Lenovo is honestly the only brand that I can trust when it comes to a budget gaming laptop; mostly because of its reliability, durability and cooling. I've had MSI budget laptops, HP Victus, Dell G15, ASUS TUFF laptops...but Lenovo is the only one that didn't give me any issues after the 1st year.
I don't think you should own a laptop. Maybe if you did your research and took the time to update drivers and BIOS regularly you wouldn't have any issues with any OEM.
@@mikejames6588 True but as msi user and i test some of laptop such as tuf,acer and hp and all i can tell wise performance are lenovo every other type of them have bad airflow and it bett on performance 2
@@mikejames6588you can’t completely disagree with him, many laptop manufacturers have issues. Never owned a Lenovo but from what I’ve heard, it seems to have almost bulletproof reliability. But I also see your point as I have an asus tuf going two and a half years strong. I’ve done regular maintenance and always update so maybe that’s why it’s lasted me this long.
@@mikejames6588sadly it isn't always the case that an update would solve the issue(s).
Bought a lenovo ideapad gaming 3 back in 2022 january ,still is great condition
Upgradability is always a must for me.
Just ordered mine with 1 tb SSD and 16 gb ram Can’t wait
Great video! How long should first charge be? Thanks in advance.
Can a laptop factory seal of the box get cut in airport? Is this word can be true or wrong because i bought a laptop in name of brand new
its really depend on which games you trying to play, some people can buy one laptop every year, but most people buy every 4-5 years in average, so I think putting extra 100 -150 bucks for longevity on a better quality product is needed and smarter investment
does your discount work on uk store?
hey got that laptop for my brother i saw people were doing tests on hybrid mode so it switches automaticly for game? or i should leave on dgpu mode always ? im confused
depends on your requirement, if you think you ca manage with higher electricity bill keep the dgpu turned on
I bought this because I was using a Lenovo yoga with a gtx 1060, 4K display, i7 processor. It's a great laptop but can't handle games today, I'm very happy with the loq i7 4050
can i connect this laptop to a monitor?
my laptop's colour has started to fade very quickly at the plam area and trackpad
Should I buy this or the legion 5 15arp8? I think the 15arp8 have better build quality(I’m an architecture student) Need help
What do you want out of your laptop? Do you game? Do you just use it for work? Video editing? Streaming movies?
@@Lead1121 For 3d renderings, Cadd works, Photoshop and some Video editing
Does it use the a similar charger port that came with the legion Y540? If it does, is the charger port soldered to the mother board?
Asking because I had a Y540 and the charger port stopped working 2 years in. The port was soldered to the motherboard, so if it gets spoiled, lenovo charges for a motherboard replacement to fix it. Speaking from experience and fell free to google, it is a very common problem.
Lenovo the best ❤
Def wait for deals to come around. This laptop was on sale a few weeks back for $650.
Yea I bought one around that time it’s was like 750 from Best Buy I haven’t touched my steam deck since
Literally just bought one at Best Buy for $650
I just bought it 5 minutes ago for 650 after tax :)
Which model and specs@@Anthony-kp7sf
Nice ❤
does this laptop have severe ghosting? the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 i just got has it and its terrible.
Same problem for me. ought this a month ago and got it delivered home , now when I am actually using it I see massive screen ghosting problems.
What do you mean by screen ghosting? I dont familiar with that problem? Is it like milisecond lag like your mouse jump at one place to the others?
@@Davorta go google testufo and then go to ghosting test in the top right drop down menu. Full screen the web page. Bad ghosting is when the ufo leaves behind a blur so bad you cant see the ufo's detail at all.
on what refresh rate
Hello, thank you for the information you shared. I am thinking of buying the 32 GB RAM version of this computer and I am wondering if it will meet my needs in large-scale projects using AutoCAD and Lumion. Would be glad if you could answer.
Hello, I’m an architecture student that just got this laptop. I upgraded its CPU to an i7 with a 4060 8GB GPU to better handle Lumion through the website, but with only 16GB RAM. So far my workflow has been smooth from handling 3D views on Revit and then rendering on Lumion. Hope this helps.
Honestly the smart option would be to buy a lower spec version and then upgrade the ram yourself for cheaper
Would you recommend this laptop if I'm looking to buy a 4060 laptop today?
