Deal | Lenovo LOQ 15 becomes one of the cheapest RTX 4070 laptops thanks to 27% price drop

Not too long ago, most price-conscious gamers probably had a tough time finding a reasonably equipped RTX 4060 gaming laptop for less than $1,000. Thanks to significant price drops over the past few months, even RTX 4070 notebooks have now fallen below this psychologically important price mark, which also applies to the budget-friendly Lenovo LOQ 15.

More specifically, the budget-focused 15-inch gaming laptop is now on sale for just $929 at Antonline on eBay, which is the lowest price we've seen thus far for the RTX 4070-powered Lenovo LOQ 15. In comparison to Lenovo's official list price, which has already been lowered to $1,199, this deal offers additional savings of 23% or $270.

Lenovo's budget gaming laptop with RTX 4070 and AMD CPU

Additionally to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card with an adequate TGP of 115 watts, the Lenovo LOQ 15 is powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS. This is an eight-core processor based on AMD's Zen 3+ architecture and reaches clock speeds of up to 4.5GHz. It doesn't belong to the fastest mobile processors on the market anymore, but should easily handle all current games at high settings.

Furthermore, the Lenovo LOQ 15 comes with 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD. Since both components are upgradable, new owners of this affordable RTX 4070 laptop might want to set aside a few hundred bucks in order to upgrade their storage capacity to 2TB (currently $118 on Amazon) or even 4TB sometime in the near future. Until then, gamers who often switch around between different games might want to use an external drive to offload their Steam library for the time being.

Lenovo LOQ 15 sports 144Hz FHD and a cost-effective chassis

Like many gaming laptops that are designed to compete in the lower price ranges, the Lenovo LOQ 15 has a few caveats that might be noticeable for gamers who are expecting a high-end machine. Unlike the more expensive Legion Pro series, the LOQ 15 has a less premium plastic chassis, which doesn't feel as sturdy. That being said, the 15-inch budget machine is not particularly light and weighs more than 5 lbs, so it's not necessarily a portable notebook that gamers would want to carry around on a daily basis.

Last but not least, this Lenovo gaming laptop has a pretty unremarkable 1080p IPS display, which runs at up to 144Hz and covers the entire sRGB color space. The peak brightness of 300 nits is also nothing to write home about, but overall, the screen should suffice for budget-conscious gamers who aren't necessarily trying to build a career as a content creator on the side.
