I got the LOQ15 last year then after 4 months motherboard got an issue. After 3 days tech came out and replaced the motherboard and SSD. Now running smoothly with no hiccups. Used the freebie to upgrade to 16GB Ram. Been using it to edit 4k videos and gaming with little work haha... Good deal with 3 years warranty.

Been using Lenovo Loq for a year now pretty good, I used it both in my work and gaming. I have no issues so far.

Very Detailed and Well Explained Review. Definitely what I was just looking for to decide which one to choose. Go for LOQ.

I really like the way you test the display by using display calibration tool❤

Got the nitro v15 last week at mega mall. They're price at 40k cash right now, not bad for the specs.

I think what made me pull the plug for LOQ besides the ones mention in the video are superior keyboard which is so good to type with (I have a mechanical keyboard for gaming using the laptop keyboard when I take my machine to work) a hardware switch to physically disconnect the camera, superior screen, NVIDIA Optimus that you can access through Vantage software (Just don't touch the stuff you don't know inside this software or have a little research before fiddling around the program) that doesn't require restart, better cooling system and the clean looking build and aesthetic. For the battery, I really don't mind since I always plug my device when using and enabling the smart charge feature to preserve battery life. You can buy a higher wattage power adaptor though to avoid battery drain while plugged in, but in my case and in my usage the stock 170W is enough and doesn't drain as much when I'm gaming.

Been using my LOQ 15IRX9 for 4 months now and I got no issues at all. Also upgraded it to 16GB of RAM and planning to upgrade the SSD soon for more storage. I also recommend buying a laptop cooling pad, I use Llano V12 and it works!

Got my LOQ, battery is quite not impressive but if you keep it in quite mode and not doing any heavy loads, it's ok, but talking about performance, can't say anything about it. Good catch!

I have that Acer nitro V15 while my aunt have the exact same LOQ you have mention in this video but I have to correct at the tempts you mentioned, the acer nitro v15 got better cooling than the LOQ because I tested from my aunt(it was a stress test), . The LOQ have maximum of 5000rpm and while the maximum rpm of Acer nitro v15 have 7000+ rpm(which is very loud than my aunt's laptop lmao) and the result based on the game I played which is God of War 4, Acer have less 10-15 degrees cooler than the LOQ one.

Though I'm not suggesting to buy Acer nitro v15, depending on your budget if you can afford LOQ, just go for it. Peace.

bought the LOQ I5RX9 last June at 54k php with lots of freebies. it is my first laptop and no regrets on buying it 🤙🏻

[sullivan]

If only I saw this last March when I bought my acer nitro V. Still a good laptop though. Thanks for this informative comparison of the 2 laptop.

[yoshhhiiiii]

[jijuila]

I bought Acer recently, I'm having problems with it in terms of software and I wish I got the LOQ but I couldn't find one lol

[johnwilfredsaylon]

Other than these two laptops. What can you suggest around 60k below? It will be nice if you suggest a ryzen cpu w/ 40 series rtx gpu.
