I actually got one, and tbh, after few updates of their arc driver, it's getting better. Yes, it is still not as good as Nvidia lineup but can compete to games rn
Where I'm from the LOQ, TUF and Nitro lineup all cost about RM6000 or roughly $1400 converted. Might seems affordable but reaching 6K in local currency feels like a milestone not many are willing to take and even worse so now that our dollar values are low. Why this is important is because the Legion 5 lineup is reaching our 7k to 9k territory which is enough to afford a bike here. Budget in my country has never mean affordable. At best we're getting 3050s and 4050s at under $800 for newer released products. It's just another reality of buying laptops not in the US 🤷🏻♂️
You're checking the wrong places. The Lenovo Malaysia website has the cheapest LOQ start at RM$3600k. That's with a 12th gen Intel and RTX 2050. A slightly higher spec'd LOQ right now starts at a discounted RM$3700k which gets you the 13th gen Intel and RTX3050 which you can spec up to a RTX4060 8GB making it RM$4600. If you maximize the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 which starts at RM$3700 right now, then it'll be slightly below RM$6000 assuming you know how to install Windows yourself. That gets you. Intel i7-14700HX (i7-13650HX is RM$200 cheaper and i5-13450HX is RM$780 cheaper) 16GB DDR5 RAM (either in single 16GB stick or 8x2 stick) 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD TLC (There's a RM$20 cheaper option thats QLC) 15.6" 16:9 1440p 100%sRGB 165hz 350nit display (1080p option is 144hz 300nit 100%sRGB and RM$210 cheaper) RTX 4060 8GB (Not a 4050, and you can't option cheaper GPU if you max out the CPU) White backlit keyboard (you can get RGB keyboard for RM$70 more but that puts it over RM$6000 with the specs above) No OS installed (Windows 11 Home 64 starts at RM$410) Free mouse and backpack included. I don't know where you got an LOQ that costs RM$6000 with a 4050. You can get a student discount and that lets you option the RGB keyboard and POSSIBLY have WIndows 11 Home installed and still be under RM$6000. I hope this helps.
@@shafiq_ramli he's probably maxing out the specs. On Lenovo website, the one in this video starts at rm3.6k while an amd one configured with 8645hs, a 4050 and 16gb ram is around rm5.1k... can also try get last year's model, iirc not much if any performance difference?
More information. Lenovo Malaysia have really good discounts sometime. I bought my Legion 5 Pro and paid RM$1 each for a monitor, backpack, mouse and headset. Usually happens when they have old stock that they want to get rid off. The 1080p 165hz IPS display and backpack is pretty good. The mouse and headset are bad but it was RM$1 each so I got more than what I've paid for. Correction on my reply above, the mouse and backpack is not free. It's RM$1 each.
I have LOQ 15 with i5 and 4060, 165hz WQHD screen. Got it for around 900 bucks. Absolute unit compared to high end models I've owned before. How this thing is considered gaming on a budget is beyond me. Best purchase I've done in a long time when it comes to laptops
How long have you owned it for? 2023 or 2024 model? Any issues you faced? I purchased one myself but i can see a lot of posts saying it has issues of failing motherboard , psu etc.
@@kanchankashyap4476 a lot of people are very demanding tbh, loq is a very decent budget laptop, and take note that it's "budget" yet it gives decent overall quality and performance
Purchased loq 15, i7, 4060, 144hz at around march 2024 and currently its still working very well. I dont really like the battery life of around 2 to 3 hrs but a gaming laptop is meant to be like a portable pc and should be plugged in most of the time.

Affordable Gaming laptops are so worth it these days! Only thing I would really look for is if you VR or not. as its still recommended for a higher end laptop for VR ing.
Yeah, there is a reason for me for choosing the i5/rtx 4050 version over last years r7/rtx4050 version .... it´s about 400€ "!" cheaper right now here in germany ....whyever ....
