Lenovo LOQ 15i (15" Intel, 2023) in-depth review
Today, we are going to review the second iteration of the Lenovo LOQ laptop. This time, it is a 15-inch model, which aims to battle with the likes of Acer's Nitro, HP's Vostro, and ASUS' TUF Gaming series of notebooks.Immediately, there is one question that arises - what is the difference between the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, and the LOQ machine? Well, we are not entirely sure, so we are going to treat the latter as a standalone product, rather than a rebranded machine.To be fair, its processor and GPU combo are pretty capable. We are talking about Intel's 13th Gen 45W CPUs, maxing out[...]

Lenovo LOQ 15 (15IRX9 / 15IAX9 / 15IAX9I) in-depth review
With the LOQ 15i (Gen 9), Lenovo is trying to take the crown for the best not-so-expensive laptop. This device can cause a revolution in the budget segment thanks to its fair price and great hardware under the bonnet. The machine is jam-packed. You can find it with Raptor Lake HX or HX Refresh CPUs with a 55W base power. The GPU variants also look good - one RTX 3000 model and two Ada Lovelace chips with decent TGPs.The device has a standard 15.6 form factor. That's why the display aspect ratio is 16:9. The base panel is a 1080p model with a 144Hz refresh rate which sounds fine for this pr[...]

HP Victus 15 (15-fa0000, fb0000, fa1000, fb1000) in-depth review
Even though Victus is not HP's most affordable gaming brand, it actually presents you with the best offers. And a little something tells us that it won't be only seasonal.In fact, the Victus 15 (15-fb0000) can be your best way to enter the gaming world. In particular, the 15-fb0000 comes with AMD CPUs from the last generation - Ryzen 5 5600H, and Ryzen 7 5800H. This is great, because these processors are still very powerful, and are pretty easy to cool.Graphics-wise, your choices are a bit limited. You won't be able to get anything more powerful than an RTX 3050 Ti. However, even the [...]

HP Victus 15 (15z-fb2000, fb3000) in-depth review
The HP Victus 15 (15-fb3000) occupies a unique space in the crowded budget gaming market. With its mature, understated "Shadow Black" design, it successfully hides its gaming DNA, making it a perfect fit for a quiet office or a minimalist dorm room. But don't mistake its subtle looks for weakness. Beneath the chassis, it’s built to deliver solid frame rates for competitive esports and AAA titles without the "gamer tax" often found on more expensive rigs. However, our testing uncovered a significant paradox: while it excels at keeping the GPU cool and stable, the CPU is pushed to its abso[...]
Pros
- Excellent GPU thermal management keeps gaming performance stable
- Stealthy, professional design with a fingerprint-resistant finish
- Fantastic upgradeability with two RAM and two M.2 slots

Cons
- CPU runs very hot (100°C) under sustained load
- Display has very poor color coverage (57% sRGB)

Lenovo Legion Go in-depth review
The Lenovo Legion Go is a gaming handheld that has powerful hardware. This device could give the Nintendo Switch and Valve Steam Deck a run for their money. Oh, wait, we have to include the ASUS ROG Ally (2023) in the list as well because it's based on the same hardware platform as the Legion machine. The CPU options here are the AMD Ryzen Z1 and the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme. We bought a device with the latter to see how good the cooling is when it has to tame an 8-core CPU alongside the snappy AMD Radeon 780M iGPU.Legion Go has more tricks up in its sleeve to top the competition. The most not[...]

HP OMEN 17 (17z-db0000, db1000) in-depth review
The HP OMEN 17 (17-db0000) is a big 17.3" machine that packs powerful hardware. This includes AMD Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS CPUs and NVIDIA Ada Lovelace GPUs with hefty power limits. We have no complaints regarding the upgradability. The port selection is also rich but its only con is the lack of Thunderbolt 4 connectors. The cool the thirsty hardware, HP has fitted a huge cooling under the bonnet. The manufacturer claims that the pair of large fans are 2.5 times slimmer and sport twice the blades compared to the older fan design. We can hint that the thermal system is good and we are impressed that[...]

MSI Katana 17 (B12Ux / B12Vx / B13Ux / B13Vx) in-depth review
MSI Katana's super budget characteristics are now part of history. The manufacturer has somewhat successfully converted the machine from an affordable to a mid-range product. While the main contributor to this is really NVIDIA, we have a thing or two to say about MSI's own participation.Today, our office smells like a freshly-baked MSI Katana 17 (B12V). Intuitively, the (B12V) part of the name indicates that it has a 12th Gen Intel processor. This means that some cost-cutting is becoming evident only by looking at the specs sheet.In addition to that, the Katana 17 (B12V) can be maxed [...]
Pros
- Competitively priced
- Decent cooling and performance
- Two SODIMM slots, and one M.2 PCIe x4 slot

Acer Nitro V 16 (ANV16-41) in-depth review
The gap between the Acer Predator devices and their Nitro siblings is getting smaller year after year. This is quite good, but some Nitro machines aren't budget offerings anymore since they are full of powerful hardware and other useful extras. Not all hope is lost because the V-series of the Nitro lineup is striking the laptop market with devices that boast modern hardware at a fair price. In 2023, we saw that the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) is a well-performing machine with some compromises here and there. Specs-wise, the Nitro V 16 (ANV16-41) looks even better with its Zen 4 Hawk Point-HS C[...]

ASUS TUF Gaming A15 (FA506) in-depth review
Last-years TUF FX505 was a very important device for the marque. ASUS was not very strong in the budget-gaming segment with the likes of Lenovo bringing the Legion Y540 and the Ideapad L340 Gaming series to the table. However, the FX505 managed to offer good value and performance, and moreover, strengthened the relationship between the brand and AMD.As a result, ASUS was first in the line to receive the latest and greatest Ryzen 4000 CPUs, and boy did that workout. Currently, the TUF A15 (the successor to the FX505) is one of the most popular devices out there and as we saw with the 17-in[...]

Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51) in-depth review
As you may already know, the Nitro series devices are budget-oriented laptops that offer a good bang for the buck (or at least in most cases). These machines are also very popular and that's why Acer is trying to manufacture even more affordable devices. Their new creation is called the Acer Nitro V 15 (ANV15-51).Interestingly, this one looks like an Aspire notebook with Nitro treatment. Of course, it's not just a rebranded notebook with a bit different look. You can use the handy Acer NitroSense app for advanced system monitoring, fan control, and for applying different performance preset[...]
