Tell them the price, son!
sry, fully forgot !
How much was it before ?
Anyone know how long this goes for?
I see it says Black Friday sale but that doesn't mean much as it's only November and Christmas seems like it's everywhere.
i sent an email to officeworks to ask them
This is 12th gen cpu
less problematic than 13 or 14?
Cooler
Apparently the issues are only with desktop CPUs.
If you checkout reddit, millions of post about LOQ dead mobo there.
The photos there showing kind of a new exterior design? The LOQ logo is right in the middle of the lid now.
Yes, this is new Model. Only released in Sept, 2024. https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/LOQ_15IAX9E?M=83LK0010AU
Stock check showing none of the stores actually stocking this, and seems only can buy online with NSW exclusive only, a bit funny for such a new model …
I heard there are issues with dead MOBOs with the Intel variants of the LOQ. Not sure if it's this Intel generation though.
looks like the square lenovo power plug, not usb-c ? also the graphics chip says 65w that what will drain battery and kick in the fan.
Noob question, what is the key difference between this and non gaming lenovo laptop?
If you are planning to get a new laptop for occasion gaming 30% of time and 70% surfing which is better?The dedicated graphics card (the 3050) is usually the difference, especially at this price. But it's about to be 2 generations old, better than Intel ARC and most AMD graphics though, but it will suck power on battery as well, so it's a bit of a tradeoff
Biggest cons for gaming laptops are usually form factor(bigger and heavier), battery life (shorter due to components used), and sometimes the screen (focus on fast refresh rates, over resolution or contrast at the price point).
There are some really good options with integrated graphics being released right now and after Xmas which provide a balance of basic gaming, but without the cons above (to a certain extent regarding battery life while gaming).
3050 is gross tbf.
Yeah so even at this price is not quite a bargain, maybe $697 will be a good buy
Got a better gaming laptop for this price or cheaper?
It's hit this price before for this spec, but still a good price for the 3050 6GB relative to other models that are generally worse (eg lower power limit, so worse performance, lower quality chassis etc).
Is this one of best laptop for playing triple AAA tittles on high resolution with 60fps? Will this run better than any LG gram?
Depends on the game, settings, and resolution.
Ultimately the RTX 3050 is around entry level, but it can still run modern games fairly well at low-med settings 1080p. Again depends on the game, lighter weight titles go ok with higher settings too. Best bet is to check some benchmarks/gameplay on the hardware you're thinking of getting and seeing how it does.
Can play like cyber punk with no issues with lower settings?
Yes.
Most games these days are still designed to run on 11-year-old PS4 (Geforce 700 era) hardware. I think a 3050 from 2022 is going to cope fine lol.
Just setting expectations, but idk I only test gaming laptops full time for the last few years so I probably don't know hehe
How much VRAM? I thought the 3050 is only 4GB?
Nah, this models 6gb
Hmm, according to Wikipedia, the 6GB version has a lower 96-bit bus width compared with 128-bit for the 4GB version. This would indicate lesser performance? See:
83LK0010AU
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6, Boost Clock 1432MHz, TGP 65W, 142 AI TOPS
15.6" FHD (1920x1080) IPS 300nits Anti-glare, 100% sRGB, 144Hz
1x 16GB SO-DIMM DDR5-4800
One DDR5 SO-DIMM slot
Up to 32GB DDR5-4800
135W Slim Tip (3-pin) Power AdapterGood:
Display does not suck and is the best you could expect at this price pointBorderline:
65W TGP means you lose 10% FPS compared to a full 95W model
135W power adapter means Lenovo have cut every single corner right to the edgeBad:
Single RAM slot, you need to chuck out the old stick if you decide to go 32GB
Could be related to 12th Gen's weak memory controllerI've never come across a LOQ that is single RAM slot, source on this?
