Lenovo LOQ 15 Review - budget compromises done right!

Below the Lenovo Legion Line-Up, they introduced the LOQ series not too long ago, and with the 2024 redesign, the "budget" gaming laptop is actually worth a closer look!
With many of the same qualities that we already really like from the Legions, like the above-average IO, subtle chassis, and a strong emphasis on GPU performance, our sample is a great option when shopping for your next notebook.

Good to see they took out all the blue frames around the back that made it look cheap / gamey. Looks a lot cleaner now

I hear a lot of people complain about this moden. I see a lot of Reddit threads and Lenovo forum threads where people say the laptop motherboard failed after a few months, and the issue is apparently prevalent in 13th and 14th Gen Intel CPU Lenovo LOQ 15 models. It is unknown if the issue is due to the CPU being too powerful for the laptop cooling system and degrading due to heat, or if the issue is due to the PSU of this model. I still do not know whether to just risk it and buy one for a low price or get something else for a higher price.

The design language of these Lenovo gaming laptops are amazing!

I bought the LOQ with the 7435HS & 4060. Undoubtedly the best bang for the buck gaming laptop I've bought in 15 years! Poor old Jarrod couldn't get his head round why such a laptop might appeal but I'm sure Lenovo will be rubbing their hands with glee at the sales numbers.

Careful though, I got the ryzen 7 HS with the 4060. It lasted about 3 weeks until the mobo shorted out. Reddit forums are stating the same thing with the latest series so buyer beware.

How is a 1300€ laptop a budget laptop?

[Veg-Power]

Now I have to remember including this vid in all the LOQ 15 deals coming up every other day haha.

[shankermishra]

Any ongoing motherboard issue which most of the people are complaining about?

[Shivvvvyy]

Is this laptop good for school, gaming, design, and programming?

[simonhermann]

Just got one with R7-7435HS and rtx 4070 for 900 bucks, that's just mad... 😮

Off-topic: will you have a video review of the XMG Evo 15?

[Rin-tk]

They're still using a mediatek wifi card. I heard the Intel AX210 was compatible with AMD motherboards (got the 8845hs version), gonna give it a try.

[invadeandraid]

Hey, what are your Fortnite graphics settings? I have the exact same laptop with the same specs but I’m getting 60fps or so with constant short dips into the 20s, on high graphics. Thanks!

[eduard.]

7640hs and 4060, do you think this one needs a cooler? would it benefit that much and it is worth carrying around in a bag?

[sobol]

Hello,

My problem is since i bought my laptop he never want turn on at the first time, i have to press once then press and hold to turn off than press another time to turn on and than my laptop is running correct. Could you please find out solution for my problem, thank you.

[Skinnypole_clara]

can you do video on RTX 3070 mobile GPU on 2024, is it still worth purchasing laptop with such GPU?

[theeditingdepartment]

How does it compare to the Nitro 16 AMD?

[-o-]

Chat is it good to buy a loq 15 ryzen 7 7435hs processor
with 4060 rtx and 24gb ram and 1tb ssd for 900€?

[kmarko]

Doesn't this one have RTX 4070? How come you didn't talk about that one? I was wondering what's the catch with that one, it's too good to be true for under $1000

BRO THIS DOES NOT RUN THE RAM @5600. Please check the task manager. Also can i request if you have any ddr6 5600 or 5200 laptop rams laying around can check of it's running at the top speeds or not??? Please check and update I'm asking this because i have this exact same model and want to buy 5600 or 5200ram if it can work at the rated speeds. Thanks and great quality video bro
