Best praise vs top criticism for Lenovo LOQ 15
Best Praise
+29 pts“The LOQ is the best value option if you can afford it. It's just better built and better performing all around for a moderate price increase. >What should i be looking into spec wise? Depends on what you want to do, but gaming wise the 5050 LOQ should play just about anything out of the box, if at lower settings. Can't say the same about MSI Thin and the 3050 Victus.”

ViewTop Criticism
+25 pts“Desktops are always superior to laptops in terms of price and specs But when you think about the bundle you get with a laptop, it starts to make sense. I have owned laptops since I was 9 and I'm pretty much sure that I overloaded each ThinkPad, each Dell and now the Legion I own (but I'm more delicate now to my tech). None died under proper maintenance and monitoring. The thing is that LOQs had a ton of problems regarding the motherboard and hardware failures due to 1. Intel's problem with 13/14th then IA VCC or basically Package Voltage going over 1.4v which degraded the CPU like a poison silently. (Got patched in Aug/Nov 2024 I don't remember) 2. Lenovo has QC problems and still does for budget sections of anything that isn't a ThinkPad or a Legion 7/9 3. It's a lottery.”

Best Praise
+23 pts“Bro you probably won't get any 4080 laptop for 1000 and those people who told you 4070 for laptop is shit are lying to you. I own Tuf 15 i7 13gen 4070 for a year now bought it for 1200$ and it's worth every penny. It can run 1080p very high to ultra on every latest AAA title.”

ViewTop Criticism
+4 pts“The drive gave out within 6 months and the wifi adapter no longer works. I tried to get Asus to sell me a new adapter so I could swap it but they refused. Warranty exists but I was working away for a month at a time and needed it plus the 2 failed components were easy to replace without sending it away for weeks. The screen is not very good either. So I use a USB wifi and replaced the drive.”
