For a balance of performance and portability with a focus on engineering tasks and some gaming, the Lenovo LOQ 16i is a solid choice, offering a powerful Intel i7 processor and dedicated Nvidia RTX 4050 graphics within a reasonably compact frame. Its higher refresh rate and ample connectivity options, including Thunderbolt ports, make it versatile for various demanding applications. However, if you prioritize a superior display with vibrant colors and higher resolution, along with exceptional battery life and a highly portable design, the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Edge 14 with its OLED screen and long-lasting battery would be the way to go. It's also a 2-in-1, offering the flexibility of a tablet. Keep in mind that the Samsung's Qualcomm Snapdragon processor may not match the raw power of the Lenovo's Intel chip for intensive tasks, but it excels in efficiency and supports always-on connectivity.

NotebookCheck

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."
