Lenovo releases new 15-inch gaming laptop with 115 W GPUs, 180 Hz display and Intel Panther Lake
Lenovo continues to expand its LOQ division with new Gen 11 models. Earlier this week, the company released the LOQ Essential 15ARP11, days after it began selling an Intel equivalent called the LOQ Essential 15IRH11. On top of that, it has just launched the LOQ Essential 15IPH11 globally with a Core Ultra X7 358H processor and Arc B390 graphics.
While the LOQ Essential 15IPH11 is not available yet, Lenovo is selling the more premium LOQ 15IPH11 internationally with a dedicated GPU. Unveiled in January at CES 2026, the LOQ 15IPH11 can be configured with up to a GeForce RTX 5060, which is almost twice as powerful as the Arc B390 in our gaming benchmarks. Also, the laptop can be configured with a 1600p, 180 Hz and 400-nit IPS display, which is higher resolution, faster and brighter than the equivalent inside the LOQ Essential 15IPH11.
For the time being, Lenovo has not released the LOQ 15IPH11 in North America. Nonetheless, the laptop is available in Oceania, East Asia, Europe and Southeast Asia. At the time of writing, the LOQ 15IPH11 starts at AUD 3,399, HKD 13,177, MYR 6,843, SGD 2,275, £1,780 and €1,889-€2,219 (~$2,205-$2,592) in Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, the UK and the Eurozone, respectively.
For context, this pricing currently makes the LOQ 15IPH11 significantly more expensive than its AMD-powered sibling that we reviewed earlier this year (curr. $1,385 on Amazon). However, the latter enjoys a 7% performance advantage over the former in our CPU benchmarks. Only stepping up to the Core Ultra 7 356H gives the LOQ 15IPH11 a CPU performance advantage over the LOQ 15AHP11.
With that being said, both laptops feature up to 32 GB of RAM and GeForce RTX 5050 or GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPUs with 115 W TGPs and 8 GB of VRAM. Likewise, a 60 Wh battery returns, as does 245 W charging. Intel's Panther Lake architecture is said to extract between 8% and 17% longer battery life than its AMD Hawk Point counterpart, though. Please see our recent LOQ 15AHP11 review for a general overview of this generation's LOQ 15 platform.
