Gaming doesn\u2019t have to be enjoyed only on a high-end gaming PC. Announced today, Lenovo LOQ\u2014pronounced \u201clock\u201d\u2014 lets new gamers set out on the first steps of their gaming journeys, allowing them to explore new virtual worlds and connect with new real-world communities with gaming devices that are packed with features without breaking the bank. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering plenty of choice, the brand-new lineup of Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops include the Intel-based\u00a0Lenovo LOQ 16IRH8\u00a0and\u00a0Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8\u00a0laptops as well as the\u00a0Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRB8\u00a0desktop PC, and the AMD-based\u00a0Lenovo\u00a0LOQ 16APH8\u00a0and\u00a0Lenovo LOQ 15APH8\u00a0laptops. Inspired by Lenovo\u2019s premium Legion-branded gaming line-up, the new Lenovo LOQ line encompasses more than just design features such as the rear I\/O notch on its laptops and the shared stylized \u2018O\u2019 in both brands\u2019 logos. The two sub-brands are complementary in catering to a wider gaming community, including beginner gamers setting off on their gaming paths to greatness with Lenovo LOQ as well as those leveling up to Lenovo Legion devices to compete against more advanced opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the launch of the new Lenovo LOQ brand, we\u2019re building a lineage of gaming excellence and PC offerings that are not just for the gaming community\u2019s top players, but for new and future gamers alike,\u201d\u00a0said Jun Ouyang, Lenovo\u2019s vice president and general manager of the Consumer Business Segment, Intelligent Devices Group.\u00a0\u201cLenovo LOQ breaks down barriers to entry for gamers, empowering them to embark on adventures of connection and fun in the gaming world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops\u2014Blaze new in-game trails while forging real-world connections<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New gamers will enjoy lots of choice with the Lenovo LOQ gaming portfolio, no matter the screen size (15-inch or 16-inch), the processor (up to a 13th<\/sup>\u00a0Gen Intel Core or AMD Ryzen 7000 Series CPU), or graphics (NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lenovo LOQ gaming laptops with NVIDIA GPUs feature a MUX switch that enables the integrated GPU to be bypassed via NVIDIA Advanced Optimus during gaming sessions. This allows the NVIDIA graphics cards to interface directly with the display and result in higher frames-per-second with reduced latency, so that games run smoother and look even better. When not gaming, the MUX Switch allows the laptop to use the integrated graphics, optimizing battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n
