Computers have come such a long way. This computer has been no slouch when it comes to gaming. Plays Red Dead 2 flawlessly. Fans don't get very loud, but it sure blows out some heat due to all the processing and video power. The only minor complaints I have is battery life, which isn't a deal breaker on a gaming laptop. And the size is a little bit cumbersome in terms of backpack abilities. But other than those few gripes, I'm quite impressed, bottom line, for the price, you can't beat what you're getting. Upgraded to a 2tb SSD, next up will be 32gb of ram, but the 16gb that it came with seems to handle gaming just fine. Great value, would definitely recommend.

We are pleased to read that the LOQ 15 packs a punch and tackles your needs well. We appreciate your comments regarding design and battery life. If you'd like to hear more about battery life, please see below:
Regarding your issue with battery – as you may know there are lots of variables that contribute to battery and in gaming laptops that can increase even more due to their high-powered processors and graphics cards. If you want to squeeze out more battery life and are completing non-intensive graphics tasks, you can utilize the MUX switch built into this model to turn off the dedicated GPU to greatly decrease power draw. This can be done in the Lenovo Vantage app > top right box > GPU working mode, then choosing your preferred method. Users can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both words, along with custom settings configurable in Lenovo Vantage. You could also press the Fn + R key combo to toggle to a lower refresh rate for even greater power conservation.

Definitely one of the best entry laptops Ive had, runs my classwork and light to medium gaming super well and i love the ports on the back only thing I dilike was low batery life and steep price, but for what it can do it makes sense on both things.

I purchased this Lenovo LOQ 15 as a value-focused gaming and work laptop, and I’ve been extremely happy with it so far. Out of the box, the performance was solid for 1080p gaming and everyday productivity, but what really makes this laptop stand out is how upgrade-friendly it is.
I upgraded the system with additional components that I also purchased from Best Buy, including a 32GB DDR5 RAM kit and a Samsung 990 PRO 1TB NVMe SSD. The upgrade process was straightforward, and the laptop clearly was designed with expandability in mind. After the upgrades, the system feels like a much higher-tier machine than its price suggests.
With the Intel i5-13450HX and RTX 5050, games run smoothly at 1080p, and the extra RAM and fast SSD make a noticeable difference in load times, multitasking, and overall responsiveness. I’m running demanding titles like Cities Skylines II and other modern games without issues, and the 144Hz display is a great match for this hardware.
Thermals have been good, build quality feels solid for the price, and Lenovo Vantage makes it easy to switch into performance mode when gaming. For anyone looking for a gaming laptop that offers strong performance out of the box and the flexibility to upgrade later, this is an excellent choice.
Overall, this feels like a premium setup after upgrades, especially considering the price I paid during a Best Buy sale. Highly recommended for gamers or power users who want performance, value, and upgradability in one package.

I grabbed this Lenovo LOQ on a pre-Black Friday deal, and it’s easily one of the best value gaming laptops I’ve seen. If you want a machine that punches way above its weight class without spending a fortune, this is a winner.
The Performance:
The NVIDIA RTX 5050 is a beast for 1080p gaming and handles video editing or light 3D work with no problem. Everything feels super snappy thanks to the 16GB of DDR5-4800 RAM and the 512GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, which makes loading screens a thing of the past.
The Surprise Feature:
Most gaming laptops have a blurry 720p camera, but this one has a 5MP (1440p) webcam. It’s way clearer than standard 1080p cams—perfect for Discord or work calls.
The Build:
It’s a bit thick/bulky, but it feels well-made and has a great variety of ports for all your gear. It's definitely a solid "desktop replacement" for someone on a budget.
Quick Summary
Pros:
• Excellent GPU Power: RTX 5050 handles modern games and creative tasks with ease.
• Fast Memory/Storage: DDR5 RAM and Gen 4 SSD mean no lagging or long wait times.
• Crystal Clear Webcam: The 5MP sensor is a huge upgrade over the competition.
• Sturdy Build: Feels durable and higher quality than other budget laptops.
Cons:
• Short Battery Life: You’ll definitely want to keep the charger handy.
• Screen Brightness: Not the brightest display; best used in indoor settings.
• Portability: A bit on the thick/heavy side.
I hope this review will help you make a wise decision based on your needs.

This is definitely what I was looking for as a gaming busy mom of two. (It’s hard to sit at a desktop comfortably with little ones climbing on you to see lol) But I love it! I was in need of a gaming laptop that I could load all of The Sims 4 and WoW (both with all the expansions and mods). Both games run flawlessly! I’ve had it for about a month and frequently game; especially one weekends. No overheating, no graphic issues! Definitely a must have!!

Honestly, I was looking for a budget gaming laptop that wasn't embarrassing to take to a coffee shop, and the LOQ absolutely nails it. The price to performance is crazy, you get a RTX 5050 (better than the desktop version) and an intel 13th generation CPU. It chews through pretty much every game I throw at it at 1080p. I'm hitting high/ultra settings in Cyberpunk, Call of Duty, and still getting very playable frame rates. The keyboard is great aswell, the keys feel clicky and responsive, and having the full numpad is a lifesaver for work and school stuff, your hands don’t get sweaty from gaming. It is also very easy to upgrade, you can upgrade the SSD and RAM very easily. I recently got this laptop on Black Friday for $649, and I haven’t regretted it since.

This Gaming pc is my first and hands down is the best. I was so undecided on getting this but the Best Buy rep was helpful and explained the pros and cons on different Brands and products. And again I don’t regret making this decision. Love how the computer works for gaming and for work.

I will say this is by far the best laptop ive ever bought ( I work in the IT field). I went ahead and got several other products with this laptop to increase from 16 gigs of ram to 32 gigs of ram and added another 1 tb nvme ssd. THis laptop is a beast. Im able to play cyberpunk 2077 easy on 2k, just finished dying light the beast in 2k also. Its the perfect balence between value and power in a gaming laptop!

I'm very happy with this laptop. The performance is fast and smooth, and it handles daily tasks and multitasking easily. The screen looks great, the design is clean, and the battery life is good for everyday use. Overall, it's an excellent value for the price and I highly recommend .

The specs are amazing for the price, which is also supported by that it had probably the best build quality among the similarly placed laptops of other brands. Only thing that may be not the best is not the biggest ssd size, but that could be upgraded, though with current ssd prices may be not as cheap as it was before.
But its still very worth the price

Very good starter gaming laptop, I mainly use it for discord,gaming and streaming and it works perfectly! I do recommend buying a laptop cooler for intense gaming as the laptop does get hot

To kick off my freelance career,I treated myself to a powerful gaming laptop. My goal was to master pro construction software, and it's perfect for the job. No regrets!

The Lenovo LOQ i7 is one of those laptops that feels like it’s doing a lot without trying too hard. It’s built for people who want real performance but don’t want to pay premium “gaming laptop” prices like a Legion or Alienware.

Works just as intended and is great value for its price. Struggles with battery but if it is used as a desktop, that would be the last concern. Also quite heavy.
