Just that ssd run a bit hot, maybe because of the small form factor. The performance is top notch. Keyboard has got little bit tactile feedback. No screen wobble. Nice touch pad. And sound is also amazing. If you going to use this laptop in a room, the sound will feel very loud.

@nguyenanghung2982 so mine is actually slightly different from the video, I have the LOQ 15ARP9 with Ryzen 7 7435HS and RTX 4060. Bought it online, picked up in store. I like it a lot though, it's fast, runs my game great, and stays cool. Of course I have to keep it plugged in cuz the battery drains very fast during gaming. I'm happy with it overall.
this is the best and most detail review, i have the same amd r7 8845hs loq series but with rtx 4050 and the performance is pretty damn good for the price. i really love this laptop
I wanted a review on this laptop, and you delivered. This is one of the very "eyed" skus. Thanks for understanding the budget gamers and their needs. Loved the review, would love a comparison on loq, legion 5 models. Just an improvement on lighting & a top cam may help a bit man (from a review admirer). Highly appreciated!
This laptop is essentially built in the Gen 5/Gen 6 Legion body. Same screen 1080p 144hz. I have a Legion 7 with the same screen, 2020 model i believe. 10750h/2070super. Looks awfully similar from an exterior perspective. This definitely has better internals.

It's crazy how far the 50 series of Nvidia graphics cards have come. I've had this laptop for about 3 months now and boy does it eat for 1080p Max settings. I got it from Bestbuy open box for 599 as well such a steal for all its worth.
Acabo de pedirla y vine a ver reviews y eres el unico que lo hizo a detalle, es mas me vi todos los anuncios completos :) Yo pedí la de RTX 4050 por $900
Que onda Kevin, ando queriendo ver de comprar la misma pero estoy con dudas y necesito feedback, que tal esta, como se siente? tuviste algun problema al usarla? Muchas gracias

For the LOQ 15AHP9 model without an OS and an RTX 4050, does the keyboard have colored LEDs as zones n the keyboard, or is it fully addressable RGB? The pictures say nothing about it and I couldn't find many reviews for it.
Hello great video! It helped me so much! I just have a question..Do you know why some of loq 15 gen 9 have the blue heatsinks on the back but others don't? Is there any pattern that lenovo did? Thank you
Hi! Just wanna ask since im planning to buy this model. I love this laptop however what keeps me from buying it is because i keep on seeing motherboard issues about it. What are your thoughts about it?
Beau, maybe you could make a video which shows, is it possible to boost graphic performance by using the RX 780M iGPU somehow as addition to the RTX 4060? So far i know, you can set a physic processor in Nvidias Control panel and choose under "Configure Surround PhysX" the RX 780M instead of RTX 4060, does it make a difference? Also does lenovo makes it possible to set vram of the iGPU?
@@TechGuyBeau Sir whats your take on the lenovo LOQ 2024 with Ryzen 7 7435hs processor? Paired with 4050-4060 gpu. It was recenly launched in India, maybe if you could shed us some details about it here or shorts! Would really appreciate it.
wow man you are so underated , such a good review and now im convinced that im going to buy this btw im going for btech cs, and im going to buy this laptop for whatever im gonna do at collage and also for gaming, is this a good decision ?
Edit: I ended up getting the Legion Pro 7i Gen8 in September. Yep. This sealed it. I'm getting it as soon as i can. The high CPU temperstures are a bit concerning but with tweaking on Lenovo app it can be reduced.
Hi. Over here in UK, you can get a LOQ 15 with the brand new AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD & a 4060 GPU for the stupidly low price of £690. The catch, such as it is, is that the 7435HS has no iGPU. My laptops spend almost all of the time plugged into a wall socket & only really ever get used for gaming. Do you see any problems with me getting one?? FYI, the 7435HS is a slightly downclocked, Zen 3+ based Ryzen 7 7735H (but without any iGPU). I would have thought this would be more than adequate for most games. Any thoughts??
Thanks for this very informative video! Because i would like this laptop. Can you please tell me the name of that benchmark tool you use ingame at the end of your video? And which keyboard combination did you use ingame to go through the energy modes? Thank you! :)
Hi, i just got the 2023 version with i7-1365HX 4060. And realised that there is with i7-14700HX 2024. I got it for £300 cheaper than the 2024 version. Would you recommend returning and getting the 24 one?
Im considering this now as theres a sale on, for £90 more it comes with an OS (windows) would you suggest i do that or buy separately... I wouldnt want to miss out on the lenovo battery apps etc
Ya I bought this model this month. But, the battery only lasts for 3-4Hr max. Everything else of this laptop is good for its budget. And when u turn on the rapid charge mode sometimes the battery temperature increases in balanced or quite mode, but if u need it to cool down just set the thermal mode to custom and only set the fan speed to full.
