In the meantime, the LOQ Essential 15IRH11 can be purchased with the Core 7 230H, a 10-core processor with 4 E-cores, 6 P-cores and 16 threads. Additionally, Lenovo includes the 4 GB version of Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3050 laptop GPU running at 75 W, including 15 W Dynamic Boost. As a result, the LOQ Essential 15IRH11 will be less powerful than the cheaper LOQ Essential 15IRX11 in many instances (curr. $1,319 on Amazon).
Moreover, Lenovo equips its new budget gaming laptop with 16 GB of DDR5-5200 RAM, a 512 GB M.2 2242 SSD and a 60 Wh battery. Also, the company has included a 1200p IPS display boasting a 165 Hz refresh rate, 300 nits peak brightness, 100% sRGB colour space coverage and an anti-glare coating. The LOQ Essential 15IRH11 can be purchased for CAD 1,910.99 and $1,476.99 in Canada and the US, respectively.
