If you’re unable to drop thousands of dollars on a souped-up gaming rig, you’re not alone, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a below average machine. Right now you can pick up the Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 for just $749 at B&H. That’s $560 off the usual price!
This laptop wields Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4050 graphics as well as a sizeable, 15.6-inch display with a 144Hz refresh rate. Although you may need to taper your expectations depending on the type of game you’re playing, $749 is a damn good price for a gaming laptop. These often start around $1,000 and only go up from there.
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 is packing an Intel Core i7-13700H CPU, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. Depending on the graphic demands of the game, you may need to dial back the graphics on faster-paced titles. However, with older games, you should be able to bump up the graphics preset to High or Ultra. The 1080p display also has a maximum brightness of 350 nits. We’ve seen brighter displays, sure, but it’s perfectly fine for most games. Besides, you can always plug into an external monitor if need be. Other cool features include a 1080p webcam for videoconferencing and dual 85-blade fans for when things get red hot.
Bottom line? You almost never see gaming laptops selling for this cheap — at least not new. Grab it before it’s gone.
