The Lenovo LOQ's display is very solid for a $1,100 gaming laptop, and very solid for a $650 gaming laptop. The 15.6-inch LCD screen features a 144Hz refresh rate and Nvidia's G-Sync adaptive frame rate technology. It has the full 100% standard RGB color gamut, which isn't usually found in gaming laptops at this price point. It offers 300 nits of brightness and has an anti-glare coating.
The GeForce RTX 5050 GPU is an entry-level graphics card—at least compared to the rest of Nvidia's 50-series lineup. It offers a decent improvement over the RTX 4050, but not quite as much as the RTX 4060. Don't expect to play the latest AAA games at high settings, but thanks to the DLSS upgrade you can play many at 1080p at 60fps. If you want to connect your laptop to a monitor for 1440p or 4K gaming, you'll need to look elsewhere; the 5050 is only good for 1080p.
The Intel Core i5-13450HX is an entry-level processor with 10 CPU cores and 16 threads. Its base clock speed is 3.4GHz, which can be boosted to 4.6GHz.
Like most gaming laptops that retail for around $1,000, the Lenovo LOQ comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM. It has two memory slots that are upgradeable to 32GB (16GB per slot).
For PC gaming, 512GB of storage really isn't a lot of space these days, especially if you play a lot of AAA games and online multiplayer games that are frequently updated.
