All of the traditional clamshell gram laptops are available starting today. You'll have to wait until March for the 2-in-1 versions.

The laptops stick with the gram's theme of being thin and light. The gram 14 comes in at just 999g (2.2 lbs), which explains its name. Even the heaviest new gram, the gram 16 2-in-1, only weighs 1,480g (3.26 lbs).

The most affordable new gram laptop is the gram 14, which starts at $1,000. If you get the largest gram available, the gram 17, and opt for an Intel Core i7 processor and 2TB of storage, it'll cost you $2,000.
