It’s hard to find a gaming laptop if you’re on a budget, but we’ve seen Lenovo’s more affordable LOQ series — and specifically this 15-inch model — come to the rescue several times.
Today, Best Buy is offering this version with a Ryzen CPU and an RTX 4060 graphics card for $750. That’s $250 off the retail price.
With an 8-core Ryzen 7 7435HS processor, a generous 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and 512GB of SSD space, the Lenovo LOQ 15 is ready to tackle pretty much anything a regular user (or college student) could throw at it.
But it’s also packing an RTX 4060 graphics card with 8GB of video memory. That’s more than enough juice to get through most competitive games and max out the 1080p display with 144Hz of refresh. It can handle more visually intense single-player games, too, though you might have to dial down some of the visual extras.
That said, what the LOQ 15 lacks in longevity, it makes up in flexibility. For ports, you get USB-C with video-out and 140 watts of charging, plus four USB-A ports across the side and back, and full-sized HDMI and Ethernet. That makes this an excellent alternative to a desktop, especially if you crack it open to upgrade the RAM and storage. Unlike many smaller laptop designs, the LOQ 15 has both RAM slots and two M.2 slots exposed to the user, so you can make easy upgrades with a screwdriver.
Best Buy is offering this deal on its website, and there should be at least some stock in local stores if you want a quick pickup. It’s also available from Best Buy’s official eBay account.
