Best Laptop Deal of the Day: $250 Off a Budget-Minded Lenovo Gaming Laptop

Here’s another gaming laptop deal coming in hot! The LOQ is Lenovo’s budget line, and this configuration is hard to beat. And just because you’re gaming on a budget doesn’t mean you have to play on a proverbial potato. This laptop will do a serviceable job at 1080p gaming for all but the most demanding games and is a perfect fit for casual gamers and those just looking to hop into Fortnite or Minecraft for their daily play session.

There’s enough power under the hood of this Lenovo LOQ to run many titles, though you’ll need to invest a bit more cash if you’re looking for maximum settings in the latest releases. The Ryzen 5 CPU can handle multitasking when paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB is the baseline for storage given how much data gaming takes up nowadays. Our expert reviewed a similar Lenovo LOQ 15 configuration and said, “Lenovo’s budget-minded LOQ 15 is easy to type on and competent for 1080p play.” Those on the market for a showstopper of a gaming laptop, a la Alienware, will want to skip this one, but those looking for a competent device to do some gaming will get the most bang for their buck.
