Good but the battery runs low quickly when gaming
I like this computer quite a bit. It can be a little loud though and it's heavy (unsurprisingly), but it's able to run the games I use it for and my drawing program. It's battery life isn't the greatest if you're using it for gaming as it can run out of juice and need to be plugged in pretty quickly. The screen darkens as a warning at 30% which is a little annoying, but if you're using it for less graphic heavy things or just schoolwork, it'll be more than good.

Perfect budget laptop for Adobe + multitasking (an
I’ve had this Lenovo LOQ for about a week and it’s been a huge upgrade for me. I’m a graphic designer and I needed a Windows laptop that could handle Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign smoothly without spending MacBook prices. I’ve already used it to design a resume (job hunting mode!) plus flyers and logos with multiple apps and tabs open, and it’s stayed fast and responsive. Photoshop handles layered files really well, Illustrator is snappy, and switching between programs doesn’t feel laggy. The fans do kick on when I’m doing heavier design work (which I expected), and it’s also been great for gaming with my boyfriend. The only thing I don’t love is the port layout: I wish there was a USB-C port on the left side because I’m right-handed and my mouse setup is on the right, so it would be more convenient. Other than that, this is an excellent value for the price and I’m really happy with it.

Great Budget Friendly Gaming Laptop
Great choice for small business needs. Runs smaller games great, bigger games like BO7 run fine, but keep in mind this is a smaller capacity laptop. The screen could be a slight brighter, but this is not a deal breaker. The battery life also is not the best in the market, but with Ryzen it helps. Great gaming laptop if you're on a budget. Not to mention Best Buy's team always knows how to recommend what's best for your needs. Thank you!