Can you do a comparison between all the legion and loq laptops you have? They all seem very similar with minor price differences especially when on sale.
This laptop has a 1440p version with 4060 and 8845hs, so I don't think there's any need to get a legion over this. Because the difference is in display and build quality, Legion has HDR display and somewhat better build. No need to spend extra money on legion even if it's 4070 version because GPU performance difference doesn't justify the price gap
Thanks for the review. Curious what you would choose between this one for $1050CAD all-in or the legion 5 slim gen 9 with 4070 for $1600CAD all-in. Seems like a big price jump for slightly better specs and nicer screen.
@@TechGuyBeau I don’t see the 1440p version on their site. Was going to use the business version because they have a $100 off coupon. Maybe it’s on the regular version of the site.
I am planning to buy this Laptop and I configured the laptop (Lenovo India Official Website) to AMD 8845HS, 16 GB SODIMM, 1TB TLC SSD, 15.6" WQHD IPS (350 Nits, 100% sRGB) Display, 4060 8GB, 4 Zone RGB KB, 1080p HD Cam with Dual Mic, 230W Slim Power Brick, 3 Year Accidental Damage protection + 3 Year Premium Onsite service, Carry Bag and with this config, I can buy the Laptop for INR 93,800 (~CAD 1530). What is your opinion???? Can I go for it or any other alternatives?? Anyway, Excellent Review. Kudos to your effort
@@lokix7642 You can, it's available under LOQ Ryzen 7 configurable model in Lenovo India website. Only one Ryzen 7 LOQ model is configurable and the option to upgrade display is available. Please check.
I bought the same laptop with the specs I mentioned above. Then upgraded to 32 GB (16Gb Crucial 5600 ) + 2TB (1 TB WD Black SN850X Gaming SSD). The 2K 350 NITS display is excellent at this price point and I am getting over 100 FPS in Forza Horizon 5 with Ultra settings and 2K res. Around 120 -130 in GTA V. Max temp over 1 hr gameplay is around 77_78°. Very much satisfied with this. Only downside is the lower battery ( it has space to accommodate an 80wh battery but I didn't see any guides on that upgrade) and the audio. It's ok-ish but not great for louder environments. We have to keep in mind that it's a budget gaming PC and it's really worth for the amount we spent.
this loq costs 1350dollars and legion slim 5 with same specs costs 1650 dollars. which one should i get for gaming,editing,coding,3d modeling?? is it worth paying 1650 for slim 5??
Hey users of this model, how is the battery life in heavy office use? I'd need this to mostly code (meaning 1-2 code editors open, one of them is on hot-reload, about 15 browser tabs open) when it's on battery and I wonder if it can go for 4 hours at least. Thanks in-advance!
Hey man awesome review! I am seconds away from buying this model with RTX 4060, but I am not sure if upgrading to ryzen 7 is worth the 60£ difference. I saw a few videos of people doing benchmarks with 4060 and ryzen 5 without resulting in a bottleneck, but I would really appreciate your opinion on this.
thank you i wanted to get a new gaming laptop as mine sounds like a jet plane while playing the sims 4 ect plus the screen is on the blink plus i needed to make sure i could upgrade the ram thank you
Should I buy Lenovo loq gen 9 ( LENOVO LOG ARP9 ) with rtx 4050 6gb and ryzen 7 7435hs and 24Gb ram 512 gb at 80k ? Also consider the motherboard dead issue in Intel hx processors Should I buy ryzen ? Or go with another laptop ?
@@TechGuyBeau Good point It was 1080p but I went for the 2024 model same spec £1022 from Lenovo website with £25 rewards that I’ll spend on a rucksack.
@@TechGuyBeau 16 inch screen 100 srgb, 16 gigs of ram DDR4, 4060 Gpu 115 W, 512 storage, metal construction, glass touchpad, I need a laptop for gaming but also for my classes, I study graphic design
Would you recommend this laptop for college students? Like carrying it around, using it in library or in a classrooms. I was thinking about buying it, but it might be too heavy and big for me.
