold has passed a folding test where it was folded and opened up to 30,000 times. This figure translates to unfolding the laptop up to 20 times daily for four years.
