Looking to pick up a speedy yet affordable gaming laptop with an RTX 4050 GPU? You’ve come to the right place! The Lenovo LOQ 15IRH8 is on sale for $799 at B&H, which is a colossal savings of $510. You don’t see too many gaming laptop deals like this often. Not only is this entry-level gaming laptop capable of blitzing through most games on the Medium or High graphics preset, but it also has a 1080p webcam as well as a backlit keyboard.
This specific model comes with an Intel Core i7-13700H CPU, the aforementioned Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050 GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of SSD storage. You can also add more RAM and replace the SSD if need be. The upgradeability factor is awesome because it allows you to extend the life of your machine. It also has G-Sync, which synchronizes the display’s refresh rate to the GPU, resulting in smoother visuals. This is important when playing faster paced titles, as it reduces the likelihood of stuttering issues. Finally, the 15.6-inch 1080p display has a 144Hz refresh rate, further adding to the fluidity of the picture.
This is a killer deal — RTX-powered gaming laptops almost never get cheaper than this. Snatch it up before it’s gone!
