Lenovo LOQ 15 - Still Worth It In 2025? - Budget Gaming Laptops

Описание: Here is my hands-on experience with the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8. I had a lot of fun testing this one! The Lenovo LOQ 15, and more precisely the 15IRH8 model with the Intel i5-12450H and the RTX 3050 6GB on board is one of the least expensive devices in the LOQ 15 lineup. It's also quite surprisingly a real powerhouse when it comes to mid-range AAA gaming, and thus in my honest opinion a neat budget choice for laptop gamers.

And the best thing is that it still does hold up rather nicely going into this year, making it a perfect pick if you need a reasonably powerful gaming laptop without breaking the bank. Although some things could be improved here, I won't pretend that for that price this one is definitely worth getting.

Here are the promised links to all of the versions of Lenovo LOQ 15 relevant in 2025:
