Reviews for the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8, i5-13500H RTX 4060

There are things to like here and others that are much less compelling. What’s best about it is the CPU and GPU combination, which can deliver playable frame rates on most modern titles at 1080p resolutions at a very attractive price point. And, if you connect an external monitor, it will work at 1440p with some adjustments in texture quality. However, to get the most from the CPU and discrete GPU requires power and that’s the one part of this system that Lenovo curated, probably because of how heavy it was already. The 60Wh battery capacity doesn’t go far in gaming or playing video. And it won’t take the LOQ through a working day. That’s the typical reality of gaming laptops and the compromise that those who own them confront.

However, the other thing that’s not great about this machine is entirely addressable, specifically the software detritus that Lenovo thickly applied to the Windows installation.

Where Lenovo’s previous gaming laptops were cheap but underpowered, the LOQ 15 delivers a stronger all-round spec in an attractive, affordable package. You can go cheaper by buying an RTX 4050 model, but this version hits the sweet spot between price and performance, giving you ample power for 1080p gaming without any serious compromises, but at a price point that’s closer to reasonable than ridiculous. There are some good machines hovering around this price point, with both the HP Victus 16 and Acer Nitro 5 giving strong bang for the buck. But, for my money, the LOQ 15 wins thanks to its better, brighter screen and its RTX 4060 spec. If you want to game without paying silly money, it’s an excellent buy.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
