Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Lenovo’s LOQ Laptops Hands-On: The New Budget Gaming Leader?”.
If there’s one thing, I love more than being at a funky cocktail, lounge, it’s being at one where there’s a bunch of cool new laptops and if I left something more than that, it’s having gaming laptops and if there’s something I love more than a new gaming Laptop it’s a new budget gaming laptop in fact. Sometimes a new budget gaming laptop, is so interesting. They should just make up an entirely new product line for it, and that is what is happening right here. This is the Lenovo lock loq, which is different than lenovo’s Legion line, which is their mainstream gaming line. The lock line has a lot of the same stuff, but is more budget oriented, which is frankly something everybody is looking for these days.
It brings in a lot of the Legion DNA, but not everything. For example, the gpus only go up to an Nvidia RTX 4060. That’S the top end, whereas a more fancy gaming laptop that would kind of be almost the starting point and the keyboard lighting it’s Zone. It’S not per key, but other than that.
This really does look and feel a lot like the regular Legion line, which I like a lot much like that Legion line you’re going to find a lot of ports and connections on the back a few on the sides. I do appreciate that modern gaming laptops, not just this one, even though they usually use their own proprietary power connectors, can also charge through USBC. That’S going to take longer. Obviously, if you want to get it ready to run the GPU and play games, but I do appreciate having that option.
So the lock loq is going to be available in 15 and 16 inch sizes and it’s going to be AMD flavors and Intel flavors, and actually both of them are going to start at 900 you’re going to have to pay a little bit more to get that Rtx 4080, like I have in this version right here, and they go up to 16 gigs of RAM and 32 gigabytes of storage. But again, all those upgrades are going to cost extra if you’re trying to figure out whether you should get the 15-inch model, the 16 inch model, because they’re obviously very close. The 16 inch is a 16 by 10 aspect ratio. The 15 inch is a 16×9 aspect ratio. Both of them, however, go up to 165 Hertz. So that’s a little bit more than you would get in. Just the you know, lowest end of budget gaming laptops, the various sizes and configurations 15 inch 16 inch AMD Intel, they’re coming out on a rolling basis, starting in April, and some models in May and some in June, and they start both on the Intel side and The AMD side at 900 .
