Lenovo LOQ Gaming - 2023 - Everyday Gaming Laptop - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Graphics - 15.6" FHD Display - 32GB Memory - 2TB Storage - Intel i5-13420H 13th Gen - Grey

When I first opened the box, I found that the laptop had a relatively solid build quality. Even for plastic, the solid quality to it doesn't make it feel flimsy or loose to type into. Some minor flex is noticed, but doesn’t make it feel "hollow" or cheap either. Two days into continuous usage and some stress tests and I'm contented to how snappy it feels. The i7 model I went may be a little bit of an overkill, but it is more than enough for anything. (The i5 model runs out of stock pretty quick.) For someone who came from a Surface Pro 4 i5 and MBA, the build quality is rather impressive for the years I have owned aluminum-based devices. I have not really experienced any serious issues with gaming either. The Lenovo Vantage app is a great touch and I was able to optimize the usage I have for my computer. Speakers were decently capable, and I was able to tune it out using the Nahimic program. The 120hz display is silky smooth and clear with its anti-glare surface.Bottlenecks, Recommendations + NOTES:Upgrading the RAM helps...but is rather necessary. I experienced some lag in some areas when I had a lot of programs opened, including FPS drops when I played games requiring a lot of memory. Task Manager showed consistent 40% or more RAM being used. I strongly advise others to focus on upgrading the RAM to at least 16GB to prevent lagging and some potential crashes in other software. Keep in mind, the RAM it uses for intel (both i5 and i7) model laptops is DDR4, which isn't the best, but a great performer nonetheless..Just unusual that the Ryzen version has a MOBO that uses DDR5. I recommend getting 3200MHz to get most out of the performance you need for the RAM. The "16GB" limit stated from the manufacturer is uncertain, the possibility to use 32, or even 64GB of RAM should work.The storage is decent, however the 512GB may not be enough especially for gaming. So I recommend upgrading the memory. NOTE: It is necessary to use the smaller M.2 (2242) SSD (gen 4 capable) if you don't intend to replace the stock 512GB M.2, as it occupies 2280 M.2 already (for what I know about intel)The display of this laptop is good. It could definitely be better, but for everyday tasks and gaming it does more than enough for what I need. I don't highly recommend doing art/design related work on it, as the colors aren't going to be impressive for this laptop, they are okay at the best. I recommend getting a separate display for that. Some light bleed may be noticed on a very dark background as well.Battery life may also be lacking if the user uses extensive graphics in this computer. It is decent for the most part, and could possibly range from the least 2-7 depending on how it is being used and the specification it has. I'm yet to run out of battery since I have kept it charged in most cases. I don't travel that much either.Note: To mitigate with battery life, I recommend opening the Vantage app to switch the power mode to "Hybrid-Auto" mode, so it switches to the integrated graphics when unplugged for lower power usage. Unless you intend to game, you may put it back to Hybrid mode. I also recommend switching the thermal mode to "quiet" mode, so it reduces performance that may hinder battery life. The hotkey Fn-Q can switch power modes seamlessly. Which is indicated by the power button LED.I highly recommend updating all drivers as well.I bought this laptop in mind to use it long term and for moderate tasks and not solely for its gaming purposes. Overall, it is value for price, definitely needs upgrades though.

Finally arrived! After being missing for almost a week I finally have it in my hands. The laptop is very nice and everything works perfectly. I recommend upgrading the RAM since the default RAM is not enough (at least for gaming and multitasking). In my case I added 32 GB of RAM to it and it works perfectly fine, so if you are wondering if it can accept this amount of RAM, the answer is yes. The battery is not very good but I will have it charging most of the time so it is not a big problem for me. On the other hand, Amazon support is terribly bad. No one was able to give me a proper answer and everyone was sending me a default answer, they don't care about their customers at all, it's disappointing.

I'm rating this laptop based on it's specs, not compared to all available specs. With that said, I'll keep it simple. For what it is, it's great. I bought it for a family member that doesn't play the most up to date games so it'll definitely handle anything they need where the graphics card is concerned.There are two things however. The RAM is still low. 8gb just isn't that much. A lot of games suggest 16 but even outside of gaming, open enough Chrome, Firefox, etc tabs and you'll use up 8 pretty quick. The good news is another 8gb stick is about 20 bucks.Storage is also rather small by today's standards. 512gb. Half of that was used up within a couple hours between the operating system (windows 11) and the first couple games. This is where things get pricier. A half decent NVME SSD will average around 80-100 dollars per terabyte (1024gb). Faster ones may cost a little more depending on the brand.So long as you know what you're buying, it's good. I highly suggest adding RAM for $20. As for more SSD space, it's questionable. If you're patient, you could easily get a decent sized external drive to swap programs on for a lot less than another NVME but, don't expect it to be near as fast.This computer is fairly sleek. Boots fast. Runs kind of loud but not in a concerning way. The battery life is decent. For the price you'll have a hard time finding much better if you're looking at a laptop purely gaming related (that is, at this time given that prices drop fast).

Mid-range laptop for all your casual gaming needs this is actually an upgrade for my DJ laptop. Just saying.

