Attractive specs, attractive price
The LOQ has a 15.6 inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a refresh rate of 144 Hz. It also goes up to 350 nits of brightness, and is an IPS display. The laptop’s processor is an Intel Core-i5 13420H that has 8 cores, 12 threads, and can run at a clock speed of up to 4.6 GHz.
You get 8 GBs of DDR5 RAM, which admittedly is a bit too low for gaming in 2023 but it can be expanded to 16 Gigs if you want. For storage you get a terabyte of solid state storage, and Windows 11 comes pre-installed. The claimed battery life for normal tasks is 7.5 hours. The keyboard has a backlight and, for a welcome change, the webcam is 1080p instead of the 720p other, more expensive laptops ship with.
RTX 3050 6 GB variant
And lastly, the GPU. The Lenovo LOQ comes with an RTX 3050 that has 6 GBs of VRAM and is a very powerful GPU, especially for this price. Recently released titles like Sons of the Forest, Atomic Heart, and the DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 run at over 30 frames per second at 1080p with High graphics settings.
The Lenovo LOQ usually retails for $949.99, and is currently on sale for just $599.99. This might be the perfect time to snag a gaming laptop for the price of an average work laptop.
