Great review 👍🏻 love me some good vocals
you got a great voice bro! thanks for the video
The laptop in the video is likely a preproduction unit - the battery lacks any markings, and the cooler assembly is different (production units have much more blue color). The right sided USB port is actually SuperSpeed-capable on production LOQs, at least the ones sold in Europe.
Great reviews! Thanks
Thank you boss for the review i am going to buy it soon.
Been waiting for this laptop review. ❤❤
Glad this helps
good job man
Great job. Nice singing!
thanks brother! Feel free to watch our Helios 18 punboxing too!
Got the Lenovo LOQ 15 Ryzen 7 7840HS yesterday for $699.99. Lenovo said it can take up to 32gb of RAM. But I read on some forums that it can work with 64gb. I got 2 32gb 4800MHz in there and it works fine. So, I have 64gb of RAM. I also added a 2TB NVME SSD to the 512gb that comes with the laptop (it has 2 slots). Nice deal from Best Buy. The best laptop for the money.
Can you share the ram & SSD link you bought
The 32GB is probably the highest that they offer. If u can find 32GB sticks that are compatible, they should work.
@@MOBHouse yessir. I got two 32gb sticks 4800MHz and the laptop is great with 64gb of RAM. 👌
Bro what about heating and thermals
And battery performa backup

Best review ever!
Thanks man
Great review, very informative but more importantly....This dude sings some killer opera out of freakin nowhere!!
haha thanks mate! just wanted to spice things up a lil
Best review ever, a free concert XD
what program do you use to edit your videos? great job!
Hello, I want to ask you a question, if you please, how was your experience with the lenovo loq device, I am looking forward to buying it and I did not find reviews in my country, so I wanted to ask you, are there any negatives in the device, thank you
If you're already used to playing games at 60+ fps, this laptop isn't anything special, but for me, it was quite an upgrade over my previous laptop. The gaming experience simply blew me away, I could finally crank every setting to max, without needing to worry about a stable 60+ fps framerate. Games like CS2, or Overwatch ran buttery smooth, maintaining over 120 fps all the time, and running more demanding story focused games wasn't an issue either. The best thing is it all comes with a very reasonable price tag, and the build quality feels way better than other budget laptops. I would definitely recommend it as a first gaming laptop with the following specs: i7-13620h, RTX 4060 and 32 gigs of ram
thanks a lot for the review! i’ve been looking around for a gaming laptop to replace my old acer nitro 5, and for the price lenovo offers (with student discount) nothing comes close
i chose the i5-12450h, rtx 4060, 16gb ram, 512gb storage and 1440p 165hz display configuration, for only 4800!!
Great value!
Excelente video felicidades, a pesar de que lo ví con subtitulos me resultó muy útil toda la información. 👌🏻
Gracias my friend
Getting it next month lets go
Me tooooo
Крутой обзор! Сделать тест замеров шума, без записи самого шума.
awesome video and nice singing! I agree with everything. There is a 16" version with the 16:10 ratio, so that's one thing fixed. But I'm really considering not buying this laptop because the blue accents. I just want full stealth black; I don't want non-gamers to know that I'm a gamer and have them judge me :S
thanks man! right? of all colours, why blue?
not just any blue.............light grandma pantys blue.
@@MOBHouse
Good video bro
Thanks bro! Appreciate it
Great review! Would you recommend for the same price the lenovo loq qhd/rtx 4060/ i713620h or the old lenovo legion 5 (2021) qhd/rtx 3070/ ryzen 7-5800h?
For gaming well go for the legion 5. It's GPU provides excellent raw performance.
I recommend you to buy the rtx 4060 one even if it's don't better than 3070 because the 4060 has more features than the 3070 and the 4060 hase better cooling 🪭
Best reviewer
thanks man, appreciate it
Which one would you to prefer to user i7 13620h with 4060 or ryzen 7 7840hs with 4060 lenovo loq supposing balanced or all rount user and also what was battery life on it?