Great laptop like a new unit no scratch and no cosmetics damages.

I ordered this for a compact, cost-effective product. I got it and then later that night after I picked it up to move it, I heard something was loose inside. I shook it a couple of times to make sure I wasn't imagining it.Sure enough, there was something inside the main body that was loose. It almost sounded like a rounded object. I didn't think it was going to be a big problem, until I tried connecting to my Home WiFi. It refused to do anything aside from giving me the "Connected, No Internet" error message. What is mind-boggling and infuriating is that it can connect to other networks (like an internet cafe), and my phone and other devices can connect to the home WiFi. But not this laptop for some reason.I did all of the troubleshooting, and it still won't fix the problem.Didn't get to do much gaming as a result, or experience what this laptop can offer. One star review for now until I can get a new one.I am returning this product in exchange for a new one that will hopefully work and I can get back to gaming with my friends.

Ive had my laptop for about 6 months(?) This is a solid budget option for casual gaming and productivity IF you spend 60$ extra and add a (2x16)32gb ram kit to it (DDR4 fyi). comes from the factory with a single 8gb stick. This will really wake up the laptop, 8gb is pretty limp in 2023 but they upgrade is simple, lots of youtube videos out there to show how its done.

Bought this as a gift for my dad for Christmas. He's been in need of a new gaming laptop and this one works amazingly. He's able to play everything from modded Minecraft to Fortnite to World of Warcraft all on max graphics.

Excelente equipo lo utilizo para trabajar y me funciona excelente la recomiendo completamente el único punto en contra es la batería cargada al 100 dura como hora y media pero fuera de ahí si la tines conectada el rendimiento es excelente otro factor a considerar es la RAM solo tiene 8 GB pero eso no impide que su potencia sea buena además es posible expandirla.Así que en pocas palabras cumple con lo que dice y es un excelente equipo.

Diseño limpio, buena calidad de los materiales, y cumple con las especificaciones.Lo usare para jugar y edición de imágenes y render de producto.

Como primer punto la descripcion es incorrecta, el equipo cuenta con 512GB de memoria interna y no 1TBModelo: IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IAH7 Laptop - Type 82S9RAM DDR4 3200 8GB (Se puede expandir hasta 64gb [16gb recomendados por el fabricante])*1Procesador: Intel core i7 12700HTarejta grafica: RTC 3050 TI (4GB DDR6 dedicado).Almacenamiento: NVMe KBG50ZNT512G LS KIOXIA (PUERTO 2030 PCIE 4.0)Teclado retroiluminado led blanco, Ingles USAWifi 6 AX*1 Si quieres sacarle el mejor rendimiento al equipo si o si es necesario aumentar la memoria RAM ya que hay cuello de botella, al trabajar con multiples programas el procesador y la grafica van sobradisimos, pero la RAM de 8GB y trbajando a mas del 90% y te da tirones, lo mano de esto es que pierdes la garantia*2, se puede agregar RAMM y otro SSD (NVME PCIE 3.0 2280) pero debes acudir acudir a un centro autorizado por Lenovo, el cual te cobrara 700mxn aprox por colocarle los componentes (Parte adquirirlos con ellos o bien en otro lado, pero si es el caso no te dan garantia por su instalacion, pero tu equipo si continua con garantia vigente ante lenovo), mas el envio del equipo o bien pagar por que vayan a tu domicio, lo cual se me hace algo costoso y algo que podrias hacer tu mismo, pero si quieres mantener tu garantia es importante tenerlo en cuenta.*2 Por ser un equipo de estados unidos la garantia no es valida en mexico asi que el punto anterior da lo mismo, amenos que contrates una garantia extendida en lenovo por precios muy accesibles, al momento de adquirir alguna extencion en mexico en automatico el servicio de garantia se hace vigente en tu pais, en mi caso adquiri el soporte a domicilio y por reparacion de daños acciodentales por algo asi de 900mxn utilziando el cupon que venia con la laptop.En general es un buen equipo y tu funcionara para trabajo, escuela y gamming, eso si para sacarle aprtido es indispensable aumentar la RAM, en cuanto a la bateria dura bastante poco, uso con rendimiento normal a 120hz durara a lo mucho 3 horas, ya que si reduces el brillo, bajas el consumo a equilibrado o ahorrador y la pantalla a 60hz adicional de no usar videojuegos o programas como autocad, sin problemas te da 6 horas de autonomia.Por el costo sus prestaciones son bastantes buenas y con la posibilidad de mejora, el sistema de ventilacion es muy bueno lo que ayudara a cuidar de tus componentes.

Obviamente para cosas de escuela u oficina sale sobrando. La laptop es muy buena y rápida con materiales que a pesar de que sean de plástico, son de buena calidad. Me gusta que tenga tipo persianas para que cuando se abra no se desgaste con el tiempo como algunas que he tenido anteriormente

Es muy buena compra, no es necesario tenerla conectada para que expriman su máximo rendimiento, aún que si compran la versión de 8gb para jugar, se van a quedar muy cortos.
