LG has just announced an innovative new ultrabook. The LG Gram weighs a touch over two pounds, is available in a champagne gold color, has a wedge-shaped profile and is equipped with a black chiclet keyboard.

It does, though, come up a little short in the OS department: it runs Windows.

LG has a long history of developing innovative consumer electronics products and has applied that expertise, along with its laptop success in other markets, to the LG gram series in the U.S.,” said David VanderWaal, vice president of marketing, LG Electronics USA.

Such innovation does, of course, have a long history.
