Yeah, great review! the battery on my Y540 (i5 with RTX2060) died on me after five years. So this one seems to be perfect replacement for, in fact, lower price. This one also looks to me, as with the old Y540, that you can populate 2,5" SATA drive left to the battery? I got a sata flat cable in the Y540 packaing and running 512GB nvme drive + 2TB SATA SSD in my old laptop (together with other upgrades such as 32GB of DDR4 and wi-fi7 card).
Just bought this laptop for Black Friday in Finland, after my AORUS 15G got defeated by a driver update, and I’m excited and looking forward to using it already, I’m a professional photographer so will be used mostly for Lightroom and Photoshop and ocasional gaming with my husband!! Awesome review thanks for all the info! I’m happy I got a good one!
Just bought this at Best Buy yesterday for $800 after 2 days researching and shopping around. It's my first gaming laptop. Thanks for confirming that i made the right choice!
@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.
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!
16:22 the wifi speed is mentioned in megabits and not megabytes(MB), if you need MB, you need to divide the mb by 8 so actual speed here is 572/8. Great review for the laptop❤
I just bought this laptop customized with ryzen 5 8645hs, rtx 3050 and 16GB in India. This laptop's thermals and battery life is awesome. 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.
@@erebus3059 77K to 81K depending on what you choose. I also ordered the same laptop with 8645HS+16GB RAM+100% sRGB 1080p display+RTX 3050+ RGB keyboard+1080p webcam. It costed me 81K with 3 years ADP. Lenovo have shipped it yet to get the laptop.
@@saidallahverdi The laptop is working good except for speakers they are not bad but they are not good like HP Omen series. However After update speakers are louder now I suggest you to use smart mode for nahimic audio but webcam is pretty average. Everything else is very good. laptop runs silent, I am getting battery life of 5-7 hrs laptop build is solid.
Thanks for this review! What has been your favourite 16 inch laptop so far in 2024 or that you recommend? You've tested so many... Yoga pro 9i, legion 7i, Alienware M16 r2...
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
Is this model still prone to the motherboard failure problem LOQs had in previous years? I'm leaning towards something like a LOQ for my next gaming laptop. Currently I Have a Ryzen 4th gen 1650Ti legion
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.
great video style; thorough and calm. you’ve convinced me to purchase one for $840. i’m actually selling my Victus 15 8645HS 4050 to upgrade the GPU and CPU one tier.
Looks great on video, much better than on photos. I was sceptical because LOQ sounds in our language similar to "loh", which means loser. But after this video I like it.
amazing review! you cover great amount of detail which is really helpful for a potential laptop buyer i don't get why other reviewers are ignoring this AMD LOQ and the AMD Legions
@@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.
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
I'm thinking of getting this same laptop but the only difference is that it has a Ryzen 7 7435HS (no integrated gpu) with a 4070. Would it still be as good as this or would there be any issues?
i worked here in tasmania,australia and i have plan to order here from lenovo with the link that you provided ,i hope there's no problem at all ,hope u respond too thank you , always like ur channel.. keep up the good work sir
Thanks for this. Might be as a gift or so. I, myself ordered a Legion Slim 5 14' Gen 8 a week ago. It will be my travel machine as at home I use a Legion Slim 7i Gen 8 - happily. Gretings from Germany.
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 ?
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?
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??
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.
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?
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
Hello Dude, Really loved your detailed review, Btw new subscriber here and i got lots of detailed information from this video. "May i ask about the HINGE QUALITY on this particular model?", i am really looking forward to buying this laptop.
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??
