For 2023, Lenovo has introduced another line of gaming laptops, the Lenovo LOQ. This line is positioned below the flagship Legion laptops but unlike the outgoing Ideapad Gaming line, the LOQ is much, much more capable performance-wise.
Not only does the LOQ have at least an Nvidia RTX GPU, it even has a MUX switch to allow full power when gaming.
The LOQ gaming laptops come in both AMD Ryzen 7000 series and 13th-gen Intel Core CPUs.
Like all gaming laptops releasing this year, the LOQ gaming laptops adopts the 15-inch and 16-inch naming conventions. The 15 models are actually using regular 16:9 aspect ratio 15.6-inch screens, however. And only one model, the highest end LOQ 16IRH8, uses the latest RTX 40 Series graphics, the rest using last gen’s RTX 30 Series.