Very happy with this laptop. Through the Lenovo Vantage software I toned down the power levels of the CPU/GPU and now it's whisper quiet. The 7840HS and 4060 RTX are both very power efficient and can do allot with little power fed to them. The 7840HS is basically a slightly slower version of the 7940HS but it retains all its features such as the built-in AI engine. The laptop chassis is very sturdy and feels and looks premium. Sound is above average compared to my previous laptops. Using external monitor.
As a hobby programmer I ran the laptop through a heavily multi-threaded 95%+ CPU workload through the night and it performed flawlessy while being almost fully quiet, but you have to done down the power levels through the Lenovo Vantage software to achieve that. The 7840HS is so efficient that it actually does not lose much performance while being power starved. Given how cheap these units are the value here is incredible.
Look no further if you are a power-efficiency enthousiast that is looking for a deal on the latest hardware.
Lenovo srsly been killing it recently. Though in my country, stock availability issues can be frustrating sometimes. I like this new LOQ but I personally would buy the Legion for that extra bit of build quality that will definitely make a difference if you take it out quite a bit.
no usb 4 is the most downside to have this laptop. i almost want to buy this, but to know it will become obsolete soon.
@Jarlve which one would you recommend i7 13620h with 4060 or r7 7840hs with 4060 in lenovo loq and also what is battery life on yours
how many does it last on full charge on normal day to day usage
Just bought the same laptop, but when I start it I have a blackscreen. When rebooting its gone tho. Do you know how to fix it?
Do you recommend Legion 5 (2022) i7-12700H 16gb ram rtx 3060 or LOQ 15 i713620H 8gb ram rtx 4050 or LOQ 15 ryzen7 7840hs 16gb ram rtx 4060 if they are all same price?
Hey @MobHouse, i really apreciate the video, the Storage upgrade is a 2242 slot on the right and on the left is the same? it seems larger
One is 2242 and another can go either 2242 or 2280
Thanks bro i ordered it
No worries!
Nice video. Which one is better, this or hp victus 16 with 4060? This one looks stronger somehow than the Victus
go with this one it has advanced optimus and a better build quality than victus plus if you want the 4060, you can get loq with a 4060 too
its overall better to get the loq
Just got this as my 1st ever gaming laptop \o/
How is it ??
How’s your experience so far?
@@JohnHelldiver88 I got one as my first gaming laptop too with the following specs: i7 13620h, RTX 4060 and 32 gigs of ram. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be "smooth", because everything from watching youtube, to playing the latest games is a buttery smooth experience. It's able to run most games at a constant 60+ fps on highest settings, native resolution, and in competitive games, it easily maintains 120, even 200 fps. The build quality feels solid and the fans aren't that loud as one may think. If you're playing with headphones on, you won't hear them at all. Overall, I would definitely recommend it, but only with these specs, as I don't have any experience with lower spec examples.
Love your voice
Thanks man
Very low 7840HS cinebench numbers. What was the TDP? 35W?? The 7840HS is supposed to score around that at 35W.
How much is the current pricing for this? also does the fans make loud noise?
i subscribed for the singing
I ran Valorant and performed about 160 fps that is spiking down and up. I don't know if it is the RAM or the computer itself. Please reply and give explanation on how I could fix it. Though I am getting 2 by 16 gb ram later just in case.
You got yourself a new subscriber with all those insults 🤣
What do we Asian kids have in common if not some light verbal abuse sprinkled in our upbringing??? XD
After getting the Lenovo LOQ15APH8, I must say that its performance in video games it's great. It has a good CPU and GPU; AMD processor of the lastest generation same as the NVIDIA RTX of 8GB latest generation. However, the biggest flaw it's the battery, if you want to use it without a charger, that battery dies faster than an iPhone (it has 2 hrs at best for use, no gaming, regular use, and with the charger connected it does not charge in full, it's stuck in 95%). I still don't know if the battery is defective or if I should buy a new one, any help with this?
the charging stuck at 95% might be a feature of the lenovo vantage software to extend battery health, there should be an option to disable it in vantage
hii have you figured out how to turn on the RGB backlight keyboard? legion spectrum doesn't appear on my legion vantage
I want to buy the loq 15 base model i5 13420h 8gb ram rtx 3050 6gb with 60wh battery, is the battery that bad? Even by deactivating dgpu? So why is it portable in the first place, i want it for college as my primary use and the second is gaming
Do you think it's worth it for 600$?