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
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 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! :)
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.
this USB C port would transfer video signal and function as a power supply at the same time? I'd like to use one single USB C cable connection to dock station without any HDMI cable
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
Уже купил? Ко мне на днях такой пришел. Пока проблем никаких нет, все топ. Ну кроме того что на винду десятку не устанавливались драйвера, пришлось 11 устанавливать, и с ней тоже проблемка была. При установке 11 вмнды, он требовал какой-то драйвер. Мне пришлось его скачать через другой комп на эту же флешку, где у меня была винда, и только так установилось. Ну, это мелочи, а так все тупа топ. У меня версия с 230W зарядкой, хотя я этого не знал, пока сам ноут не пришёл. Нигде этого написано не было при заказе. Если что могу дать свою телегу, если хочешь еще что-то узнать
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?
hi im trying to display my OSD for this laptop using afterbuner but I cant get all of that details specifically the CPU temp. was just wonderi g if there is a trick? i also got the HWINFO64 but still not showing. I hope you can help me. Thanks man, great vid
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.
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.
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 ?
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
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.
realy? balanced is always the recommended settings, as game/sys choose the best what he needs, example on game start. No need to switch to different modes. The 2-5 FPS doesnt make sence ot get in return a helicopter noise :D all other, great review. regards
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!
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.
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.
you're insanely underrated . The content on this channel is top notch , keep up the good work bro !

@@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.
this USB C port would transfer video signal and function as a power supply at the same time? I'd like to use one single USB C cable connection to dock station without any HDMI cable
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
Sir hi from Kazakhstan i want to buy exactly this laptop dod you have any issues with this laptop? Do you have 230W power adapter?
Уже купил? Ко мне на днях такой пришел. Пока проблем никаких нет, все топ. Ну кроме того что на винду десятку не устанавливались драйвера, пришлось 11 устанавливать, и с ней тоже проблемка была. При установке 11 вмнды, он требовал какой-то драйвер. Мне пришлось его скачать через другой комп на эту же флешку, где у меня была винда, и только так установилось. Ну, это мелочи, а так все тупа топ.
У меня версия с 230W зарядкой, хотя я этого не знал, пока сам ноут не пришёл. Нигде этого написано не было при заказе.
Если что могу дать свою телегу, если хочешь еще что-то узнать
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?
hi im trying to display my OSD for this laptop using afterbuner but I cant get all of that details specifically the CPU temp. was just wonderi g if there is a trick? i also got the HWINFO64 but still not showing. I hope you can help me. Thanks man, great vid
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.
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
is there much of a difference between this one and rtx 4070? so i can save some money yknow
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 ?
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
Best wishes❤
any mobo issues?? I'm planning to buy this model, without warranty because this model has no IWS warranty, please help me
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
Sounds good to me
Hey I didn't find QHD with 350 Nits in Lenovo India😶
@@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.
@@BAKYX same
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.
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
Good review!
realy? balanced is always the recommended settings, as game/sys choose the best what he needs, example on game start. No need to switch to different modes. The 2-5 FPS doesnt make sence ot get in return a helicopter noise :D all other, great review. regards
Do I need to install any virus software or does window 11 have enough
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!
I just bought this laptop with RTX 4050 which the only one available. It cost me around 1119 CAD plus tax, roughly 770 USD.
Is it true that Intel Gen 13 and Gen 14 HX series have motherboard issues in this laptop?
I've never heard of this.
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.
Have you got that? What are the CPU temps on your item? Have you managed to reduce them? Also, what is DPC latency on your item?
@@v-ba I decided to go for the Legion Pro 7i Gen8 instead.
is Lenovo Loq better than Asua tuf or HP victus ? i ask mostly with best airflow and build quality between the brands
Lenovo is now good at gaming laptops my friend
will this be good for graphic design especially adobe PS and illustrator?
How are the LOQARP9 and LOQAHP9 different?
I am getting the same one for 850$should i get it?
This or lenovo legion 5 slim amd 7 rtx 4050?
Is this better than the Legion 5 15ARP8? Its been tough finding reviews on either.
how much battery difference can i expect with 1440 p screen
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 get more battery life by disabling Nvidia GPU?
Sorry😂 bro I got the rygen 7 7435 model so ,my cpu doesn't have any integrated GPU.
@@PrabhuPrasadSahoo-x6t understood. What DPC latency do you have on your laptop?
