Lenovo LOQ 15: What Real Users Say Before You Buy

Yup it's a good laptop, personally i would get the ryzen 7 7840HS model

Good laptop. If you care about battery life and better efficiency, look at the Ryzen 7 7840HS option.

Not low at all. Nothing special about it.

I bought one and I am really happy with it. Temps have been great under load, speakers sound pretty good, I got an inferior 144Hz screen and it looks fine to me. The camera is excellent. I love the looks of the laptop and it feels sturdy. It is plastic body but it's not flimsy at all.

I have this laptop, it's great in every way. I purchased for a similar amount in Europe. You won't be disappointed.

I just bought one off EBay here in the US and it's an amazing deal for the price. Running Baldurs Gate 3 at max specs with 120 FPS. Not used to that at all on my desktop. I have the 7840 model.

I see that they marketed/advertised LOQ as 100%sRGB but when I look at the specs it seems to be 45% NTSC which I believe is inferior to sRGB.

Decent performance, above average build quality (for the price point), horrible battery life (no igpu). Overall a good pick if you mostly keep it plugged in.

From what I know It's cheaper since its only a 1080p screen although its a high quality. From what I heard from other tech people here, Lenovo is like the Xiaomi of Laptops. Bang for the buck for midrange laptops and can keep up with the high end ones performance wise.

Got it with Best Buy open box for 500 something when the retail price was 949.99. Shit fucking TACKLES GTA 5 and any other game you can throw at it (I got the 3050 model, yes it has a shit reputation as a desktop GPU but with the laptop GPU especially with the extra 20W it performs really well).

This is actually a great option but if you can spend an extra 300 bucks and get a 4060 you will way better off. You can pretty much game anything on 1080p max setting!

I just bought it and I LOVE IT. I highly recommend it, really nice build quality, not that loud, it has the upgraded 6gb 3050 80w not the crappy like 40w 4gb ones. I had to drive to a best buy over 20 miles away to pick it up but it was worth it.

Lenovo LOQ are prone to motherboard failure and such. This one in specific has all good specs but it's intel 13th gen too, so, it's probably unsafe to get it.

I have bought the Lenovo LOQ 15 with an R7 7840HS and the RTX 4060, plus 1TB of storage, for 1099 euros. When playing Valorant with Radeon graphics, I get over 144 fps with all settings on high, performance mode, etc., and the temperature stays at only 55 degrees Celsius. That's crazy good!

I also have a LOQ, and I didn't encounter any temperature issues during browsing or idle. It could be a specific issue with your device. However, it does tend to get noticeably warm under heavy demand.

I have LOQ 2023 (i5-13420H + RTX 4050) and my friend just got the 2024 version. I tried his LOQ 2024 a bit and the biggest flaw I could say is 2024 keyboard feels way too "membrane" compared to mine. He also agreed that my 2023 feels way better just at the right spot.

You upgrade the absolute piss out of the RAM. Ignore the "limits"

I have that exact laptop (12450H rtx 2050). Ghosting: its not actually while zooming rather while there is motion in screen like scrolling or moving cursor in games its quite annoying honestly. Battery: despite the claims i can get up to 7 hours of battery life watching YouTube or Netflix by lowering the screen brightness and using power saver and most importantly using the integrated intel graphics only (disabling the rtx 2050).

Hi Lenovo loq rtx4060 user here, have it for a year now. Best gaming laptop that I ever have, been playing the RE remake trilogy and it works fine. Not max settings 4k. But mid to high on 1080 with good framerates. For me that's enough to have a good time.

The catch is that the SSD provided is super duper slow only 100mb/s, even HDD have 500mb/s these days. A $36 crucial ssd from amazon has 4700mb/s speed. And also the motherboard used is cheap, it will go dead any time if the processor gets stressed.

im currently writing this in LOQ LAPTOP with 24gb ram rtx 4050 and ryzen 7, 512 ssd. in black background if you tilt the screen a yellow tint appears (only on black backgrounds). My previous laptop was asus zephyrus and the quality difference isn't comparable but for the price it is an exceptional laptop.

I bought the 12450h rtx 4050 varient of it on flipkart for just 75k in india which is equivalent to 900 USD. the build quality and thermals of it is excellent for its price.

I think so, yeah. Though in extremely rare cases, the monitor may broke but for the most part, the LOQ 2023 models are quite decent.

If you get on sale, it's sweet deal, especially the 15IRh8 model.

hi, I just buyed last week this laptop, I glad with it but the battery life is not good, I use work on development with Linux and I must plugin the charger on 3.5hs with minimum brightness and "battery safe" profile.

I would recommend 15ARP9 instead of 15IRX9, it is the same laptop but priced a bit higher, but it has a better display and an AMD cpu instead an Intel cpu.

Better purchase additional warranty for this. Many peoples' display, including mine got destroyed. We're seeing some horizontal lines. But it should be replaced under warranty.

Just got mine. works great so far. Surprised with frame gen and upscaling I can run spiderman 2 on medium settings at 100 fps easily. Love it for the price. I bought it for light gaming, music and video production and academia.

Ghosting

they say battery sucks. thats just it

Very solid entry level gaming laptop i would say

i have the 2024 ryzen version and its literally not that bad for no igpu since i only use for gaming and normal use plugged in and i experienced no heat playing elden ring, battlefield 5. The vents are like jet engine working awesome, the heat output is amazing and i dont feel any heat in keyboard areas or the whole panel.

Motherboard failures only on intel HX chips

It's not a bad laptop, but it's last gen mid-range cpu and bottom tier gpu with only 512 ssd and probably the lower end screen as well.

It's an excellent machine for the money you pay. The design is good, the typing feels nice, I even like the fact they've moved most of the ports to the back of the laptop. The materials are adequate for the price and it's quite sturdily built - you can notice that by the hinges, by the quality of the ports when you use them. Actually I wouldn't call that a budget gaming laptop except for the price.

It sure is, but if you want good display go for the Qhd options... the Fhd screens are terrible, ghosting, bad color accuracy

If you're using it for school, don't buy it. It will last 2.5hrs and I think that wouldn't be enough for u. Buy a laptop for school and a desktop pc for gaming. U can't have a high battery life with high performance unless you are willing to spend a lot more.

I got this as a gift for my gf. The build quality is shockingly good for how cheap it was. She plays games with pretty low reqs like sims 4 and slice of life games. For that it works exceptionally well.

I have a similar one, only came with 8 GB of RAM so I put in 32. Connected it to a monitor and it reaches up to 144 fps in GTA V, similar performance in Forza horizon and Minecraft with shaders.

It's good , but don't expect it to do well on battery. It's battery life is like less than 2 hours max , for light use

"Battery problems" Are mostly people who doesn't know what a gaming laptop is. They get a gaming laptop and expect it to have the battery of a conventional work laptop.

the motherboard is failing on 13th and 14th gen hx loq cpus

I like my LOQ and agree with all your ratings and would recommend it to anyone. The keyboard is warm but I would say it is normal for the price range and on the better side tbh.

After trying another 4 laptops, i regret that i sent this one back, it was the best one among all i have tried. although it had a slightly warmer keyboard.

Offline video playback for about 4-6 hours if you tweak the settings and turn off wifi. With wifi on and internet usage 2-3 hours max depending on network load. I don't play games without cable connected, and it will drain battery if you do. Ryzen ones at the end of 2024 are very stable and perfect in all aspects.

I have AMD LOQ 2024 and it's been Rockin'!
