Lenovo's NEWEST Budget Gaming Laptop | Lenovo LOQ Unboxing

[@ResearcherReasearchingResearch]

Lenovo is honestly the only brand that I can trust when it comes to a budget gaming laptop; mostly because of its reliability, durability and cooling. I've had MSI budget laptops, HP Victus, Dell G15, ASUS TUFF laptops...but Lenovo is the only one that didn't give me any issues after the 1st year.

[@mikejames6588]

I don't think you should own a laptop. Maybe if you did your research and took the time to update drivers and BIOS regularly you wouldn't have any issues with any OEM.

[@pcmoba3738]

​@@mikejames6588 True but as msi user and i test some of laptop such as tuf,acer and hp and all i can tell wise performance are lenovo every other type of them have bad airflow and it bett on performance 2

[@zam2275]

@@mikejames6588you can’t completely disagree with him, many laptop manufacturers have issues. Never owned a Lenovo but from what I’ve heard, it seems to have almost bulletproof reliability. But I also see your point as I have an asus tuf going two and a half years strong. I’ve done regular maintenance and always update so maybe that’s why it’s lasted me this long.

Yeaa

[@_taho]

Upgradability is always a must for me.

[@19bendunk]

its really depend on which games you trying to play, some people can buy one laptop every year, but most people buy every 4-5 years in average, so I think putting extra 100 -150 bucks for longevity on a better quality product is needed and smarter investment

[@oofjeff3735]

Agreed

[@ellorial]

I bought this because I was using a Lenovo yoga with a gtx 1060, 4K display, i7 processor. It's a great laptop but can't handle games today, I'm very happy with the loq i7 4050

[@akila9042]

any issues with the loq ?

[@matiasaraya5451]

@@akila9042 I've had mine for about the same time and no problems have arisen. Bear in mind that it has been reported that gen9 LOQ's have had MOBO problems, though mostly in India. I have a gen8 (13th gen i5) and it just runs cleanly. I use it for some gaiming and my daily work station with two OS's.

[@BoggledMinds]

Hey Ben, there's another variant that comes with 12gb Ram so can i upgrade it by adding one 8gb ram so i could get 12+8=20gb or is there any error if i mismatch the both Ram's capacities (one's already 12 and I'm combining with 8gb or i must remove that 12gb and fill both the slots with 8gb rams for pair matching? Is that the thing I must do? Is pair matching important otherwise I'll fell in an error failure of my system with 12+8 combination?)

[@nugget_man6325]

Yea it has 2 ram slots for dual channel so you can add another 8gb or 16 gb

[@sky37blue]

I recently bought one of these for GBP 999.00 it has an R7 7840HS, 16gb of RAM, RTX 4060 and a 1 TB hard drive. This is the only price point i could find the R7 7840HS last month when i bought it. All other laptops were at least 400 pounds more. The reviews were all saying it was cheap and plastic. I feel like they were all over exaggerating, it is plastic but its absolutely fine (and my last laptop had a metal case) All in all a very fast, very nice laptop and i think great value for the uk market

[@Summer-vu5kw]

[@sky37blue]

@@Summer-vu5kw there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, you're nitpicking. The bottom bezel is wide, yes. I noticed it for 5 minutes when it was new, I don't notice it anymore, even less when I am engrossed with what's on screen.

[@raphaelsalas6877]

Hello, I’m an architecture student that just got this laptop. I upgraded its CPU to an i7 with a 4060 8GB GPU to better handle Lumion through the website, but with only 16GB RAM. So far my workflow has been smooth from handling 3D views on Revit and then rendering on Lumion. Hope this helps.

Honestly the smart option would be to buy a lower spec version and then upgrade the ram yourself for cheaper

Looks completely the same to Ideapad gaming 3

[@Andrew-qq8fb]

Lenovo's budget gaming laptops all have a flimsy screen for some reason. I don't like the plastic that they use for their tops, and their hinge design is poor and creates a lot of flex in the middle. The plastic itself is not very durable or thick, and is prone to cracking. This is a shame, because the bottom deck design has been excellent, especially the rubberized-feel material that they use for the palm rest. If Lenovo could get their stuff together and make their tops more rugged, they'd have a much better product.

[@pouria8172]

I work as a technician in a repair center and I've gotta say this is one of the worst Lenovo laptops I've ever come across as a repair man The build quality is very bad And a common problem these models have is a defective USB 2.0 controller. After 2~3 months of use it no longer recognizes USB 2.0 devices (mouse or keyboard).

[@jj-dna]

Does it use the a similar charger port that came with the legion Y540? If it does, is the charger port soldered to the mother board? Asking because I had a Y540 and the charger port stopped working 2 years in. The port was soldered to the motherboard, so if it gets spoiled, lenovo charges for a motherboard replacement to fix it. Speaking from experience and fell free to google, it is a very common problem.

What price would be considered budget? From what I see it depends on the gpu, cpu, and screen size which makes it cost more or less