It’s fairly big but it’s not super heavy. If you need the power sure, otherwise perhaps consider a Lenovo Ideapad pro with an etc 3050 6gb. Still very capable and much sleeker
Get the LOQ it has two m.2 slot Omen speakers are slightly better. But there is no second m.2 slot in omen in case you want to upgrade storage. Also check if omen have 100% sRGB display. In LOQ you can customise many parts. 8845HS is better it also have NPU for running AI tasks.
will ideapad pro 5 with ryzen 7 8845hs and rtx 4050 would be a good option rather than a loq with i7 13th gen with rtx 4050 the actual thing i will play some games but not as a hardcore gamer rather less than that i actually will use it for coding and the ideapad will show a better battery backup with 84whr and these two have a price difference of 100 dollars in our country i am actually confused
Amazing video man 👏🏼 Just wanted to ask which do u think is better This laptop but with WQHD (2560*1440) 350 nits or the lenovo legion 5i ( i7 14650HX and rtx 4060) u previously reviewed ? Note : they are both the same price
Well it depends. The AMD has the better CPU, and better battery life. The legion has somewhat better cooling If you don’t really care about battery life or cpu heat the legion should have slightly better performance. If battery life and cpu temps matter get the LOQ
@@TechGuyBeauthanks man for the response 🫶🏼 I just have another question How long does the battery last on legion 5i ? And how long does it last on the loq ?
@@TechGuyBeau Here in India, currently lenovo legion slim 5 gen 8 is 1345 usd, which on sale can come down to 1200 usd. And this customized loq gen 9 with 1440 screen 4060 is 1030 usd. (Both without adp, additional 36$ for adp). Which one should I choose?
@@Vinay-xd5mm At least in my place, the price difference is about 150 euros. With Legion you would get same GPU, but higher CPU (8845HS over 8645HS), 80wh battery, better screen, and larger fans. Also more premium build quality.
@@lokix7642 yeah.. in the philippines (believe same model) it has qhd variation. isnt it the same for other countries? just wanted to know issues like loq motherboard stuff.
Hey man I am from different country (india) and it's coming with same specs just with 1440p and 100% sRGB and 165hz at price around 100k (INR) Is it worth it?

this loq costs 1350dollars and legion slim 5 with same specs costs 1650 dollars. which one should i get for gaming,editing,coding,3d modeling?? is it worth paying 1650 for slim 5??
Hey users of this model, how is the battery life in heavy office use? I'd need this to mostly code (meaning 1-2 code editors open, one of them is on hot-reload, about 15 browser tabs open) when it's on battery and I wonder if it can go for 4 hours at least. Thanks in-advance!
Good review!
how much battery difference can i expect with 1440 p screen
Hey man awesome review! I am seconds away from buying this model with RTX 4060, but I am not sure if upgrading to ryzen 7 is worth the 60£ difference. I saw a few videos of people doing benchmarks with 4060 and ryzen 5 without resulting in a bottleneck, but I would really appreciate your opinion on this.
The CPU won’t bottleneck realistically. Get whoever you can afford
Best wishes❤
thank you i wanted to get a new gaming laptop as mine sounds like a jet plane while playing the sims 4 ect plus the screen is on the blink plus i needed to make sure i could upgrade the ram thank you
Should I buy Lenovo loq gen 9 ( LENOVO LOG ARP9 ) with rtx 4050 6gb and ryzen 7 7435hs and 24Gb ram 512 gb at 80k ?
Also consider the motherboard dead issue in Intel hx processors
Should I buy ryzen ? Or go with another laptop ?
Same doubt for me 😔
@@ganeshvsg4744 no one replied 😔
But I decided , i will buy this in next week
I will suggest you ARP9 it’s very good especially if you go with ryzen 7 and RTX 4060.
@@sun3023-e5j it is out of my budget 😅 therefore I'm going with rtx 4050 😅
For Lenovo LOQ RTX 4060 which is better? Ryzen 7 8845HS or Core i7 13650HX Edition?
AMD
will this be good for graphic design especially adobe PS and illustrator?
Could you provide the test results for the 8645 and rtx 3050 version.
Looking to purchase today but I can get the 2023 model £60 cheaper. Which one would you go for thank you
Is the screen the same?
@@TechGuyBeau Good point It was 1080p but I went for the 2024 model same spec £1022 from Lenovo website with £25 rewards that I’ll spend on a rucksack.
Is this better than the Legion 5 15ARP8? Its been tough finding reviews on either.
I am between this laptop and the asus zephyrus g16 from 2023 with the intel i7 13620H, which one is the best choice?
Other specs? Screen? Etc
@@TechGuyBeau 16 inch screen 100 srgb, 16 gigs of ram DDR4, 4060 Gpu 115 W, 512 storage, metal construction, glass touchpad, I need a laptop for gaming but also for my classes, I study graphic design
What’s the pixel response time on the display?
Would you recommend this laptop for college students? Like carrying it around, using it in library or in a classrooms. I was thinking about buying it, but it might be too heavy and big for me.
