The Lenovo LOQ 16i offers superior performance for demanding tasks like gaming, 3D rendering, and engineering work due to its powerful processor and dedicated graphics card, making it a versatile choice for both work and play. It also has a higher resolution display with better color accuracy, a faster refresh rate for smoother visuals, and a more robust build quality. However, it's heavier and less portable than the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14". The Cloudbook, on the other hand, is more budget-friendly and significantly more portable, making it ideal for general use and everyday tasks like web browsing and office applications. Its battery life is also decent for typical usage. But, it compromises on performance, display quality, and hardware features like touchscreen, backlit keyboard, and advanced security options. If you need a laptop for intensive tasks and can handle the extra weight, the Lenovo is the way to go. If you prioritize portability and have basic computing needs, the Packard Bell Cloudbook 14" is a suitable, cost-effective option. 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."
