Lenovo’s RTX 4060 gaming laptop is a bargain now that it’s $849

If you need a rocket of a laptop, it’s going to cost you a pretty penny. So what do you do if you have a tight budget but still need a laptop powerful enough to handle daily tasks, some streaming, and some gaming? You wait for a deal like this—right now, you can get the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 for just $849 at B&H (was $1,100).

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.