It’s fairly big but it’s not super heavy. If you need the power sure, otherwise perhaps consider a Lenovo Ideapad pro with an etc 3050 6gb. Still very capable and much sleeker
@@TechGuyBeau Thank you, and btw ur content is great
Lenovo loq 15 r7 8845hs 4060 or
Hp Omen 16 r7 7840hs rtx 4060.
Which one is better in overall aspect.(Almost same price in india)
Get the LOQ it has two m.2 slot Omen speakers are slightly better. But there is no second m.2 slot in omen in case you want to upgrade storage.
Also check if omen have 100% sRGB display. In LOQ you can customise many parts.
8845HS is better it also have NPU for running AI tasks.
Could you also share some idea how the WQHD screen could perform on the color side
We don’t have this in Canada unfortunately
Hello from Ukraine!🤝 😉 🇺🇦
Thank you very much for your incredible content!🙏
Wow, You described everything to the smallest details😮
will ideapad pro 5 with ryzen 7 8845hs and rtx 4050 would be a good option rather than a loq with i7 13th gen with rtx 4050 the actual thing i will play some games but not as a hardcore gamer rather less than that i actually will use it for coding and the ideapad will show a better battery backup with 84whr and these two have a price difference of 100 dollars in our country i am actually confused
What brand is the ram module and at what frequency?
We need a cyberpunk game test, of that a valid slection
Amazing video man 👏🏼
Just wanted to ask which do u think is better
This laptop but with WQHD (2560*1440) 350 nits or the lenovo legion 5i ( i7 14650HX and rtx 4060) u previously reviewed ?
Note : they are both the same price
Well it depends.
The AMD has the better CPU, and better battery life.
The legion has somewhat better cooling
If you don’t really care about battery life or cpu heat the legion should have slightly better performance.
If battery life and cpu temps matter get the LOQ
@@TechGuyBeauthanks man for the response 🫶🏼
I just have another question
How long does the battery last on legion 5i ?
And how long does it last on the loq ?
Hi, I get it, but the screen look yellowish and the night mode is not active, is normal?
how do you change to silent mode, balance mode ? i mean any shortcut keys?
@TechGuyBeau , would you recommend this LOQ over Lenovo slim 5 (2023) ?
Depends on the price
@@TechGuyBeau Here in India, currently lenovo legion slim 5 gen 8 is 1345 usd, which on sale can come down to 1200 usd. And this customized loq gen 9 with 1440 screen 4060 is 1030 usd. (Both without adp, additional 36$ for adp). Which one should I choose?
@@Vinay-xd5mm At least in my place, the price difference is about 150 euros. With Legion you would get same GPU, but higher CPU (8845HS over 8645HS), 80wh battery, better screen, and larger fans. Also more premium build quality.
@@Giedriukas3 I was saying about legion slim 5 gen 8 which has 7840hs (2033 model)
Do you think this would be a good laptop for college? How much would the battery last with medium use?
It’s AMD so the battery will be pretty good. Check out my benchmark section.
Also yes it’s good for university
should i get this? wanna get the qhd and rtx 4060 configurations, including R7 8845HS
This isn't qhd tho
@@lokix7642 yeah.. in the philippines (believe same model) it has qhd variation. isnt it the same for other countries? just wanted to know issues like loq motherboard stuff.
@@Aquaticarroww The motherboard issues is with the Intel hx model mostly.. didn't hear a motherboard issues with AMD
Does it have mux
Hey man I am from different country (india) and it's coming with same specs just with 1440p and 100% sRGB and 165hz at price around 100k (INR)
Is it worth it?
Yes, but some are saying it has motherboard and performance defects

8845hs loq or 13650hx loq? Can you tell me which one should i choose? The price is almost same
If you need it solely for gaming, then go with i7 or you want it to do daily tasks with more battery savings then you should go with ryzen 7
@@hyperion.8732 I won't be gaming heavily in it and my main usage is going to be coding and maybe video editing so I should go with amd?
AMD for sure dude. It’s a better CPU in all regards. Battery life, real world performance. Etc
@@TechGuyBeau alright then I will get amd :)
Thanks
are the storage slots both PCIE 4.0?
How is its comparision with the legion slim 5 gen9
So is this the LOQ 15AHP9?
The site says upgradable to 1tb but can i upgrade it to 2tb or 4tb ssd?
You can put at least 2 x 4tb
Sry but i dont understand what u mean at 7.25min with the double ? Nviadia?? I would like to know what we can upgrade there?
Nvme not nvidia
Hi, nice video.
I was searching for a review of this laptop, i want to know how good is the battery autonomy for general use like studying. Cause i read that this laptop with intel cpu, only gets 2 hours of battery life. Thank you
You’ll get similar to what I got at idle. Mild browsing of a pdf for example won’t really increase batter drain much
