Lenovo LOQ (16″ Intel, 2023) review – literally an IdeaPad Gaming copy
With a bunch of gaming notebooks being released every year by Lenovo, now its roster has been upgraded with the LOQ (16″ Intel, 2023). To be frank that name is a bit easier to remember than some of the weird numbers and word combinations out there.
Nevertheless, this is a gaming machine for people with a low-to-medium budget. It starts with the updated RTX 3050 that has 6GB of GDDR6 RAM, rather than the 4GB this GPU originally shipped with.
Interestingly, Lenovo offers the device with the 95W versions of both the RTX 3050 and the RTX 4050, while the top tier RTX 4060 option has a 115W TGP. This may mean that it will ship with a better cooling solution than the other two options.
Regardless of that, you get a 144Hz 1920 by 1200 IPS panel, while the processor is a 45W solution from Intel’s 13th Gen family. You also can pick the optional 1600p 165Hz display.
Now let’s not waste any more time and finally take out this laptop from its packaging.

Salut! J’hésite à acheter un loq 16, mais un truc me dérange, en ce moment les loq 16 ont de super promo allant de 984$ (la version 4060 amd 7 7840HS) à 700$ la version 3050 mais il n’apparaît pas dans les tops de pc à low budget, c’est normal ? Sinon, merci pour cette revue.
