Lenovo LOQ 15.6" 83DX00AVUS 2025, Ryzen 7 8845HS, 16GB, 1TB SSD, RTX 4060, Luna Grey

The Lenovo LOQ 15 packs an RTX 4060 and Ryzen 7 8845HS into a heavy, budget-focused chassis. Performance is the highlight, but portability and port selection are weak spots. At $1,269, it's a solid desk-bound gaming machine if you can live with the trade-offs.

The RTX 4060 lands in the 88th percentile for gaming laptops in our database, which means it's one of the best mid-range GPUs you can get right now. The Ryzen 7 8845HS is also a standout at the 82nd percentile, so CPU-heavy games and multitasking won't choke. 16GB of DDR5 is about average, and the 1TB SSD sits in the middle of the pack. The 144Hz display keeps things smooth, but 300 nits brightness means you'll want to stay indoors or crank the blinds. For 1080p gaming, this thing will chew through most titles at high settings without breaking a sweat.

Against the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, the LOQ wins on raw GPU performance per dollar but loses badly on portability and build quality. The HP OMEN Transcend 14 is thinner and has a better screen, but you'll pay more for similar specs. The MSI Prestige and Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro aren't really gaming machines, so they're not direct competitors. If you want a desktop replacement that stays on a desk, the LOQ makes sense. If you need something to carry around, look at the Zephyrus.

At $1,269 USD, this is a fair deal for the specs. You're getting a strong CPU and GPU combo that would cost more in a thinner, lighter chassis. The problem is the unknowns. With only 4 customer reviews and a sentiment score of 45/100, you're buying on spec sheet faith rather than community trust. If the price drops below $1,100, it becomes a much easier recommendation.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 is a budget-friendly gaming laptop that gets the important stuff right. You get an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS, an RTX 4060 with 8GB of VRAM, 16GB of DDR5, and a 1TB SSD. That's a solid 1080p gaming setup for the price.

But there are trade-offs. The chassis is heavy at 4.54kg, the port selection is thin, and the display is just okay at 300 nits. It's a machine built for performance per dollar, not for portability or premium extras.

Skip this if you need a laptop you can actually carry around. At 4.54kg, it's basically a desktop with a screen attached. Also skip it if you rely on lots of USB peripherals, the port selection is thin. And if you want a machine with a proven track record, the lack of user reviews should give you pause.

Buy this if you want a no-frills 1080p gaming laptop with a strong CPU and GPU and you don't care about weight or port selection. It's a desk-bound workhorse. Skip it if you need something portable, bright, or backed by a mountain of positive user reviews.
