Lenovo LOQ mixed bag of tricks

Really wanted to like this Lenovo gaming laptop. Elegant and reserved style for a gaming machine. The blue color was kinda weird at first, but the fin vents won me over. Excellent keyboard feel for the price-point. Very quiet operation while being a performance beast. Excellent benchmarks all around. Never got really hot along top case around function keys. (The Nitro 5 from 2019 it replaced would cook an egg up there.) Did exactly as hoped for the ONE game it was primarily for.
Now the disappointing bit... It had the intermittent no-boot after shutdown or hot-plug power and then shutdown that the forums noted. Also had driver and other conflicts between the 7840's integrated GPU and the NVIDIA 4050 discreet GPU. With some deep fiddling of the BIOS, and Windows tools, and other adjustments way beyond the average consumer, I was able to get mostly stable performance by completely disabling the integrated GPU and more micro managing game graphics settings. But it still had stuttering and other graphics and boot weirdness.
I didn't buy a new machine for that nonsense being included, and reluctantly returned it. I bought up to another brand and higher price point, but, Intel CPU/integrated GPU and NVIDIA discreet GPU. No driver or other issues.
Intel plays well with NVIDIA, and AMD plays well with Radeon, but hoped this mixed combo would work for me to get that 7840 CPU.
If you have one (it's gone now), and ducked the issues above, it rates a 5/5. As I experienced it, only two stars for a good try, Lenovo.

This laptop is amazing. Super fast. What I recommend you guys to do is to upgrade the RAM to 32GB and 2 TB SSD that would make it way better.

I absolutely love this laptop. The first time I've bought one that actually exceeded my expectations. The battery drains a bit quick but that's no biggie. I knew that before purchasing it. Definitely recommend for others to purchase it if in the need.

Decent cpu and gpu, but low memory for gaming. Also runs hot, so you’ll need a cooling plate if you intend to play newer games on medium graphics settings.

Very capable gaming laptop. Fast. I'd suggest adding another stick of 8gb ram.
Only drawback is the display is not high-end, but neither is the price.

Nice configuration except a little low on memory. The track pad could have been bigger (coming from Mac)
The good thing here is upgradability on memory and hard drive. 2nvme slots 4x4 is a big advantage. The bigger bezel (big chin) is a let off they could have made it to 16 inches display easily. Type C is charging the laptop as high as 80watt so a big plus. Love 7840u every but if it. Whatever you throw at it takes and kills it easily.

Good specs can run games that I want more than 60fps but after a week I got blue screen maybe the ssd was broken or the operating system was corrupted I tried everything I could but it won’t let me I tried system restore,uninstall the latest windows updates I even tried to reset the laptop but won’t let me so I returned it and replaced it for a new one hopefully the new one doesn’t have any issues (will update soon after 2 weeks of using the new one)

Traded in a 2020 Macbook PRO M1 to try out this LOQ and I am not disappointed. Out of the box this thing runs faster then anything I've had in the past. I did and do recommend upgrading the RAM to minimum 16gb though because you will run into some issues with the 8gb on certain games as other reviewers have pointed out.
Battery doesn't last forever but its a gaming laptop and having the cord plugged in provides much better power options.