If prices equals or close 2024 model has FHD 100%sRGB (2023 model no), maybe more premium design, undervolting in lenovo's software (true game changer!) but maybe worse cooling system (no side radiators)
the rtx 4070 if you often times play gpu demanding games, it has the same vram with 4060 but it's still stronger, but on the other hand if you do a little bit of everything daily and less hardcore gaming then the rtx 4060, the i9 14900hx is a beast
Yeah, got to watch the heating issues. I got one with the 4060 and a Ryzen 7 HS processor. Motherboard shorted out due to heat in 3 weeks. Luckily where I got it still has a return policy and was able to get it replaced.

Hi, i really liked the design of this specific model of LOQ and planning to buy with same 12450hx and RTX 2050, 16GB DDR5 4800 spec. I will be using it for design works mainly and may be some light gaming like AOE 3 DE and WOT Blitz. I have a well build PC so will be using the laptop for my works mainly when i am away from home. Would you recommend buying it considering the screen quality and overall performance and build quality? Will be running Pohotoshop and Illustrator mainly on it. Thank you.
Hi, It's been few months and ,I wanna buy Lenovo LOQ. I found one with 2050 rtx, Ram 16gb, and amd ryzen 5600h. my question is that can I run game engines like unity with it? will I face issues with it? I'm not into playing games that are too complicated, but most probably old games only.
if youre not a gamer why would you want a gaming laptop, get a good cpu and power efficient laptop instead, gaming laptops eat up battery very fast even when just using it for coding because the power usage is very heavy due to the dedicated gpu and inefficient cpu's, it gets loud sometimes for no reason, noticeably heavier than a regular laptop and it will last you significantly fewer years because the battery will die quick
The Intel Gpu model is perfectly fine. The only problem is with the higher wattage gpu's like 4070 one's. & a530m is waste instead seek for rtx 2050 it got the same price with increased performance.
Anyone with I5 13th gen rtx 4050 version from SEA region? did you guys have mobo issues after months of use? I'm considering buying it since it's the only laptop with advance optimus and decent screen quality at this price range.. From what Ive heard mobo issues are mostly on Indian market
Does it's perfect for creators who use Photoshop premiere pro, after effects, illustrator a lot And also please tell and suggest me that it hang or lang in usage or not Pls tell me it's having any lag or hang issue or not And its compatible for gamers and creators
I ordered my first ever laptop and i wanna know if i chose well, i wanna use it for my graphic design projects but as well as gaming, so if someone can tell me if i made a good choice, that would be wonderful!!!

I use the LOQ laptop but the GPU I'm using is RTX 2050 and the game performance was good for entry level of gaming. Like the honest review because I almost take the intel GPU and luckily I don't take it
the arc gpu driver has received extremlely good optimization updates now, it beats the rtx 2050 and is on par with the 3050 on dx12 games and some dx11 games tho older games would run better on nvidia since intel hasnt tackled much yet
Thanks for video, but it’s sad that I ordered this today before I watched to this video. I took it for codding actually what do you think I will be regret?
Hey Matthew. Why are there no real reviews of the new Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 (2024)? Its already been release in some countries, but not much have been heard about it so far online. Is there a Review embargo on it? When can we expect you to get to it?
No review embargo. I just haven't requested one to review. Most of the laptops coming out are identical to last years model minus the slight CPU change which is pretty much the same as last year. I think most reviewers are just not reviewing them because there is no point.
You can see by the price that it is not really an upgrade and that it is a sideways edition for 2024, a stop gap as the new architecture chips are not ready yet. I would say to anyone that does not need to upgrade at the moment that giving 2024 Windows laptops a miss will be a good sensible decision. Wait for the next-gen AMD, Intel Core Ultra, and Snapdragon X Elite.
