To sum up, the Lenovo LOQ 15 is a suitable choice for casual gamers seeking an affordable laptop with an RTX 40-series GPU, a comfortable full-sized keyboard, and reliable performance for both gaming and work. However, it may not be the right pick for those looking for a highly portable laptop, with a 16:10 display, or a color-calibrated, high-brightness display. Despite its minor shortcomings in battery life and display quality, the Lenovo LOQ 15 offers solid value for budget-conscious gamers, featuring an attractive design and competitive performance.

Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 review - 15.6-inch Budget Gaming Laptop with an NVIDIA RTX 4050
Source: Tech Nave English
Overall, the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 gaming laptop is an apt gaming desktop replacement unit if you’re looking for something in the RM5K range. It provides solid gaming performance and should be able to handle most content creation relatively easily as well. However, we wouldn’t recommend you bring it unplugged as the rather limited battery life and massive charger don’t make it very portable. With its top-range price tag of RM5499, the laptop has a relatively good price for a gaming laptop or desktop, while its 15.6-inch display should satisfy most uses. Unfortunately, there’s a number of other gaming laptops with similar if not better tech specs going for less like the Acer Nitro 5 (RM4899) so, we’d only recommend the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 if you’re a Lenovo fan. What do you think? Does the Lenovo LOQ have more to offer? Would you pick up one for your gaming needs?

15.60":

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.
