Lenovo LOQ 15

W WIRED Luke Larsen · reviewer

After testing dozens over the past year, the Lenovo LOQ 15 really stands out. While it is thick and fairly plain-looking, it delivers where it counts. While many budget gaming laptops only feature an entry-level Nvidia RTX 5050 GPU, the LOQ 15 pushes the performance further, delivering well over 60 fps in almost any game at Medium settings—and up to 113 fps in Cyberpunk 2077.

So, this is actually something you can realistically take to college or school, work, without feeling ridiculous. Now, that lid feels solid, the hinge is stable, and you don't get that cheap wobble when typing. And because this might be your only laptop, the build quality actually matters. Now, the keyboard is one of the more important parts of this machine.

If performance is what you care about, save your money and buy the LOQ 15. These games were tested without Nvidia's DLSS or ray tracing on, showing the raw performance of the system. While I wished it could get over 60 frames per second in games like Marvel Rivals and Monster Hunter Wilds at Ultra settings, I walked away impressed by the performance.

As I was saying about the design of the Lenovo LOQ, look, this is a fantastic-looking laptop, but it's equally well-built as far as value-oriented laptops go. I mean, Lenovo has included a metallic surface for the top lid over here, which is pretty standard in this class category. But the rest of the body might be made of plastic, but it's not the cheap kind of plastic.

The Lenovo LOQ 15 is an old-school 15.6-inch gaming laptop powered by present-day AMD and Nvidia silicon. Most gaming laptops have transitioned from 15.6-inch, 16:9 displays to taller, more modern 16-inch, 16:10 panels. But the LOQ 15 is helping to keep the widescreen tradition alive.

It's like having a performance coach that never takes a break. Now, let's talk about what you actually get in the box. The LOQ 15 6-in sports a clean, angular design with a brushed metal finish that screams gamer, but doesn't scream tryhard RGB. It's sleek, professional, and surprisingly subtle. Ideal if you're gaming at a cafe or in a shared space. The hinge is sturdy.

Understanding these compromises and, if necessary, doing a bit of “tweaking” (for example, by undervolting), the LOQ 15 becomes a very attractive platform for both gamers and students and beginner creators who want maximum performance for the least amount of money.

RTX 50-powered Lenovo LOQ 15 Gen 10 gaming laptop with 144 Hz display score.

I IGN Jon Martindale · reviewer

The Lenovo LOQ 15 AMD Gen 10 feels like an entry-level gaming laptop very much of its time. Its modest processor and GPU aren’t going to blow you away, but its hardware and overall design might just be what you need to get gaming at 1080p, without breaking the bank.

The new 2025 model has some nice improvements, but they’ve also made it worse in some ways, so let’s find out if it’s still worth buying in this review.
