Update2: Lenovo has replaced motherboard and looks fine now
Update (the review at the end is after 2-3 weeks of usage).
Laptop started crashing since a week, however it was getting restarted.
3 days back (<2 months of usage), it crashed completely and not starting up. Filed a ticket to lenovo same day, some automated emails as of now, will update once I get it resolved.
———————————————————
Bought it in Prime day sale @60k with card discounts. At this price it is very good machine.
1. Performance (5/5)
At this price, can’t ask for anything more, both CPU/GPU are too good. Overall very fast responsive PC. I haven’t tried ultra high graphics settings, but seems like 1080p gaming should run smooth. Ex. CS2 gives 200 FPS at default high settings in 1080p.
2. Battery (2/5)
I ran a 480p video with battery saver on, ran for ~1.5h from 100% battery. There is a “Quite mode” also, but it is unusable, makes PC very slow, videos also lag.
And yes, battery drains (when connected) even with normal games. So I charge it atleast 50%, then can play for ~2 hours easily.
3. Portability (2/5)
This is a major issue with this. If you want to carry this regularly, checkout ideapad or some other laptop. This is very bulky, and charger is heavy too (plus cant take it without charger). Not for daily carriage.
I wont even recommend putting it on lap for long. Basically, use it like a desktop.
4. Boot Time (5/5)
Start up, shut down both ~5 seconds
5. Display (3/5)
Not very crisp, brightness is also little less.
6. Keyboard/Touchpad (4/5)
7. Initial setup (5/5)
Some people have mentioned that they needed to re-install windows and all, I just did the windows update, and everything is fine.
8. Looks (3/5)
I usually like simple look, but this is pretty boring for a gaming laptop.
9. Built (5/5)
Sturdy build. Very confident that nominal heat or impact wont cause issues.
Other issues:
1. Warranty was already used up for 1-2 months when I got it, maybe this is a returned product, but I didn’t find any other issue, so kept it.
2. Sometimes the power button doesn’t turn red/while when we toggle between performance/balanced mode.

I bought this laptop after my Asus tuf laptop of 3 years old suddenly died with moderate usage. I’ve been using this laptop for just 2 days and have only tested one game(God of War 2018) at the time of writing this review.
Pros:1. It is one of the most affordable rtx 3050 laptops. Most laptops at this price range come with gtx 1650 cards. RTX cards have DLSS support, which greatly boosts FPS and enhances gaming experience.
2. Good built and design. I personally love the minimalistic design language of this laptop. There is no screen wobbling, and the typing experience isn’t bad either.
Cons: 1.This laptop comes with 16 gb ram, but there is only one ram slot, so there is no room for a future upgrade. Also a missed opportunity for dual channel ram.
2. Below average battery life, but it isn’t much of an issue for me because I always use my laptop plugged in for better performance and gaming.
3. Only two USB ports while the competition gives at least 3 ports.
All in all, this is still a good choice in its price segment despite its flaws.

Laptop is amazing but sound from me internal speakers is pathetic. I cannot listen to what’s playing on it. I have to connect a Bluetooth speaker to listen to the sound. Performance wise it’s excellent, so is the screen quality

I played a lot of in my laptop like RDR 2 , tekken 7 , gta v , TLOU part 1 , wwe 2k24 , uncharted 4 , cricket 24 ,etc.
It provides awesome graphics in each game

I purchased the Lenovo LOQ i5 12th Gen Laptop for 59k in August, and I’m absolutely furious with this so-called “spec king.” What a colossal disappointment!
Despite the impressive specs on paper, this laptop is a total letdown. I was hoping for a reliable productivity machine capable of handling office tasks and moderate video editing—but instead, I got a piece of junk that fails miserably on both fronts.
Battery Life: The battery backup barely lasts two hours under normal office conditions at 50% brightness. This is utterly unacceptable.
Portability Issues: The laptop itself is incredibly heavy, making it a burden to carry around. To add insult to injury, the charger is a brick-like monstrosity weighing around a kilo.
Durability: After only six months of use, the webcam has already stopped working due to a hardware issue. This kind of failure in such a short period is inexcusable.
I’ve learned my lesson the hard way: never buy laptops online without seeing them in person first. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this laptop at all costs. I do not recommend this device to anyone looking for performance and reliability.
