Choose the Lenovo LOQ 16i if you're looking for a laptop that's generally less expensive while still offering robust performance for everyday tasks, gaming, and engineering work. It's equipped with an Intel i7-13620H processor, which provides strong multitasking capabilities and efficient performance. The Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU is capable of handling gaming and creative tasks well. Opt for the Lenovo LOQ 16 if you're willing to spend a bit more for potentially better performance in certain scenarios, as it features an AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS processor. This could translate to snappier responsiveness when dealing with heavy workloads or complex computations. Both laptops offer similar battery life, portability, and display quality, so your choice ultimately comes down to processor preference and budget considerations. Give Feedback

Christian Hintze | September 2023
"Gaming laptops with an RTX 4060 are available starting from about 1,000 Euros (~$1,060), even in 16-inch format. For the supposedly affordable Lenovo LOQ 16 (1,500 Euros, ~$1,591), the manufacturer particularly saves in the equipment and materials compared to the more expensive Legion series. In addition, the LOQ is slightly heavier and more bulky. What remains is anything but a laptop full of difficult compromises. Instead, this is a more than solid gaming laptop that focusses on the 3D performance.Q is slightly heavier and more bulky."
