What you need to know
Once a novelty or prototype, foldable PCs are here and on store shelves. Lenovo sprung the form factor into the forefront with theThinkPad X1 Fold. ASUS then followed up with theZenbook 17 Foldand HP announced theSpectre Foldableearlier this month. Now, LG is in on the foldable action, though you likely won’t be able to buy this particular PC.
LG just launched theGram Fold, a foldable PC featuring a 17-inch display. The PC can be used in a variety of orientations, such as folded vertically like a book or fully extended as a large tablet. You can place a Bluetooth keyboard over the bottom half of the Gram Fold to use the PC like a traditional clamshell laptop that has a 12-inch screen.
Unfortunately for most people interested in the device, it’s not clear if the LG Gram Fold will ship to most markets. At the moment, it is only available in limited quantities within South Korea. The regular price for the Gram Fold is 4.99 million won, which is roughly $3,729. There’s a promotional price of 3.99 million won (roughly $3,499) for the first 200 customers.
That price sits between other foldable PCs, such as theASUS ZenBook 17 Fold($3,500) and the newly announcedHP Spectre Foldable($5,000).
We’ll have to wait to see if LG decides to ship the Gram Fold to other markets. The foldable PC space is far from crowded, so competition would be welcome in western markets.
