Deal | 42% price cut makes Lenovo LOQ 15 one of the cheapest RTX 4050 gaming laptops

Aside from open-box or refurbished deals, prospective gaming notebook buyers with an extremely tight budget of roughly $700 will have to settle for a machine with Nvidia's most affordable dedicated graphics card. For instance, this GPU is found inside the Lenovo LOQ 15, which is currently one of the cheapest RTX 4050 gaming laptops on the market thanks to an ongoing sale.

Once again, this deal is available at the Amazon-owned online retailer Woot, which is now selling the Lenovo LOQ 15 with the Intel Core i5-13500H mid-range processor, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 and a 1TB SSD for $699 including free shipping for Prime subscribers. This limited-time gaming laptop deal expires on February 9 or earlier if sold out, and the $500 or 42 percent discount is one of the largest we have ever seen for this particular Lenovo LOQ 15 SKU.

In addition to the cost-effective Alder Lake CPU and RTX 4050 pairing, Lenovo has equipped the LOQ 15 with a basic 1080p IPS display with a 144Hz refresh rate, 350 nits of brightness and unimpressive 45% NTSC color space coverage. New owners of this 15-inch gaming notebook should further invest a few more dollars (currently $25 on Amazon) into a much needed memory upgrade as the Lenovo LOQ 15 ships with just 8GB DDR5 RAM. Despite the pretty obvious drawbacks, this is one of the cheapest RTX 4050 gaming laptops that budget-conscious gamers can buy today.
