[THE INVESTOR] LG Electronics’ latest ultra-slim laptop has earned a place in the book of Guinness World Records, the company said on Jan. 12.

The 2017 edition of 14-inch laptop, the LG Gram 14, which weighs 860 grams, was recently recognized as the world’s lightest commercially available notebook computer, LG said in a statement. 

Despite the ultra-slim design, the laptop features a higher performance and strong body using materials found in racecars, such as carbon magnesium and lithium magnesium, LG said.

This year, LG said it will step up marketing efforts to increase sales of the ultra-slim Gram laptops and another brand with a longer battery life All Day Gram.

The All Day Gram laptop features a battery life of up to 24 hours, LG said.
