[@the13thfox46]

I got my loq16 last month and I absolutely love it. It is absolutely incredible.

[@kamranalizada2674]

What about battery life in normal usage not gaming

[@the13thfox46]

@@kamranalizada2674 it’s an 80 watt hour battery, I haven’t fully tested that, I set it to battery saver mode, I’ve heard good things about it

What fps do u get in the most games?

whats the battery life like?

[@the13thfox46]

@@Luke-gp2in I have the smaller battery so not great, I would recommend going with the larger one offered

I’ve got the LOQ in the 15” with the 12450HX and 24GB RAM with the RTX 2050, LOQ lappies are awesome.

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

Man Pheonix Range is incredible. They just sip power and belt out great performance! Incredible performance/watt at the 45W-55W range! 15.6k at just 45W!! That's excellent!!

[@kennymccormick8295]

Yeah not sure what Pheonix is...but Phoenix Range is nice.

[@tommy10436]

Great review man, thank you! Really appreciate your work.

[@aumshanti9046]

Thanks for exploring the Vantage settings. Not many laptops allow you to limit wattage to the dgpu.

[@marouaner6156]

I don’t know a s*** about laptop’s specs and performance. All I know is I bought this one a month ago now, mostly playing on a wider monitor (27inch) and it is literally AMAZING. Playing RDR2, Cyberpunk, God of War, GTA V, Elden ring. Putting Graphics on « Ultra » mode for all of them. Beautiful quality, no lag at all, no overheating, super responsive. Only thing is ventilators are a bit noisy, but playing with headset so I don’t hear it. Also it’s a bit heavy but I don’t carry it that much so don’t really care. This laptop is a banger.

[@etienne3108]

Just what I needed. Thanks B.

[@jagadishbhatta9562]

Incredible job on the review. Can do also do a 2024 LOQ review? Heard they come with better Display, improved speakers and better build.😊 Subscribed your channel.

LOQ RTX 4060 16", Intel Core i7-13620H, 16 GB, 1000 GB Just ordered mine now 😂, il get it tomorrow after lunch hope this device will last on me, will be using it as a workstation 24/7/365 on, any advice on power settings? Should i plug it on charger the whole time? Thanks in advance

[@tommy10436]

I'm sorry if I missed this in the review, but does this machine have a MUX switch? Also is the HDMI & USB-C port connected directly to the GPU? Thanks again for your awesome reviews.

thank you bro from australia

What was battery life under normal usage?

[@generaldelta5689]

6 hours for loq 15 7 hours for loq 16

[@kamalkishoresarda3791]

Hi Pls help should i consider this or u have some other recommendation in same price segment and is it better than intel i7

[@jss4837]

If you could play through that first part of TLOU Part 1 and get to an outdoors scene, I think that would give a MUCH better indication of the performance in that game. Its not essential, but the test you do in the first scene is almost worthless since theres very little detain in that dark, indoor area. Anyway great video and keep up the good work! 😊

[@gautham2606]

I also want to know about the battery backup under normal use

[@OmegaStocks]

There is version with 2k display and 4 zone RGB with same specs

[@popcornguy96]

Is there battery drain issue with loq 16? Im waiting for my unit to arrive and i hope i dont get the same issue

[@johndavid65]

Hi, which one do you recommend , lenovo legion slim 7 with amd processor ryzen 7 7840hs or slim 7i with i7 13700h ..both with 4060...in terms of gaming and battery life..

[@ellorial]

Would have gotten a beast but couldn't afford it lol, so far I'm happy with this laptop, I'm not gaming anything too crazy, tach for the review

[@roryoliver6743]

I would love some advice, i just bought this for my sons and i am considering upgrading the 8gb ram, should i replace the single stick with 1x 16gb stick or 2x 8gb sticks, or 2x 16gb sticks?

[@GizmoSlipTech]

If its DDR5, one single 16 gb stick is fine. But either way works if you find 2x 8 gb sticks. Definitely want the 2x sticks to match exactly though

[@crimson4052]

better performance if you use 2 sticks

[@muhammedfarique5396]

hey gizmo what would you prefer this laptop or that tuf f15 you mentioned with i7 q2 and 4060

F15 if you can get it for $999

Thanks for the excellent video. Which would you recommend between this and the nitro 5 with almost the same spec? They are both the same price here in the uk right now.

[@GizmoSlipTech]

Pretty similar. I’d probably go LOQ 16, but compare display quality especially before choosing

[@danielwinter-sx2gz]

So I’m about to buy a laptop but it only has 8gb of ram, I’m planning to upgrade it so instead of buying two 16gb of ram, I’m planning to buy one 32gb of ram stick so that I can still use the 8gb, is that ok or will there be a problem because of the gap?

Will using the 170w PSU over the 230w cause any performance issues?

Possibly, but most likely, it will just charge the laptop slower. I have not tested it though.

[@alferneeligones4002]

Hello Gizmo I’ve been watching your reviews on laptops can you recommend a laptop under $1600 to $1800 mainly for gaming right now I don’t know what laptop to buy that’s worth it since there’s so many

[@felipeuva8709]

If you haven’t bought yet, LOQ 16, Nitro 5 Rtx 3060, Asus rog strix g15(2022), msi gf63 with 4050 those are the best rn and they are less than 1200

[@Cyneptic]

Hey gizmo, I have recently bought a rog g16 with i9 13980hx and 4080, i have seen your undervolting guide on it. my main concern are the temps, this is my first laptop and im used to pc temps, I tend to use the system for like 14h a day or so constantly gaming/programming puts the system under load, i get 95-97 constant temp with spikes upto 100 (even a couple of spikes to 102). I want to set some form of setting with throttlestop to improve my temps, I don't tend to play very demanding games in terms of graphics and stuff so I can easily sacrifice some performance, i have made some extreme power limits currently but feeling like its too extreme... my question is what kind of temps should I be aiming for in order to be on the safe side for the longevity of cpu and nearby components considering my constant daily usage?

[@GizmoSlipTech]

I would recommend checkinf out my laptop cooler video. I would also recommend lower power limits or undervolting if you are getting 100c nonstop. If you want to keep the laptop for many years, I would recommend targeting temps below 80c typically

[@nemo.1842]

I have the same config with my legion slim 5 gen 8 and i cant get more than 16200 on cinebench and the highest power to the cpu was 65 what is the problem with my laptop 😢

Yes, I would like to review it. But we'll see.

what abou battery life

Anyone can confirm the max supported memory on the intel loq 16i, please?

[@bigboss3691]

Need your opinions on something, i really do not know which to choose between GE78HX vs Legion 7i 4090 the price is not the problem but what scares me is the liquid metal on Lenovo, I really heard bad myths about liquid metal as they get drier more quickly than regular thermal paste and their application is kind of dangerous if you are not be careful, and if we put the laptop in a stand or an inclination angle will it be like PS5 the liquid metal spill a little? This is the only reason scares me about 4090 legion 7i, I know no one faced such issues but I am thinking for the future.

[@erenyeeeeeega]

definetly the best one for price/quality

[@vladpubg7687]

What shoul i choose lenovo legion 5i pro with intel i7 13700HX ryx 4060 or acer nitro 5 with intel i7 12650H rtx 4060

[@24265]

Hey can you also review models like asus books, dell xps, msi creator please? They're still decent gamers despite more businessy look (which some people prefer more) as they feature i9s with 4070 at least. I'm on the market for a laptop like this though they aren't in your deals list which is rather frustrating.