i have the ir8h one its the last year one with the 3050 6gb and 8gb of ram it works good put in a second ssd for more storage i like the last year model more it seems better the new one seems cheaper built
The legion slim 5 2023 was on sale for 900$ most of the time since black friday Which would be the best dollar for performance ratio Problem is thats only in USA for the rest of us the prices are alot higher
I have searched for more than 100 laptops under $750. There are no good options at all. And there is no combined category for student/productive and gamer. If you have experience with any, pls do reply
I have the Lenovo LOQ 15.6: Ryzen 7 7840HS, 8GB memory and NVIDA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB- 512 SSD. Storm Grey i got it for 699 on best buy when it was on sale its a good laptop.(2023 version) it goes on sale like every month ngl for 700 - 750 its a good deal ngl, off sale it cost $1,099.
i have last years slim 7 ryzen 7 7840hs rtx 4060, While im impressed with it im still having issues with the laptop freezing every now and then (with 32 gb ram) and problems with the laptop not powering on correctly from sleep/off. Ive spoken with lenovo support and theyve tried to fix it 3 times but it still comes up. Really embarrassing for lenovo as this is their top of the line gaming laptop
Get the Nvidia version with 3050 6 gb they're relatively the same price Intel is still new let them adjust the tech for another 2 years before considering buying it
nah if you're gonna buy the rtx 3050 6gb, go for the 4050 6gb instead, because of it's power efficiency, dlss, fg, and more power proof capability than the rtx 3050, it's not that much more expensive than the 3050
Got the exact same and its my first laptop and its good. I can play valorent at like 300-500 fps. Display is nice too after changing to colour to 70% saturation using the intel control app. Only complain is that the battery life is like 2 to 3 hrs only and the speakers are quite bad but usable. Also there's no dolby atmos. The rgb lighting was buggy initially but i think the software update fixed it and now it works very smoothly, the rgb lighting is bright and vibrant but its brighter when the ac is not plugged for some reason. The build of it also feels slick and quite premium. But the battery life issue is the main problem for me currently but i see that its a common problem among most gaming laptops. But for gaming its smooth and home use its very nice. The feature app is also very useful.
@@MatthewMoniz I do agree that right CTRL was pretty useless, but why the Copilot key? It's incredibly under baked compared to ChatGPT and Gemini, to the point where the extra steps to access the more powerfuls AIs are easily worth it. Lenovo should've just made it a non-third party rebindable key.
@@ctrl_x1770 While I would just say if you won't use it and it's not necessary to, why bother complaining? On the other hand, the rebindable key would be really smart, I give you that.
@@iuhshwth1634 To be honest, I was just joking with my original comment about how useless copilot is.. I don't actually care too much about the copilot button. My bad though jokes don't carry too well over text
Do you think good sRGB is a must for a gaming pc? Im thinking of buying a lenovo loq and has everything i want, which is hard to find for 999usd (4060 graphs, 13th gen, 16ram ddr5, 144hz) but im having a hard time because it only has 45% ntsc... I actually already bought it, but because of this i might cancel the order.
I fraking hate copilot or whatever name they give it, key on the keyboard. HATE IT. I hope there is a way to disable it. Even though yes I am not going to buy one. Interesting laptop, though as usual the Intel GPU is the gift that keeps on giving (lol). I agree with you, better get the other model.

Hey mathew i recently purchased loq with i5 12th gen and rtx 2050 it's good than any laptop
Can it run any of the latest games smoothly
@@SlaveOfAllah1000 not really. maybe on low settings.
@@zenpy_what low setting ?
@@shaunaktari12 the uploader made a comment saying that this laptop could run any AAA titles at max settings. He deleted this comment.
Thanks for video, but it’s sad that I ordered this today before I watched to this video. I took it for codding actually what do you think I will be regret?
Nope.
Dual channel RAM can increase performance though.
Absolutely!
Do you Guys know the Max Ram on the Loq1582xt 4050, mine has 16 but been thinking on 32 ddr5 5200mhz
You said you won't review many Windows laptops since it's only a cpu upgrade. Sorta like the Mac Book Air. 😊
Hey Matthew.
Why are there no real reviews of the new Lenovo Legion 7i Gen 9 (2024)?
Its already been release in some countries, but not much have been heard about it so far online. Is there a Review embargo on it?
