If you are in the market for a budget gaming laptop, Lenovo’s LOQ series is probably on your radar. The latest iteration of the 15-inch Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) is enjoying a significant discount at Best Buy as we speak and the machine can now be yours for only $799.99. As a reference, the Lenovo LOQ 15 price is usually set to $999.99 for the RTX 4060 variant. So, the current discount represents significant savings of 20%.
Moving on, the Lenovo LOQ 15 2024 under discussion features an 8-core Ryzen 7 7435HS Zen 3+ CPU, a 105 W RTX 4060 laptop GPU, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory, 512 GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, and a 15.6-inch FHD display. As expected from a gaming laptop, the screen refreshes at 144 Hz, boasts Nvidia G-Sync, and covers 100% of the sRGB gamut.
Additionally, the laptop packs a 60 Wh battery and features a healthy mix of Type-C, Type-A, and HDMI 2.1 ports, among others.
Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) is a solid midrange performer
Our review of the Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) with a Core i5-13450HX CPU, an RTX 4060 GPU, and the same panel as the model on sale returned good results. The laptop performed as expected from an RTX 4060 machine with almost all of our tested games running at more than 60 FPS at FHD resolution with high/ultra settings.
Similarly, the screen was also as advertised with full sRGB coverage, 300 nits of max brightness, and more than 1400:1 contrast ratio.
Unfortunately, the Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) doesn’t impress with its thermal and noise management. So, if those values are a priority for you, there are better options on the market.
All in all, thanks to its performance, expandable RAM/storage, and software-based GPU overclocking, budget-conscious gamers will be well served by the Lenovo LOQ 15 for years to come.
