LOQ 15IRH8 82XV0011US 15.6" Gaming Notebook - Full HD - 1920 x 1080 - Intel Core i5 13th Gen i5-13420H Octa-core (8 Core) - 8 GB Total RAM - 512 GB SSD - Storm Gray

I know there are better LOQs with the 40xx GPUs and the 50xx GPU machines are right around the corner, but I'm not anywhere near that kind of dedicated gamer that would need any of that - but what I did need was an upgrade over my previous gaming laptop from 2018. I dropped in 32GB of RAM, slapped in a M.2 SSD to keep the games separate from the OS drive; and I was rip-roaring and ready to go. Pretty awesome - pretty awesome - pretty damn awesome. Even on low to mid settings, things are just absolutely lush compared to my previous machine. Was a bit of an impulsive buy even after spending a couple of weeks comparing the wazoo out of other laptops out there in the price range, and they just couldn't compare. Have to say I'm pretty happy with this pretty awesome upgrade...

First gaming laptop so I didn’t know what to expect but so far it is fantastic. Great for gaming and work. Extremely easy to upgrade I already upgraded the ram to 32GB and just upgraded the SSD to 1TB making a total of 1.5TB both for only about $100 bucks and very easy to do yourself. I’m not a huge gamer but I’ve been playing fallout and gears of war and it runs 10x better than my Xbox in terms of frame rate and graphics.
