Previously, the LOQ 15 had the #1 spot, but now it sits at the still respectable #3, which is great considering how many laptops we have in our Specs System. It’s got a powerful configuration that features an 8-core 16-thread Ryzen 7 7840HS, an RTX 4050 with a 95W power limit, and a 15.6-inch 144Hz Full HD screen, which is a combo that can handle tons of games and play them rather well. The RAM and storage options are on the lower side, with 8GB of DDR4 memory and 512GB of PCIe Gen 4 storage, however, you can upgrade both with our How to Open Guide. Currently, the laptop is available for a price of $846.69 for the aforementioned configuration.

🥈 #2 MSI Pulse 15

The Pulse 15 comes in a seriously powerful configuration, with a Core i7 13700H, an RTX 4060 with a 140W power limit (beefy boy), as well as a 1080p 144Hz IPS panel that runs smooth and provides good visuals. We’ve reviewed the Pulse 15 (In-depth Review), and we can say that we’re delighted with how it handles the Core i7, maintaining high TDPs and clock speeds, which is great considering the 14 cores that it has. The laptop is better outfitted when it comes to RAM and storage, with a 1TB SSD and 16GB of RAM.

🥇 #1 Lenovo LOQ 16

It’s got 16GB of DDR4 memory, as well as 512GB of storage. The LOQ 16 laptops also have taller 16:10 displays, as this model uses a Full HD+ (1920 x 1200p) 144Hz panel.

We have an in-depth review of the Intel-based Lenovo LOQ 16, so don’t forget to read it to get an overall view of the laptop:

Lenovo LOQ 16i (16" Intel, 2023) in-depth review

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 T[...]