@@littlebodyinside4648 FN + Space
dont forget that it have mux switch, use iGPU mode and use quite performance mode and i get 5 hours easy
For gaming and 3d editing
Should i go for loq i7 13gen h , RTX 4060 8gb and 1TB or for the same price predator neo with i7 13gen h, RTX 4050 6gb, 512gb
Can u do the 4060 ver
6:54 da kitty looking at the camera doe 😂
My cat cute right???
AI
Its good but the fan noise loud. Any tips? I play Sons of the forest and the fans is like a jet
I have a question, did the price decrease of the video to today? About 11 months.
how does this laptop compare to the Asus TUF Gaming A15 Ryzen 7 7735HS RTX 4060
How long do you think the battery will last for a school setting, i.e a little bit of coding, mostly a browser with 5-10 tabs open
Depends on what tabs u have open but if you don't set it to performance mode, probably a good while.
I just bought mine. I5 13500H with a 4050 and 1TB SSD with 8Gb ram for 770 on Amazon. Which i also went ahead and purchased 2x16 of DDR5 for an extra hundred.
I could never with the blue color at the back maaaan..
yea man... kinda bugs me too
How long can the battery last unplugged on 50% brightness and backlit off doing web browsing, spreadsheet or video playback? Have you tested this?
Around 5+ hours. Not the best. The 16 inch version has the option to upgrade to an 80Whr battery, should be much better.
Shane , 1 Question .. Is 4050 performs better than 3060?
should i get the helios predator 300 2022 with 3060 and i7 12th and better finish quality or the LOQ 2023 with ryzen 7 7840 and 4060, plastic finish?( both have the same price)
The main difference being the top metal lid should not be the primary deciding factor. My Legion 5 with the similar build quality of the LOQ has fallen down a respectable height multiple times from the hands of friends and annoying cousins and this thing still has not even a single dent or scratch. Lenovo laptops are on the sturdier side of things. What you should be focused on is whether the specs will last longer. The ryzen 7 in the LOQ reaches a 5.1Ghz max turbo, plus the zen4 architecture is really power efficient. Not that you're gonna be playing games on battery but you can rely on it to last long whilst doing things on battery. The 40 series is infact a huge let down this year. DLSS 3 does increase the average frame rates more than the 3060 for even less power drawn, so that's the only good improvement you get with the 40 series. That is ofc in games that support dlss 3. It is a power efficient card at the end of the day.
@@jupiteruniverse8683estaba por comprarme una MSI pero está Lenovo tiene mejor TGP, DDR5 y ahora con tu comentario avalando su durabilidad me eh decantado por ella, es mi primera laptop y ando emocionado
Muchas gracias,espero tengas un bonito día
I found Lenovo LOQ for 1199$ with ryzen 5 7640hs and rtx4050 and 1 tb memory. Is it good ?
Bro what are your thoughts on Xiaomi Redmi G Pro
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
Just leave it on default
Holy I just got this with the Ryzen 7 7840hs and rtx 4060 for Rm4750!
How's the battery life for normal use, does battery saver work well?
oes this support igpu hybrid mode for ultrabooks efficiency mode
I wanna get into pc gaming but im scared to throw thousands down. I slowly wanna ease my way in. Been think either the steam deck or a gaming laptop to see if i really wanna take that extra step
It all depends in your budget. If you're thinking about buying a gaming laptop, the most important components are the GPU and ram. To get a smooth experience I would recommend only looking at laptops with RTX 40-series GPUs, like 4050, 4060, or even 4090, but those are quite expensive. An RTX 4060 should be enough to run most games on ultra settings. If you want something cheaper, an RTX 30-series might be good, but you'll have to turn the graphics down to medium when running the latest games. As for the ram, the minimum nowadays is at least 16 gigabytes, most games should be able to run with that, but if you want to run games with other programs running in the background, you might need to step it up to 32 gigs. CPUs aren't that important, as most games mainly utilise the GPU
I'm just about to place an order for a LOQ so could you answer a very simple question for me? When gaming, can you honestly tell the difference between playing in 1080p vs 1440p??? I definitely saw a difference between my old 1080p TV & my new 4k TV but that's on as much bigger display. On a 15 or 16 inch laptop, I do wonder if my aging eyes could perceive any difference whatsoever! Any advice gratefully received...
