Legion LOQ – AI-Powered Gaming Laptop - Intel® Core™ i7-13650HX - 15.6" FHD IPS Display – 144Hz – NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5050 – 24GB Memory – 1TB Storage – NVIDIA G-Sync - Luna Grey

Picked this laptop up for about 800$ ish after tax on prime day, which for the price is a great deal. I wouldn’t pick this up at full price (almost 1200$) as you can get better specs elsewhere. Bought this because my old Asus Tuf A16’s hinge broke, and this LOQ has a much sturdier build while also performing better! Recommended!

It is a nice laptop. It has decent build quality. I wouldn't say it's the best but for the price, it's pretty decent. It's a little on the heavy side. A lot of people have already said that, but it definitely will weigh a little bit more than your standard laptop for it not being a metal shell. That being said, I have been doing some testing and some games and specifically at least in call of duty and also a little bit in Apex. I haven't tested fortnite or anything like that, but call of duty and Apex. They seem to have some micro stutter that's happening. Basically when you're moving it'll like cut frames for like half a second and then put you right back in. So it seems to be that maybe the drivers are not supported or are not optimized. I've tried reinstalling the drivers from Nvidia and it's hit or miss. I'll load into the game and sometimes I have nothing no center and then I'll load into the other game another day and it's stutter all day so keep that in mind. I don't know if it's the 50/50 series or what, but I saw that somebody was having issues with the 5090 similar to what I was having. So it might just be the 50 series graphics cards in general. Maybe going with a 4060 might be a little bit better but I have also played battlefield and battlefield runs perfectly fine. Battlefield 6 to be exact. So that's a new game. Maybe it's better optimized for these newer graphics cards. Don't know. I did try running a couple other games and those ones played fine. I tried running forza 5 and killing floor 3 They played fine. I tried running gta and that played fine. So overall, if those are the games that you're trying to run then some of those games will run fine and they'll run at respectable FPS. I've been getting on average through most games about 80 FPS to 100 I do try to go for more quality than FPS but that's me so you can maybe get more FPS if you lower the quality a little bit but just know that it's not perfect and it does also overheat a little bit in my opinion. It never shut off on me but when you touch the middle of the keyboard at least on mine it does get hot. Not just warm but hot. I don't know how good that is for the device in the long run, so I bought a aftermarket cooler by llano just to kind of mitigate some of that heat. I'm sure a lot of people already have touched on this, but battery life is not that great. Maybe 2 hours at most of gameplay so you're plugging this in all the time. It's more like a desktop PC than it is. A portable PC that you can just play unplugged but if you have an outlet and you're able to be next to know it. It's a nice PC. It's fast at that at some games and the build quality is decent. Oh last thing speakers are trash get headphones or some external Bluetooth speaker or something because the speakers are garbage at full volume. It sounds like barely half volume on my phone. Overall, I am decently happy with the product. I would probably give it like a 3.7 but they don't have an option for that so I'll give it four stars just because it does play most of the games I want to find. I just wish it had a little bit more tuning to it to make it run cooler and also make the drivers for the Nvidia 50 series a little bit better or at least give it an update or something