For sure
im watching this vedio from this laptop its great for the price i have a 100 percent srgb wqgx display and got it for almst 1060 dollars great in playing games and all waiting for your review
Does it have screen bleed issue?
@@satishm5260no
is there an option to add another SSD?
yeap, there is one 2242 m.2 slot and one full size 2280 m.2 slot
Can I upgrade storage more then 2tb
You can try
bro loq got the new gen 14 refresh and u publishing this video rn?😂
What is the difference between Idea Pad Gaming and loq series?
Loq is newer, comes with a mux switch and has an extra usb 2.0 port
It actually looks like the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3
uses the same shell as the IdeaPad gaming
if you paint the heat pipe this will damage a bit of the dissipation
Lenovo is my first gaming laptop and will be my last. I have the legion 5. Best purchase I've ever made
They are on their game right now.
is it expandable to 16 16 gb ram ?
yes it can , i own exact same model , ive upgraded to 16GB RAM and 1TB ssd.
@@MrL961I think Rahul meant 2x 16 GB. Well 32 GB total
yeah that also can actually , when i want to upgrade the ram , the seller ask me if i want to upgrade to 32 which kinda overkill for my usage and im on tight budget too but yeah you can upgrade to 32 GB RAM.@@Oeamix
I just upgraded mine to 32g and a 2tb nvme.
Lenovo's budget gaming laptops all have a flimsy screen for some reason. I don't like the plastic that they use for their tops, and their hinge design is poor and creates a lot of flex in the middle. The plastic itself is not very durable or thick, and is prone to cracking. This is a shame, because the bottom deck design has been excellent, especially the rubberized-feel material that they use for the palm rest. If Lenovo could get their stuff together and make their tops more rugged, they'd have a much better product.
Looks completely the same to Ideapad gaming 3
wheres the gameplay ?
Never buy a laptop with miniLEDs 1000 or 2000 dimming. Only if they have 11000 dimming.
yeah it's the old one
Is its ram upgradable?
@@satishm5260 @makingtechfriendlyindia will cover that. I just like to timepass
@@satishm5260yes
Nice another budget laptop out of my budget 🤣🤣
😅
I recently bought one of these for GBP 999.00 it has an R7 7840HS, 16gb of RAM, RTX 4060 and a 1 TB hard drive.
This is the only price point i could find the R7 7840HS last month when i bought it. All other laptops were at least 400 pounds more.
The reviews were all saying it was cheap and plastic. I feel like they were all over exaggerating, it is plastic but its absolutely fine (and my last laptop had a metal case)
All in all a very fast, very nice laptop and i think great value for the uk market
but theyre right, looks really cheap plastic, especially the lower frame bezel looks so cheap and wide
@@Summer-vu5kw there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, you're nitpicking.
The bottom bezel is wide, yes. I noticed it for 5 minutes when it was new, I don't notice it anymore, even less when I am engrossed with what's on screen.
@@Summer-vu5kwwith a 4060 and a ryzen 7 I wouldnt care if it was made out of cardboard 😂
I bought this laptop. Unfortunately, it died after 2 months 🥲
Why
@@darksoul1056 It was probably a hardware issue. So, returned it.
still calling Legion LOQ 😂
I know! It’s a bad habit I gotta kick
@@BenGKaiser are you gonna bench mark it anytime soon?
I work as a technician in a repair center and I've gotta say this is one of the worst Lenovo laptops I've ever come across as a repair man
The build quality is very bad
And a common problem these models have is a defective USB 2.0 controller.
After 2~3 months of use it no longer recognizes USB 2.0 devices (mouse or keyboard).
Nice to know
thanks
What an ugly 2010s kind of design! I'd like one though, because I have owned 2 ASUS TUF gaming laptops and they are not up for the task. The latest one last 4 months before it broke. Sent it in for repairs 8 months ago... still waiting.
Budget plastic ! 750 euro ??? This is budget gaming laptop ? Dude let's be serious , 750 is budget laptop for you ???
... pfff This laptop is 100 % plastic ! you pay 750 euro for plastic !
What price would be considered budget? From what I see it depends on the gpu, cpu, and screen size which makes it cost more or less