Not on this laptop's screen, but if you use a larger external display then yes.It's not your eyes, but the pixel density per inch. On a larger display. the pixels are way bigger, so you might start to see dots if you game with your eyes too close to the screen which FPS shooter players do.
@@MOBHouseThanks for that. I went ahead & bought the LOQ with a 1080p screen & I'm well happy.
Can you upgrade both ram slots?
What do u think about the cheapest loq laptop?
The one with i5 13gen rtx 3050 6gb vram varient?
Does that one also come with 4zone rgb?
Also does it actually come with 6gb vram or it's a typo in their website? I never seen 6gb vram with rtx 3050 that's why I'm asking
The only diff is going to be with the internals
@@MOBHouse agreed but my main question does it have rgb like the one in this review video?
It does not have RGB keyboard I have that model currently
@@AdityaSoni-vo9sq I assume you're from India..
The thing is that flipkart was where this model was launched, and even after weeks, there is no 16 inch version, nor any with an rgb keyboard. Not even the official lenovo website has the rgb variant. Don't know why its taking too long for those models to come out.
@@AdityaSoni-vo9sqdid you buy it? what do think about it? Especially the battery?!
All modele of loq comes with free mouse?
I would love some advice, i just bought this for my sons and i am considering upgrading the 8gb ram, should i replace the single stick with 1x 16gb stick or 2x 8gb sticks, or 2x 16gb sticks?
Of course 2× 16 is the best choice but it will cost you more
Thanks for the review. May I ask is Processor or GPU more important for gaming?
I see in the shop different specs from your video, for USD 730:
Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 7640HS
Memory: 8 GB SO-DIMM DDR5-5600
Graphics: RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 Boost Clock.
Is this acceptable for the price or are they short changing me in terms of the lower processor/graphics card? What would you change? Thanks so much.
GPU for sure. especially with laptops, because they are very unlikely to pair underpowered CPUs that bottleneck GPUs.
@@MOBHouse So i should not accept a 3050? must at least go for 4050?
What if compare with last year legion 5 rtx 3060 with R7 6800H
There is a model of this laptop in my country with specifications i713620H 16GB 512SSD RTX 4050. Do you think it can be a suitable laptop for gaming, Premiere and Photoshop? I don't want to change it for four years
Sorry for my english because it is not my native language
overkill
buy from their website using customize
The 13th Gen intel processor is around the same performance as the 12th gen one. The 13th gen got a new hybrid architecture which is really showing a massive difference from the 12th Gen. The 4050 is enough for whatever you're gonna throw at it.
7:46 loq 16 has 16:10 aspect ratio.
bro helps me choose between r5 7640hs rtx 4050 and i5 13420h rtx 4050
I actually just bought this laptop for about $1000.00 USD with 16GB ram, 512GB SSD, RTX4050 and Ryzen 5 CPU. Im pretty happy with it so far but yea, the lack of a 16:10 display kinda sucks
Yea man
How well could this laptop play Escape From Tarkov?
I have the exact same laptop with same spec but why my keyboard backlight is white it’s not rgb colors?
hm... that's odd
Should've payed attention at every detail before going for this laptop.
Ddr5 was already dual channel even if it is 1stick...
But Bcz the battery is about 60Whrs plz tell me if we doing only normaal tasks without running any game! then how many hours can this laptop go?
Check out the battery life segment
Do I get this or the 2024 ryzen 7 8845 4060. The 2023 model looks the same apart from the cpu
If you're gonna get on that AI action, the new model.
How is fan sound during heavy use ? is it loud ?
quite loud.
Just bought the same laptop, but when I start it I have a blackscreen. When rebooting its gone tho. Do you know how to fix it?
No idea actually. Try updating all your drivers
Like y follow con este video y uno de los comentarios que avalaba su durabilidad me estoy decantando por esta Lenovo como mi premera laptop 😅
Cómo te va con esta laptop? y cuánto le dura la pila en uso normal? pienso comprarla por 800 dólares con 16gb de ram y 1tb ssd
You've mentioned that personally you'll downgrade the CPU to Ryzen 5 is there any particular reason for that?
