Lenovo LOQ 15 gaming laptop offers entry-level performance with an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor

The Lenovo LOQ 15 is an entry-level gaming laptop featuring an Intel Core i7-13650HX processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU. The device is equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM running at 5600MT/s and a 512GB M.2 2242 SSD. Its 15.6-inch IPS display offers a 144Hz refresh rate at a 1920x1080 resolution. The laptop includes a single-zone white LED-backlit keyboard and a 60Wh battery, which provides approximately one hour of runtime during intensive gaming sessions. Connectivity options include a 10Gb USB-C port with DisplayPort 1.4 support, two 5Gb USB-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port, and an Ethernet port. The cooling system utilizes a single-fan design, which is a cost-saving measure compared to the dual-fan systems found in higher-end models. The laptop's performance is managed through the Legion Space software, which allows users to customize power profiles, including a manual mode for adjusting CPU and GPU power limits and fan curves. The RTX 5060 GPU is limited to a 65W TGP, which impacts performance compared to higher-wattage variants of the same card.
