    780M is so good that it makes the 3050 6GB look a bit redundant. Dedicated VRAM is nice though.

    • jace88 on 18/05/2024 - 13:23

      That’s what I was thinking. At that point may as well just go for integrated graphics only.

      • Pedrohustler on 19/05/2024 - 08:53

        Not with 16GB RAM though, which as Yuri says is why having the 6GB of dedicated VRAM is useful.
        I have a Lenovo Yoga 7 with AMD 7735 with 680M and 16GB. Running graphic heavy games pushes it right up to the 16GB RAM limit very easily.

        Good deal here nonetheless! Watch out for the lack of USB 4.0 here, which I find makes all the difference if you are using your laptop to connect to 4K monitors.

        • jace88 on 20/05/2024 - 10:57

          Of course graphics heavy games will push it and dedicated VRAM is not going to go amiss in this bracket, but with expectations in check, the 780M is surprisingly solid for iGPU and this would perform similarly to an ASUS ROG Ally. The point I was getting at though is if you're going to the trouble of including a discrete graphics card and all that entails in a laptop form factor, you may as well get a more substantial bump in performance.

        • jdhau on 31/05/2024 - 15:46

          Yep. I have a Yoga 7 14 ARB7 and often find it gets a little unstable running heavy games. But the 680M is an excellent iGPU. I'm still to this day amazed that it can squeeze a stable 60FPS out of COD MW3 on low settings. If you're willing to settle for 30FPS you can event jack it up to medium.

      • tjoy on 19/05/2024 - 09:32

      Is the RAM soldered or upgradable/any empty slot to add?

      Which laptop are you talking about?

      You obviously haven't read the post if you're talking about this Lenovo…

      11th Gen Intel was terrible afaik. Buy anything after 11th gen.

      • Twisty on 18/05/2024 - 11:24

        Yer but I’m just wanting to know what would be the better way to play games if you didn’t mind the size factor seeing they are both portable

        • Jimothy Wongingtons on 18/05/2024 - 11:30
          +5

          portable

          Iunno how practical it is to have a laptop in the dunny for an extended 9-9.45am ‘monday meeting’

        • ATangk on 18/05/2024 - 11:32

          If the laptop is an option just take that. M+K works better on a lot of games, but controller support is nice too.

          • Twisty on 18/05/2024 - 11:36

            @ATangk: The thing is I don’t know a lot about them and I’m not gonna be playing games on the go like on the toilet or the buss etc but they are both portable if the sense I can take them to different rooms or on holidays etc

            I’m just looking at something to play my free games I get on steam, epic store, GOG etc along with playing some other games like Ghost of Tsushima and Fortnite.

            • ATangk on 18/05/2024 - 12:41

              @Twisty: I have a rog ally, but despite its hardware I find I’m only playing very simple/casual games on it. When I need accuracy I’ll end up plugging in a mouse and keyboard, and at that time the screen then becomes limiting.

              So in the end it depends on the kinds of games you want to play.

  • TurnipHead on 18/05/2024 - 11:21

    Now if only this had a better screen…

    • tjoy on 19/05/2024 - 09:56
      +1

      What is wrong with the screen? RTX 3050 is best suited for FHD gaming, I don't think it can hold 60fps at QHD or get more than 144fps FHD in popular games.
      If you are eyeing it for productivity, you're prob looking at the wrong laptop series, LoQ os mainly aimed at gamers.

      That being said Lenovo website had the option to customize some LoQ models, including display

  • kaikor on 18/05/2024 - 11:41

    Wait till someone going to say 3050 is trash, nothing can beat the same price Nitro 16 with 4050 before at the same price, by next month EOFY sale bet this will go below $1k

    • ldd-mn on 18/05/2024 - 19:55

      Well they wouldn't be wrong, the 3050 is bad. It's 2024's GTX 1650 for gaming laptops.

      • tjoy on 19/05/2024 - 09:22
        +1

        GTX 1650 is one of the most popular GPUs ever for a reason. A lot of people have budgets and they care about prize. The 6GB 3050 can maintain 60fps in a lot of games with medium - high settings.
        LoQ is for people on a budget

  • tellhimhesdreaming on 18/05/2024 - 11:47

    Far out this is solid, wish it was 3060 though!

    Very tempting…

    I bought this from last month's post. I upgraded it to 32Gb Ram and 2Tb SSD. Works great and fast. I use it for complex data modelling with large data files as well as CAD. One of the few well priced laptops with upgradeable RAM, decent provessing speed and graphics processing. Haven't tested the battery yet as I keep it plugged in at my desk. Hasn't got an IR camera so need to manually login and can't use facial recognition. Overall it is great for what i need and very good pricing compared to what elese I have seen.

    • kaikor on 18/05/2024 - 11:57

      How is the screen? bright enough? If comes with QHD+ even better

      • LuvzABargain on 18/05/2024 - 12:48

        Its birght enough for me in my study. I use a large external display with the laptop as a secondary display.

      • bcYield on 18/05/2024 - 15:37

          • ldd-mn on 18/05/2024 - 13:10

            @Twisty: You could install Windows on your Steam Deck

      • tjoy on 19/05/2024 - 09:28

        Bought it for a frnd, we played Ghost Recon Breakpoint, GTA 5 etc on it together and didn't hear any complaints from them so far.
        It holds more than 60fps on medium - high settings
        Haven't tried any of the latest games though

        P.S I bought the intel variant https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/p/laptops/loq-laptops/lenovo-lo…

        to do TRS you need a receipt with your name which matches your passport Australian business number etc and needs to within 60 days before your flight

  • rebel77 on 22/05/2024 - 14:35

    hi.. would this work as a regular Uni laptop for a student studying business.. in terms of the specs, compatibility with regular software etc. etc.

    • BadGiraffe on 22/05/2024 - 21:58

      That and more. But personally, if you're going to be travelling with a laptop, I'd go for something more durable like a ThinkPad.

      Don't let that stop you. For the price, this looks like a solid laptop.

      Picked one up. It's chonky but powerful as heck.