Hm... Because you'd want a balance between gpu and cpu power to get a versatile machine. Most ppl won't be able to utilize that Ryzen 7 to it's full potential with this gpu combo so you'd just be paying extra for something you don't necessarily need.
@@MOBHouse I see, that made sense to me, thank you! will use this knowledge to better pick laptops specs
Compare it with predator Helios Neo 16 i7 13700hx
LOQ with core i7 13620 h/4050rtx 6 gb/144Hz/16 ram /512ssd
vs
Legon 5 core i7 12700h/3060rtx 6gb/165Hz/1TB ssd/16ram(cost more about 200$)
Which one should i choose
I want it for studying
And thank you
Same problem here!
My LOQ 15 doesn’t support the RGB feature, it just has a white backlight. Rip
How is the screen mate?
Is it any good?
I'm at the verge of deciding to go for this or the zephyrus g15 that's got a higher quality screen and an rgb keyboard.
Mine too, no rgb on my keyboard
battery life?
Is it better than Dell g15 tho?
Predator helios neo 16 i5 13500hx 4060 or this one? Which do you prefer?
If I'm not wrong, tue helios should be quite a bit more expensive
@@MOBHousein my country acer helios neo 16 is cheaper than anything lenovo has released this year and last year.
Where do you buy ram and memory that fits for those empty slots
Shop online or go to a computer store
Can u charge the laptop with type c port???
no
it actually charges with my 65w charger and type c cable only when it is turned off. It won't charge when it is on.
Bro made this review to flex on his singing skills
Just playing bro
Which you prefer?
Nitro 5-17 12650h rtx 4060
Vs
LOQ 15 - Ryzen 7 7840hs rtx 4060 Mostly for valorant and might play games like cyberpunk or forza or other competitive games
I ask another content creator and he said nitro cuz i7 is better than r7 when it comes to games like valorant, but in your vid it seems like loq is better and in terms of battery wise, ryzen is better when i research.... So i want your opinion
Gonna go with ryzen next month u wont go wrong either way some games runs better on intel some on amd
the ryzen 7840 is a better cpu for gaming ;)
Should i go for this loq or Legion 5(5800)?
Hm.... Legion is better built but this new gen processor is more powerful and power efficient. So u choose.
Is the store giving free mouse with laptop i have no Idea 😢
lenovo m100 rgb mouse is included in the box
Can u give me a solutions. This laptop comes with windows 11. But i downgrade this to windows 10. But problem is now speaker not working. I already call customer care. They telling me if u Downgrade this laptop some hardware not work. Fu** of lenovo loq15 😢
It's not really a Lenovo problem. It's a laptop problem. Laptops are not like desktops where you can find drivers that support older Windows OS easily. Sorry to hear about your issues man.
Can battery last longer than 5 hours cause i want to use it for class
Yes if u set to balanced with 50% screen brightness
@@MOBHouse okay thanks 👍
Is this a Tech Channel or Music Channel?
Both XD
This or Hp Victus 16?
Good question, this is probably slightly cheaper depending on where you're from.
Is this the king in this price range ?
These days a lot of brands are very competitive but I'd say this is top 3.
So what are the other top 2 ? I mean this is the only laptop which gives 4060 with ddr5 5600 mhz@@MOBHouse
for those who dare, I mean care hehe 😁
Does the battery drain fast?
A gaming laptop will always drain fast if you're gaming on it
6:28 🤣🤣🤣
XD
If you upgrade the laptop to RAM 32, will there be a problem?
Yes. It will run better and you won't stop gaming. That's a problem.
@@MOBHouse I have bougth this machine after watching the review but Lenovo is saying that Maximum RAM can be only 16GB. 8GB in each slot.
@@reviewwithkarmadid you buy the cheapest model? And btw users tried adding more and it worked with 32gb
What do you think about the laptop especially the battery?
Does it have Mux switch?
I think it does
It does, the last gen doesn't
It has both a MUX switch and Advanced Optimus.
