LOQ 15APH11: Lenovo releases new budget gaming laptop with up to 32 GB RAM
Lenovo has silently released its new budget gaming laptop across Europe. Presented during CES 2026 in Las Vegas, the LOQ 15APH11 was originally slated to launch in April 2026. However, the laptop can already be ordered from Lenovo Germany and Lenovo UK in two configurations.
Ultimately, the LOQ 15APH11 features the same AMD Hawk Point and Nvidia Blackwell architectures as its 2025 predecessor (curr. $1,045 on Amazon). Specifically, Lenovo includes a Ryzen 7 250 APU with either a GeForce RTX 5050 or GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU. For reference, a circa 20% performance gap exists between these 8 GB GDDR7 dGPUs.
Nonetheless, a larger price difference exists between these two SKUs. In part, that is because Lenovo equips its GeForce RTX 5050 SKU with 16 GB of RAM and affords 32 GB of RAM to its GeForce RTX 5060 sibling. Both variants feature the same 1600p and 180 Hz display though, which Lenovo complements with a 60 Wh battery, a 245 W power adapter and a single-zone RGB backlit keyboard.
The LOQ 15APH11 starts at £1,399 in the UK and €1,319 in the Eurozone. Alternatively, the laptop can be optioned with a GeForce RTX 5060 for £1,699 and €1,679, respectively. Please see our launch article for more details.
