What do you guys think of the Lenovo LOQ? Make sure to pick the right SKU!
where is speakers test? how it is?
@@rookietechie4120 no need for one they're not good
thanks@@MatthewMoniz
Speakers are good enough or try using speakers @@rookietechie4120
I'm looking at the i7 RTX4060 1TB model with 1440p which currently goes for $1250. Hoping to order in the next few days 😊
amongst the many reviewers who review only the most expensive razer blades, asus strix's and the macbooks. It's great you review the budget products for the regular folk and give us solid advice on what overrated hype to avoid :')
Thanks for another honest review Matt. I especially liked your recommendation at the end to purchase last year's model instead, very helpful advice.
Thanks Bryan I appreciate it!
got the Intel rtx version, added 1tb ssd and dual boot Linux. Ubutu runs pretty well on this device esp keyboard lights still works
It's awesome that it works with Linux
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 🤷🏻♂️
Sure bro LOQ in Malaysia starts at RM6k? Where to check?
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.
Same, the r7 4060 version of the 2024 loq is like 1350 dollats, 5.1million in local currency (COP)
I totally agree, there’s no reason to go with this spec over the Ryzen 7000/rtx 4050 model from last year.
Hi brother can u suggest me a best laptop for $1400-$1500 i7, better battery or rog strix g16 i713650hx is a good choice?
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?
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
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.
I agree because not only its not ridiculously expensive, but they do its job
Which one is better Asus zephyrus g16 or Lenovo 14th generation
Why are people reviewing the intel Arc variant of this laptop, like it's a legitimate option that customers will be considering?
I got the I7 , Ports on back playing up detecting pen drive randomly. Brand new so if any ideas.....
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....?
Asus came out with a couple interesting new 16" OLED laptops, the S5606 ($1099, Intel) and the M5606 ($999, AMD). Curious what you think of these.
Battery lasted 4h in intensive testing or regular use?
The label said it was an office work battery benchmark.
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 2024 model. I have had 0 issues so far. Purchased it in january so still pretty fresh out the box.
@@kanchankashyap4476 I have 2024 model. Purchased it around february this year. I have faced no issues so far, using it daily.
@@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
hyee, may i ask something, should i buy i9 14900hx 4060 or i7 13650hx 4070, i play games and some engineering editing❤️
Simply Buy the i9 one .
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
"Matthew Moniz" your all reviews are awesome
i got the intel arc one model with fully upgraded and student discount
Can it charge at 230W?
Loving my last year model Legion Pro 7i, Lenovo has been on roll over the past few years 🎉
which gpu
3:15 I am 100% Lenovo will ship out many LOQs with a shittier display with this being a review unit. Dell also did the same with G7
There's different version of the screen, there's the sRGB and the NTCS
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
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.
The best tech reviewer.
Thanks for watching!
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 the same laptop, but no copilot key ... just old ctrl
The quality build looks better than other budget laptops but the performance is kind of disappointing.
ya the build is great for a budget laptop but the gpu not so much
How about with a 4060
@@bruh-sc4oothere's no 4060 but 4050 and that's the one to buy, not the arc.
@@omarcortes5754 There is an RTX 4060 variant. They released one right after I bought the 4050 one. 😫
@@omarcortes5754 Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 14th Gen i7-14700HX RTX 4060 Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR6
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
This one bro I get over 100 fps in every game cod,cyber,hog I promise you will not regret this make sure u have 16 gb ram and m.2 ray tracing works great 60-90 fps with it on cyber
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.
What's the tgp of loq version of Intel 12450hx with 4060 one??
115 bro
@@jashw1292 do you have the varient
But in Lenovo psref site ,it shows 105w🙂
This SKU is 500 or 600 $ at best, take it or leave it lenovo. That price point probably would make more sense for this SKU.
In asia this is $1,000+
sad
Well you better get better deals caue it's not a full fat 4050 that's for sure.
When the Lenovo legion 7 2024 review coming out?
I dunno still contemplating on whether its worth reviewing it. Not much has changed
I wouldn't classify this computer in the gaming category at all, its graphics card is simply not for it, but if we look at it from the point of view that you need to buy a cheap computer for your child for school, this is an extremely good computer in that price category, it is certainly better than other computers in in that price range, which are not "gaming" but are like the "office and multimedia" category.
broski what
it has many variants, not just the intel arc version, it is meant for gaming but the intel arc variant is more on lightweight gaming and more on browsing, office and software/multimedia focus.. it has many variants of rtx 4000 series with 100% srgb so yes it is considered a gaming laptop with a multimedia quality as well.. you have a point but you're wrong
Im really confused if I should be getting a tuf series laptop.😮
The tuf models are better
I have this laptop but with an RTX 4050 GPU and 16GB RAM. It is a little bit more expensive, but I think it's worth it.
Tgp?and price ?
@@gskgaming1021 I live in Norway, here it’s $649
@@_sailor135That's great 👍
is it the i5 13450hx with 4050 105w?
@@Meow-Meoooww 👍
Wait I thought it had RTX 2050?
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?
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 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.
What's the weight?
5.3 pounds
When are you going to review one of the Kreative Devices laptops?
I've been waiting for that too
Dual channel RAM can increase performance though.
Absolutely!
Is the the LOQ (16" AMD) with RTX 4050 the same or worse?
I think same
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
So with arc a530 this notebook is perfect dedicated streaming pc?
This lap top has given me stress it only takes an Ethernet cable. It had zero wireless connection.
“Feels durable” and yet you can literally see it warping as you lightly press on it
fyi loq 15 i7 rtx 4060 just came out
can u pls compare it with the old version with rtx3050
Did you find an answer? Is 3050 enough to play games?
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
Lenogo Go or this...
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.
your reviews made me buy a lenovo 3 years back.. not happy .. switched back to macbook air m1
why is bro comparing a arc 530m to an rtx 4070 💀
I agree that computer does not makes since.
I hate that they artifically crippled mid tier Legion 5 compared to higher 5 PRO and lower LOQ.
Legion 5 this year has worst placed ports, absolutely worst design for no reason etc.
👍 👍 👍 3:43
🎉
Hmmmm
Copilot button is 👎
I liked it until the “Co-pilot button” no thanks
Ya it’s going to be on a lot of laptops. I’m cool with it. It replaces the right ctrl key which I imagine most people don’t use.
@@MatthewMoniz can you remap the copilot button ?
तुमने खुद गलत spec वाला laptop खरीदा है। (U r the one who bought the wrong spec LOQ 2024, buy i7 14700HX with RTX 4070.
With that price and spec you should buy the legion series or go for Asus ROG laptop line
Buy this and spend every day you own it wishing you'd just spent another $100-$200 on something better.
it's mean you're not doing enough research of what you need or want 🤭
Why? Can you tell me what happened
WHY would you replace a control key with a fucking AI key. fuck AI dude. I'm so sick of the endless march of capitalism.
This gpu is near 3050
Choosing beween this lenovo and dream machines RT4050-17EU25. Anyone ?
Far better solution RT4050-17EU25
Which one is better Asus zephyrus g16 or Lenovo 14th generation
Definitely zephyrus g16
