The first line of LOQ gaming PCs includes two laptops and one desktop. LOQ 15 and 16 are equipped with AMD processors, and LOQ 15i and 16i are equipped with Intel processors. Even though it’s a mid-priced product family, it’s a must-have spec of high-performance hardware. You can choose an Nvidia RTX 4060 GPU with up to a Ryzen 7 7840H or Core i7 13700H CPU. There are no models with AMD GPUs. Memory can also be up to 16GB DDR5, storage can be equipped with 1TB 4th generation SSD.
The design of the laptop has inspired the Legion family a lot. The dark gray body, straight, thick hinges, and various rear ports come in handy when expanding into a desktop environment. There’s an Ethernet, HDMI, and two USB-A ports, along with a USB-A and USB-C port on the side. It can charge up to 140 watts via USB-C, but a dedicated charger is faster. Plus, it’s equipped with Lenovo’s signature privacy shutter and a 1440p 165Hz display.
Pricing starts at $900 for the 15-inch model and $960 for the 16-inch model, with the first units expected to ship in April.
The first desktop product is the LOQ Tower 17i, the model name referring to the capacity of the case. Lenovo pitches its LOQ Tower product as an entry-level system with plenty of room for future expansion. The design features interesting lighting applied to the vertically positioned front air intakes.
Internal specifications can go up to Intel Core i7-13700 processor, Nvidia RTX 40-series GPU, 32GB DDR4 memory and 1TB M.2 SSD. It has a structure that can be opened without tools and takes support Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. Pricing starts at $980, and it isn’t expected to be available until this fall.
