Great budget gaming laptop - crap battery

I've been looking for a budget gaming laptop right before Black Friday, there's just so many to choose from! My budget was 600-800 but even in this range you've got a lot of options.
Pros:
* Price - I've got this during Black Friday so it was 300 bucks off. Can't beat this!
* Graphics card - Not many (in this price range) comes with RTX 4060
* Memory - Already comes with 16GB that's a plus.
* Additional m.2 slot - Score! For additional storage space
* Upgradeable - easy to swap new m.2 or memory should you decide to upgrade
* Built-in Ethernet - not that I use this a lot but it's the thought that counts!
* Speed - it's fairly fast for the $$$, memory and disk could improve the score even higher. Check passmark scores for details
Cons
* Battery - Plenty of people pointed this out, this battery is horrible! Rated at 3789mAh
* Memory - Not the fastest at 4800 MT/s
* Disk - Not complaining about 512GB size but the speed is below average at best. It's a Micron 2400 m.2 gen4 actual read speed is up to 4,200 MB/s with write speed up to 1,800 MB/s
* Single USB-c port - Seriously, really?? A hub is a must!
* Bulky power supply - Typical but you can get a smaller / lightweight 100W USB-c charger from Anker for 24 bucks. I use this when traveling.
* Weight - yes this thing is heavy!
* Fan Noise - Oh boy, if you're gaming hard the fans will kick in high gear (along with the noise)
Wrap-up - I'm happy with the purchase, it's not the perfect laptop but what is. Yes battery is an issue if you're traveling, just make sure you're close to an outlet and you're good! If you can get this during a sale, go for it!

Hi dragonxyz, thanks for choosing Lenovo! If you want to squeeze out more battery life and are completing non-intensive graphics tasks, we recommend utilizing the MUX switch built into this model to turn off the 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 more power conservation. We're thrilled to hear that your LOQ has great value to you, and we really appreciate you sharing your experience and feedback with us.

I bought the laptop for work not gaming. Basically I wanted it for specs. Easily customizable. I upgraded to 32gb of ram and I added 1tb SSD. I also switched os to the 1tb SSD . Laptop is fast and works perfectly for my uses. Great for multi tasking. I don't intend to play games but it's highly rated amongst gaming PC's even outperforming more expensive brands in some categories. I am also now going to stick with Lenovo as I am impressed. Other reviews mentioned battery life, noise, graphics etc. but this is fine for me as I keep it plugged in mostly. Love the placement of power cord and other peripherals, out of the way. For the price and specs I have no complaints, hence 5 stars. Love it

I couldn’t be more thrilled with my purchase of the Lenovo LOQ 15.6” Gaming Laptop from Best Buy. From unboxing to powering it up, this laptop screams premium quality and delivers unparalleled performance at an incredible price point. Best Buy’s seamless shopping experience and fast delivery added to the excitement!
This gaming beast, powered by the AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060, effortlessly handles the latest AAA games at ultra settings with buttery-smooth frame rates. The FHD display immerses you in vivid, crystal-clear visuals, while the 16GB of RAM ensures multitasking is a breeze. Whether gaming, streaming, or editing, this machine is up for any challenge.
The design is sleek, modern, and portable, with the Luna Grey finish giving it a premium feel. Lenovo’s cooling system is whisper-quiet, even during marathon gaming sessions, keeping the system cool and stable. The 512GB SSD provides lightning-fast load times, ensuring no downtime between your favorite games or applications.
Best Buy deserves a shoutout for their exceptional service. Their knowledgeable staff helped me make the perfect choice, and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Lenovo has set a new standard for gaming laptops, and Best Buy made the experience flawless.
If you’re on the fence about upgrading your gaming setup, don’t wait—this laptop is a total game-changer. I can confidently say this is the best investment I’ve made in years. Thank you, Lenovo and Best Buy, for delivering such an outstanding product!

