It's not the first time we've covered a deal for this exact laptop, and it's easy to see why. The LOQ 15IRX9 has a solid configuration with a decent retail price, but it's a real winner when it's steeply discounted. This is a 15.6-inch laptop with a beautiful IPS display, a 1080p resolution that looks great, and a 144Hz refresh rate that's necessary for a smooth, immersive gaming experience at higher frame rates.
And this laptop will be able to push those higher frame rates—at least on modest game settings—thanks to the included GeForce RTX 4060 graphics card. This is a fantastic laptop GPU if price-performance is your main concern, and it's not common to see it in laptops in this price range. On top of that, you get an Intel Core i5 CPU, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and an adequate 512GB SSD. These specs are far from top-of-the-line, but they're enough for Windows 11 and daily operation without choking.
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 is an affordable gaming laptop option, especially when it's on sale for just $849. That said, if you're willing to spend more for something that's crème de la crème, check out our picks for the best laptops as chosen by our experts.

Instead, Microsoft has eliminated the lowest-priced 13.8-inch Surface Laptop offering from its website. Last May, you could buy a 13.8-inch Surface Laptop, in Platinum, with 16GB of RAM and 256GB of SSD storage, for $999, according to the price list Microsoft provided us. Now, the cheapest 13.8-inch Surface Laptop is a Black model but with 16GB of RAM and a larger 512GB SSD instead, with an MSRP of $1,199.99 — but one of those models, too, has been marked down to a discounted $1,031.47.
