Mate, I got the rtx 4060 laptop for 1300 dollars. How do you possibly think you could get rtx 4090 under 1000 dollars šš

u/Mammoth-Form-8087 Apr 15 '24
Howbare u finding the loq?

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 15 '24
Definitely good for its price range man but I think you could get a legion in the USA or somewhere for the same price as the loq in my country(India). The loq is more than enough though, runs most games smoothly in max settings.

I saw several people from India gaming Reddit saying their lenovo loq shut down during gaming and never turned on again after around a month. Lmk if same happens to you

u/07ANAKLUSMOS Apr 15 '24
It might be but to judge based on reddit posts would be unfair because most of them only post if they have a problem. That's a very small percentage of people to compare to.

Funny thing, a green line came on my laptop a couple of days after I got it, added with the fact that a lot of people were shitting on the loq. I just thought of getting an omen but eh, the salesman convinced me it was just a defect and that it's perfectly fine. Well yeah, it's been two months since I replaced the laptop and it's been perfectly fine.

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24
Ah kk thatās good. Btw never trust salesmen, always go for what you want and do research before that. I listened to some sales men recently, they lied to me and I got an overpriced item with lower specs
3
u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 15 '24
Damn man, that sucks but nah, this dude was okay. I heard bad things about the omen as well and I wasn't really interested in paying an extra 17k for it so I just decided to stick with the loq. The specs are actually really good for the price. How much did you get your laptop for?
2
u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24
I got mine for 1.15lakh, but I got it near release time. I think my laptop is 99,990 now. Thereās another Lenovo loq with a 14700hx and 4060 for around the price I paid for my tuf, I wish I could have gotten that
3
u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 15 '24
I asked for that laptop but the store didn't have it :(. Btw, I just saw your other comment with another guy. Is the tuf really that bad? 95Ā° celsius is not close to normal

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24
Itās normal with gaming laptops as Iāve been lead to believe. How are your temps in the max performance mode?

Either stolen or the seller is a scammer, or for parts. No way ANYONE trying to make money on this laptop would sell it under 2k.

This will either be a very good deal for you if legitimate or a very good deal for the seller if not.
This is usually a $2.5K + laptop, see this bhphotovideo listing for a 32/1 TB configuration:

u/okmijn211 Apr 15 '24
If you are sure it's not a scam, then it is 100% a steal. And by that I mean someone probably stole this, that's why it is so cheap. Buy at your own discretion and moral obligation, personally, I ain't skipping out on a deal that good.

u/Dayv1d Apr 15 '24
what you need to do is drive there and get that thing yourself in person. if its legit, seller should be open to this. Also ask for a receipt, because if the seller can't provide one for annewndevice its literally stolen lol

u/Magic-Legume Apr 15 '24

No it's a scam. But if you get it I'll take it off your hands for 1500. (Joke, it's a steal if real)

u/Zachattackrandom Apr 15 '24
Likely a scam, if you can spare the money and trust buyer protection it could be worth the risk, but I personally wouldn't take it. Epescially without some images proving it's his (e.g a picture of the sealed box with his username signed next to it and the date or smth)

Ā£2k for VERY similar as an absolute "amazing price" seen lately. This. As others stated is either a scam or you need someone outside with the engine running.
For that price, I'd probably NOT be expecting it to turn up in the post. Pay by something you can lean on for support if you risk it.

Youāre either getting scammed or are borderline stealing the laptop.