When can we expect you to get to it?
The differences over last year's model aren't very meaningful, I guess that's why reviewers aren't that interested
No review embargo. I just haven't requested one to review. Most of the laptops coming out are identical to last years model minus the slight CPU change which is pretty much the same as last year. I think most reviewers are just not reviewing them because there is no point.
You can see by the price that it is not really an upgrade and that it is a sideways edition for 2024, a stop gap as the new architecture chips are not ready yet. I would say to anyone that does not need to upgrade at the moment that giving 2024 Windows laptops a miss will be a good sensible decision. Wait for the next-gen AMD, Intel Core Ultra, and Snapdragon X Elite.
I got this same laptop , but customised it with Rtx 3050 6gb gpu. Cost me 63.5k rupees(762usd,😢taxes) .only issue is the battery life is average
You never game on a gaming laptop without the charger. I honestly don't understand why people even mention the battery life, it's not a notebook.
Same from India too but it's a beast
Is 3050 sufficient to play game?
@@calphak7389 It's not great for laptop. Maybe expect 50-60fps average on lower settings on more demanding games.
@@exitoz1396 i currently have Geforce MX250. Is 3050 or even 2050 better than MX250?
How I Know the laptop is best one
Wait I thought it had RTX 2050?
i have the ir8h one its the last year one with the 3050 6gb and 8gb of ram it works good put in a second ssd for more storage i like the last year model more it seems better the new one seems cheaper built
The best tech reviewer.
Thanks for watching!
Im really confused if I should be getting a tuf series laptop.😮
The tuf models are better
tuf has better build quality.
excelente la compré por 885.79 USD en walmart rtx 4050 512 gb ssd. 8gb RAM DDR5, AMD Ryzen 7-7840HS
Y aun la recomendarías o no? Que tipo de juegos juegas en él?
Can anyone say how much time it will work
what do you mean by work?
When the Lenovo legion 7 2024 review coming out?
I dunno still contemplating on whether its worth reviewing it. Not much has changed
Why are people reviewing the intel Arc variant of this laptop, like it's a legitimate option that customers will be considering?
Exactly. RTX 2050 which is the next cheapest option and sometimes same price as ARC option is waay better.
Agreed you shouldn't be buying this for gaming, period.
Well I used it. With 32GB RAM. It's not bad.
The legion slim 5 2023 was on sale for 900$ most of the time since black friday
Which would be the best dollar for performance ratio
Problem is thats only in USA for the rest of us the prices are alot higher
Lenovo loq i5 13450hx or rog strix g15 ryzen 7 6800HS ?
No brainer bruh the ROG strix g15
@@georickcastillo4868 what about the processor bro ?
I have searched for more than 100 laptops under $750. There are no good options at all. And there is no combined category for student/productive and gamer. If you have experience with any, pls do reply
I have the Lenovo LOQ 15.6: Ryzen 7 7840HS, 8GB memory and NVIDA GeForce RTX 4050 6GB- 512 SSD. Storm Grey i got it for 699 on best buy when it was on sale its a good laptop.(2023 version) it goes on sale like every month ngl for 700 - 750 its a good deal ngl, off sale it cost $1,099.

Is it the 12Gb Ram one?@@shaunaktari12
@@shaunaktari12 do you recommende it ? I want to buy one for friend for his studies.
This lap top has given me stress it only takes an Ethernet cable. It had zero wireless connection.
