LG is joining the foldable fray, but not with a phone. It is instead releasing its own foldable laptop, the LG Gram Fold (17X90R).
As with a few we’ve seen already, such as theAsus Zenbook 17 FoldandLenovo ThinkPad X1, LG’s device is essentially a large-screen tablet that can fold in half. You can therefore use it as a single screen device, double screen, or overlay an included keyboard for a full notebook experience.
In fact, there are many possibilities for the device – which may have influenced the price. Available in South Korea initially, the LG Gram Fold will set you back 4.99 million won, around £3,030.
Still, it looks neat and LG certainly knows a thing or two about OLED screen technology.
When unfolded, the display on this device measures 17-inches and has a QXGA+ (2560 x 1920) resolution. It will connect to the included Bluetooth keyboard and LG’s stylus for use as a super-sized single panel.

You can also use the keyboard with it when folded, to have two conjoined displays, or pop it on top of the lower half and you get a 12-inch tablet with a 1920 x 1280 resolution.
According to Engadget, LG claims that the laptop can be folded up to 30,000 times before being damaged. That should be plenty enough for normal use over a prolonged period. It’s not as good asfoldable phones, say, but you won’t be flipping it open as often.

LG’s own Korean webstore states that pre-ordered LG Gram Fold units will start to ship at the end of September. It will be on general sale in the country from October.
There’s currently no word on a global release. It might be that it arrives in a slightly different size or format sometime next year. It’s worth keeping an eye on what the company might have up its sleeve forCESin January.