Likely the best bang for your buck value if you want to play modern titles (Marvel Rivals, Horizon Zero Dawn) for a reasonably portable and reasonably cool device. I’ve had this for a few months now and I’ve yet to run into any major issues. Here are some of my favorite features:
Design - sleek, matte gray finish, matte display, screen size, rear ports - This laptop delivers on gaming performance while still appearing work-friendly. My favorite, FAVORITE thing ended up being the matte finish. My last laptop was a black ASUS and that drove me nuts! This will look cleaner and likely last longer. As an added bonus that some may prefer, most of the essential ports are on the back—so for example, your charger won’t hang off the side and get in the way of the keyboard (unless you’re charging thru USB C).
Function - USB C charging, upgradeable - It is especially convenient to have one cable for most of my devices, and this feature seems to be uncommon on gaming laptops. Also, easy future proofing is included! You can upgrade the RAM slots and there is an additional empty SSD slot.
Minor Drawbacks… considering price to performance, my personal gripes may not bother you:
Design - No left-facing ports? Still hefty, no smaller options - 5 pounds is decent, but the aluminum Legion somehow manages a pound less. And this is more of a pipe dream than a gripe with this model—but I would love an LOQ designed in the same vein as the Legion Slim! 14.5in is especially a great screen size for balancing portability and visibility. But it’s hard to argue with the standard 15.6in of this LOQ. My confusion with the design is that for whatever reason, all available ports are on the back.. and then a few are scattered only on the right side. I feel that one more USB C on the left would have been perfect!
Function - Battery Life, just falls short in number of ports - Regarding battery life, that is just an unfortunate side effect to gaming laptops, but this one runs low especially quick! Always keep a charger nearby.
Overall, I do still love this laptop, and expect to use it for years to come. This has a great design and although it’s not necessarily cheap, it is a really good price for a powerful gaming laptop!

I’ve been using the Lenovo LOQ 15.6" Gaming Laptop for a few months now, and it’s been an amazing experience overall. The Ryzen 7 processor paired with the RTX 4060 handles everything smoothly — from gaming to heavy data science tasks. The display quality is sharp and vibrant, and performance remains steady even with multiple apps running.
Battery life is decent for a gaming laptop, lasting around 5–6 hours on regular use. The build feels solid, and cooling works well during long sessions. Best Buy’s service was excellent — super fast delivery, great communication, and very secure packaging. Overall, I’m really happy with both the laptop and the purchase experience.

I have had the chance to use this laptop for a while now and I must say that it has exceeded my expectations in many aspects, especially in its price-performance balance.
First of all, the performance of this machine is impressive for its price range. This laptop handles daily tasks like web browsing, using productivity apps, and consuming multimedia without any issues. It also allows for smooth multitasking, without any slowdowns or interruptions.
Storage is also a big plus. I have enough space for my documents, apps, and multimedia files, and the read and write speed is remarkably fast, improving the overall user experience.
Another plus point is its build quality and design. Despite being affordable, it doesn't feel cheap. The casing is sturdy, and the keyboard is comfortable for long typing sessions. The display offers clear images and vibrant colors, which is great for both work and entertainment.
Finally, I would say the battery life is its only weak point. However, given that this is a laptop primarily designed for gaming, it is a concession I made when choosing this particular model.
In short, this laptop offers a near-perfect balance between cost and performance. For its price, it is hard to find another option that delivers as much in terms of power, storage, and build quality. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable laptop.

It literally plays all game at high setting if not at the highest. I wish the storage was bigger, because 512gb is not enough to hold even 5-6 games. 1TB would have made this laptop perfect. 16gb ram is enough to handle all games and Ryzen7 7435hs is also fast enough. In overall I recommend this laptop

I love this laptop overall for the price I paid, the HHHYZEN 7 is decently quick and has 8 cores, and the RTX 4060 gravis card plays any game at high settings 1080p and they look great and decently smooth. Love the build quality too nice solidly built. Downsides to this are it's quite heavy for a 15 inch laptop, probably heaviest ive seen since like 2005 lol. The battery life is a joke, it will last you 1.5 hours watching videos and it only coming with 500 gb SSD and making you take the entire backplate off to add another one is kinda wack.

I bought this laptop a little less than a year ago for my daughter and it’s been great. It’s a solid starter gaming laptop and can run every game. My daughter plays Fortnite and it runs great. My only complaint is that it doesn’t have back light keys but not a big issue. I would highly recommend for the price point.

Reliable laptop. Runs very well on games like apex and the finals, while also be a great laptop for music production and 3D designing. Display is acceptable in my opinion, and I had no issues with it. Hardware is excellent and is capable of overclocking, though it can get a bit loud. Only real negative is the battery life, which is predictably short. I never had too much of an issue with it since I always keep it on the charger, but if your looking to use this as a travel laptop, it might be best to look elsewhere.

Good laptop with very good performance, but very low battery life, problem was if you wanted to play the games you needed to play plugged in but the brick is 180w and it gets super hot and it might cases battery issues over time, All though it have 12 months battery warranty for free but I wanted to add some more money and build a PC instead, overall not bad, pretty good, except battery issues.

Plays most medium-heavy games with no issue. Fit my needs perfectly.
Easy open, with one hand, thanks to the tab on the lid and hinges. The bottom of the laptop doesn't try and flip up with it. That's honestly my favorite part. Soft texture keys are a MAGNET for fingerprints and skin oil but whatever. This model only has white for keyboard backlight. Fans aren't obnoxious but they definitely sound like they're putting in work. Exhaust on the back of the laptop is a nice feature.