And is windows 10 is good one
How much fps does it get in Fortnite? Would be happy if someone answered😊
somewhere 100+
i have last years slim 7 ryzen 7 7840hs rtx 4060, While im impressed with it im still having issues with the laptop freezing every now and then (with 32 gb ram) and problems with the laptop not powering on correctly from sleep/off. Ive spoken with lenovo support and theyve tried to fix it 3 times but it still comes up. Really embarrassing for lenovo as this is their top of the line gaming laptop
I have the same laptop, but no copilot key ... just old ctrl
Get the Nvidia version with 3050 6 gb they're relatively the same price
Intel is still new let them adjust the tech for another 2 years before considering buying it
nah if you're gonna buy the rtx 3050 6gb, go for the 4050 6gb instead, because of it's power efficiency, dlss, fg, and more power proof capability than the rtx 3050, it's not that much more expensive than the 3050
@@Meow-Meoooww sure, I recommended the 3050 because it's cheaper and the jump from Arc to 4050 is a bit high

I just got the LENOVO LOQ 15APH8 15.6" Gaming Laptop - AMD Ryzen™ 7, RTX 4060, 1 TB SSD
Not tried it out yet..but hopefully it will be decent
So how was it....?
Got the exact same and its my first laptop and its good. I can play valorent at like 300-500 fps. Display is nice too after changing to colour to 70% saturation using the intel control app.
Only complain is that the battery life is like 2 to 3 hrs only and the speakers are quite bad but usable. Also there's no dolby atmos. The rgb lighting was buggy initially but i think the software update fixed it and now it works very smoothly, the rgb lighting is bright and vibrant but its brighter when the ac is not plugged for some reason. The build of it also feels slick and quite premium. But the battery life issue is the main problem for me currently but i see that its a common problem among most gaming laptops. But for gaming its smooth and home use its very nice. The feature app is also very useful.
Bro did you face any issues with it
How is it and is the motherboard fine
When are you going to review one of the Kreative Devices laptops?
I've been waiting for that too
I feel like the copilot key single-handedly lowered the value of the laptop.
Really? I mean i use it ALOT more than the CTRL key. Im sure you'll be able to rebind it with third party software
@@MatthewMoniz I do agree that right CTRL was pretty useless, but why the Copilot key? It's incredibly under baked compared to ChatGPT and Gemini, to the point where the extra steps to access the more powerfuls AIs are easily worth it. Lenovo should've just made it a non-third party rebindable key.
@@ctrl_x1770 While I would just say if you won't use it and it's not necessary to, why bother complaining? On the other hand, the rebindable key would be really smart, I give you that.
@@iuhshwth1634 To be honest, I was just joking with my original comment about how useless copilot is.. I don't actually care too much about the copilot button. My bad though jokes don't carry too well over text
Guys please help me for this acer nitro 5 i9 12gen or Lenovo loq i7hx??
*Both have the same graphics card rtx4060 8GB
Get this one it can run all games a ps5 can
Go for lenovo but not hx mobo loq issues mostly are hx models and acers are meh most people who use warranty or fix their laptops are acers
Do you think good sRGB is a must for a gaming pc? Im thinking of buying a lenovo loq and has everything i want, which is hard to find for 999usd (4060 graphs, 13th gen, 16ram ddr5, 144hz) but im having a hard time because it only has 45% ntsc... I actually already bought it, but because of this i might cancel the order.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
I wonder what loq even stands for🤔
Low Overall Quality 😂😅
i literally have the same pc but with a 4050 rtx GPU and a i5 12450H CPU
I also have 24Go of ram for 650€
The reference is Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9
"Matthew Moniz" your all reviews are awesome
Which one is better Asus zephyrus g16 or Lenovo 14th generation
Which one did you pick?
Is the the LOQ (16" AMD) with RTX 4050 the same or worse?
I think same
“Feels durable” and yet you can literally see it warping as you lightly press on it
So with arc a530 this notebook is perfect dedicated streaming pc?
I fraking hate copilot or whatever name they give it, key on the keyboard. HATE IT. I hope there is a way to disable it. Even though yes I am not going to buy one.
Interesting laptop, though as usual the Intel GPU is the gift that keeps on giving (lol).
I agree with you, better get the other model.
your reviews made me buy a lenovo 3 years back.. not happy .. switched back to macbook air m1
I got the same CPU loq but a 3050
watching in lenevo loq 2024
For ne, it's just not worth getting the cheapest of gaming laptops. It's gotta be at least an asus g14, legion 5 slim/legion 7, etc.
