Introducing Lenovo LOQ, a new line of gaming laptops for new and budget gamers
Lenovo expands its suite of gaming laptops today with a new line to serve the budget and new-to-gaming markets, and to be honest, it’s perfect timing.
The Lenovo LOQ – pronounced “lock” – gaming laptops join Lenovo’s gaming lineup that’s dominated by over-$1,000/£1,000 builds to cater to budget gamers who need something capable without burning an RTX 4090-sized hole in their pockets.
“With the launch of the new Lenovo LOQ brand,” says Jun Ouyang, Lenovo’s VP and general manager of the Consumer Business Segment, “we’re building a lineage of gaming excellence and PC offerings that are not just for the gaming community’s top players, but for new and future gamers alike.”
The LOQ gaming laptops will be available in both 16-inch and 15-inch display sizes and powered by 13th Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 7000 chips and Nvidia RTX 4060 graphics, the desktop model of which is rumored to hit the streets in April 2023. Configurations for both sizes will come with up to 16GB 5,600MHz DDR5 RAM, and it’ll be future-proofed with support for up to 32GB storage and up to a 1TB PCIe SSD.
While they’re not exactly super cheap – a bit of a tall order if you want a gaming laptop that won’t give you a migraine and sore eyes, gamers are actually getting new affordable options in the budget gaming laptop market, which is seriously underserved. The base configurations for both Intel and AMD models of the Lenovo LOQ 15 will start at $899.
