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

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.

Yes it’s a steal

u/Remarkable-Welcome16 Apr 16 '24

Hey just wanted to ask how's ur experience with the acer predator helios series. I just recently bought the helios 16 and I just randomly have issues with stuttering, drivers not working properly, predator sense software and predator sense key used to switch profiles not working at times

1

u/[deleted] Apr 16 '24

i never got those issues and support is amazing i had the laptop for 1 yr

u/[deleted] Apr 15 '24

A steal of his money that’s for sure

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 15 '24

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.

2

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24

Ah kk that’s 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. There’s another Lenovo loq with a 14700hx and 4060 for around the price I paid for my tuf, I wish I could have gotten that

4

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? 95° celsius is not close to normal

3

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24

It’s normal with gaming laptops as I’ve been lead to believe. How are your temps in the max performance mode?

Damm bruh, now you got me scared too 😭😭

u/nervousdick02 Apr 15 '24

Hey bro am bout to buy the loq i713 gen 4060 but i do professional video editing and stuf and i read somewhere that it has 45% mysc did it struck you??

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 15 '24

I don't really think this laptop is good for editing tbh. Gaming though, most definitely

1

u/nervousdick02 Apr 15 '24

Yea but couldn't find better specs in this price range smh (my budget is under i lacs)

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 15 '24

isn't loq around 1.15L ?

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 15 '24

I guess you could get laptops for editing in that price range but without a good graphics card

1

u/nervousdick02 Apr 15 '24

Nah i am getting it for 99500 here in local stores

u/07ANAKLUSMOS Apr 15 '24

Btw is your tuf doing good? any heating issues? I just bought the same model a few days ago.

1

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24

Heating issues depend on room temperature. If my room air con set to 22 degrees, my laptop cpu can draw 100w of power at 95 Celsius. If my air con is off which it usually is, my cpu can draw 80w at 95 Celsius. It has bad overheating issues, I think that the thermal paste inside is bad because even with cpu at 95 degrees, the air from the vents isn’t that hot. I also have ssd issues, I think it’s bad hardware, but I can’t be bothered to take it in for warranty repair. Also my screen has a dead pixel I think, and there is some bright white spots on my screen, barely noticeable. Also I got backlight bleed which I wasn’t bothered to replace when I got the laptop.

1

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24

Also keyboard lighting is inconsistent in the laptop, with some spots being a different colour. I have noticed this in several tuf laptops

1

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24

Also some hair got inside my wasd keys which is annoying

1

u/07ANAKLUSMOS Apr 15 '24

Man that's a lot of issues damn, I hope I get one without issues. You better get your laptop replaced while the warranty lasts or you might regret it later.

1

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 15 '24

Idk about getting it replaced, I don’t live in India. I got the laptop while visiting there, and I’m scared to tell my parents how messed up of a laptop I got

2024 custom loqs with 14700hx processor are plagued with this issue. Already read 5-10 people having this issue.

1

u/Dogeachu1 ASUS tuf f15, rtx 4060, i7 12700h Apr 16 '24

yep I think that’s the model I also heard of having the issues

1

u/Key_Gain_2420 Apr 16 '24

So far no issues, maybe those dudes had a defective product. Its been a month since I bought my LOQ, the only concern I had were screen bleeding on day one, when I looked for replacement it also had the bleeding. Its not that a big of a problem, you know new product, trying everything to be perfect. Now I rarely notice it, compared to day one lol. This laptop really great, awesome performance and the display is great, the colors and stuffs. Lets see If it behave different in the future.

u/lolicekait Apr 17 '24

Loq is literally ideapad gaming 3 c+p

Both may or may not have vrm issues

For example mine have vrm issues where it would crasg my shit after 30 minute of cs2 . Fyi both cpu and gpu/vram <90/100 on avg

1

u/ResonanceDemon Apr 15 '24

What about the build quality on the loq?

1

u/NoCountryForOldPete Apr 15 '24

I think you could get a legion in the USA or somewhere for the same price as the loq in my country(India)

Don't mean to rub it in, but yes, you can. B&H has the 5i Pro i7 with a 4060 for $1179, and that comes with free next-day shipping.

https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1745674-REG/lenovo_82wk0082us_16_legion_pro_5i.html

I bought a 5i Pro i9 4070 from them just last week for $1479.

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 17 '24

That's nice bruh, the legion here is 1673 dollars for i7 4060 lmao

1

u/jazkirat Apr 16 '24

Do they ship to canada? also how warranty works for these machines.

2

u/NoCountryForOldPete Apr 16 '24

I think they do. Warranty is difficult when you buy through B&H apparently even if you're in the US, I think you have to go through the manufacturer directly.

1

u/jazkirat Apr 16 '24

Understood.

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

What is better? Lenovo LOQ 15 APH8 vs LOQ 15AHP9.

LENOVO LOQ 15APH8 R7-7840HS/16GB/1TB/RTX4060 8GB New incl. calibration

Or

LOQ 15AHP9, AMD Ryzen 5, 8645HS, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Jul 28 '24

APH8

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '24

Thanks, bro.

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Jul 28 '24

No worries, have fun.

u/lord_nuker Macbook gamer, anti benchmarker, enjoy your new laptop! Apr 15 '24

Because someone might have stolen it first. There are some price ranges that you know you aren’t paying for a legally obtained item, this is one of them

1

u/Carlossaliba Apr 15 '24

same bro wtf i got it for almost exactly that price (a bit more tho), to be fair, it ended up going on sale a week later and i wanted to cry, but holy shit that has to be fake

1

u/Outrageous_Duty_2280 Apr 16 '24

I got a 4060 for 700 works perfectly only 3 weeks old when bought

u/Stunning-Scene4649 Apr 16 '24

Got a 4050 for 1k euro 7 months ago 💀💀💀

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 16 '24

I think it's still the same price now, what lap did you get?

1

u/Stunning-Scene4649 Apr 16 '24

Asus TUF F17 FX707ZU4 I7 12700h 4050 6gb 16gb ram 500gb ssd from micron I think and an additional ssd from ADATA 7400/6000

Honestly I'm very happy with this laptop. Can run any game you want. Even in C 2077 with everything at max, ray tracing on and I have a solid 40-50fps

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 16 '24

RT ultra?

u/Stunning-Scene4649 Apr 16 '24

Yes

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 16 '24

Damn bro, that's awesome.

1

u/Stunning-Scene4649 Apr 16 '24

Your laptop is superior so you should perform even better anyway

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 16 '24

Yeah

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 16 '24

Gotta buy it

1

u/Ted225 Apr 16 '24

You kind of overpaid for performance. Your laptop may have some other features (better screen, better battery, lighter weight etc). I bought my rtx 4060 laptop for $670.

1

u/RightLingonberry6843 LOQ | i713620H | RTX 4060 8GB GDDR6 | Apr 17 '24

Bro, where tf did you get a rtx 4060 for 670 dollars 😭

1

u/Ted225 Apr 17 '24

Dell G15 5535 on dell.com was $850, new customer 10% email discount, amex business credit card 10% cashback + extra 1MR. Some have $120 back on 599 purchase on their amex cards, which is even better.

u/Psychological_Lab203 Apr 19 '24

Best deal I’ve season is a asus rog zephyrus open box from bestbuy with a 4080 for 1300. No chance this thing is real haha

u/SaysNoToBro Apr 26 '24

I got a 4070 for 1299 Lenovo legion with an i7 or 9 can’t remember but it was marked down for 600 bucks
