Lenovo adds LOQ laptops, tower PC, and Legion monitors to gaming lineup

Tech

New Lenovo LOQ Essential laptops, two Legion Monitors, and an LOQ Tower PC aimed at new gamers who want to start their journey.

Lenovo’s broad gaming portfolio is designed to support every player, regardless of where they are in their gaming journey. While Legion delivers the advanced performance sought by enthusiasts and competitive players, LOQ gives new PC gamers a practical way to begin with confidence. That commitment to enabling every gamer to ‘Reach Their Impossible’ is also reflected in Lenovo’s role as a Founding Partner of the Esports World Cup, where Legion hardware is supporting gaming at the highest competitive levels.

LOQ Essential 15IPH11

Lenovo aims this laptop at students who want to study, play, and make content. Due to this, it can comfortably fit into a backpack and supports USB-C charging.

The 15IPH11 is powered by an Ultra Series 3 processor and built-in Intel Arc graphics which can dynamically allocate memory where needed.

The Intel Arc iGPU is capable of hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Intel XeSS AI-powered upscaling.

The LOQ Essential 15IPH11 has room for upgrades on both memory and SSD slots.

LOQ Essential 15IRH11

This form has an Intel Core 200-series processor, but paired with an RTX 3050 Laptop GPU. The 15IRH11 intends to give first-time gaming laptop buyers a “familiar route into dedicated-graphic play, schoolwork, and everyday multitasking.”

This is meant to be a more accessible gaming laptop, and has been made lighter and slimmer than its predecessor. The classic gamer design is present in the custom transparent purple accent keys, while the rest of the laptop remains low-key and practical.

Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRH11

For gamers taking their first step into desktop gaming, the LOQ Tower 17IRH11 delivers dependable AAA-gaming performance and is easy to expand over time.

Don’t worry, though. It features a tool-less “Easy Upgrade Access” making future upgrades, repairs, and maintenance hassle-free. There’s also room to expand the internal storage, just in case the next Call of Duty drops and you need an extra terabyte or two of space.

Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 Monitors

Both are 27-inch displays built on Lenovo’s PureSight Fast IPS technology.

Gaming monitors are a key part of how players experience performance, immersion and control. The Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 expand our gaming
display portfolio, giving gamers the right balance of speed, resolution and responsiveness for the way they play, whether they are focused on competitive titles or more visually rich worlds.

  • George Toh, Vice President and General Manager, Visuals Business, Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group.

The 27Q-20 features a QHD (2560 x 1440) display at 320Hz. It supports AMD FreeSync Premium, Adaptive Sync, and NVIDIA G-Sync. There is also Focus View which darkens the borders for a concentrated, 24.5-inch competitive viewport.

Meanwhile, the 27U-20 is much more flexible. Its Dual Mode display can operate at either UHD (3840 x 2160) at 180Hz, or FHD at 360Hz. It’s completely up to you which one you want more: fidelity, or responsiveness? It also supports Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture, meaning it can display more than one input source at a time.
