There's a lot to like about the Lenovo LOQ on first glance. The feel of this laptop and the design doesn't scream basic - in fact some might be taken by that slightly more subtle design than some other gaming laptops. We also love the rear IO and the colour detail to the vents around the chassis - it looks great. We have high hopes for this laptop, but obviously haven't had the opportunity to test it to any degree. But with plentiful hardware options and a wide range of features on offer, the Lenovo LOQ could be a great choice for someone looking for a powerful PC that doesn't cost the earth.

The Lenovo LOQ 15i represents a renewed focus on the budget gaming laptop market from the popular manufacturer. The design changes are a welcome revamp, if still one that doesn’t reinvent the wheel. The specs look promising for entry-level laptop gaming and a starting price that I’d expect to be just over £1000 once UK pricing is announced. The combination of the latest Intel or AMD chips alongside Nvidia’s best mid-tier mobile graphics card should do a solid job. We shall see.

Made for first-time and budget-conscious gamers and creators, the new 15.6- and 16-inch laptops look like Lenovo’s pricier Legion line but with more modest components.

The Lenovo LOQ 15, as I’ve seen so far, could be a contender for one of the best cheap gaming laptops for gamers. It features some great specs, both in hardware and display, while choosing options that keep its price point down. If its configurations can deliver on the $900 and up MSRP, then we’ll have our clear winners for this generation. That's not to mention how much lighter this machine is than some of the offerings we’ve seen this generation yet. If the price is truly right — and it should be with the option to customize and lower pricing even more, as well as the choice between AMD and Intel CPUs — then we could be looking at the kind of mix between value and performance that’s long overdue in the gaming market.

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.
