As part of its Black Friday in July Sale, Lenovo is offering a pretty incredible deal on a Lenovo LOQ Series gaming laptop. You can get one equipped with an RTX 4060 GPU for under $1000 by combining two stackable coupon codes "EXTRA5" and "BUYMORELENOVO". This might be the first time we've ever seen an RTX 4060 laptop priced at under $1K from any vendor, let alone Lenovo.
Lenovo LOQ 16" 2560x1600 (QHD) AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS RTX 4060 Gaming Laptop for $984.99
The LOQ is Lenovo's new lineup of budget-oriend gaming PCs for 2023. They're a lot less expensive than Legion laptops and in return they aren't as well equipped with the most powerful GPUs. However, if you're aiming for something like the RTX 4060, the LOQ offers laptops that are comparable in performance to the Legion. This model, for example, features a 16" 2560x1600 QHD+ 165Hz IPS display, the newest gen AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU, the GeForce RTX 4060 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. The AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS is AMD's newest mobile chip with a boost clock of 5.1GHz and 8 cores and 16 threads. It's comparable to the Ryzen 7 7745HX and Intel Core i7 Raptor Lake CPUs.
How powerful is the RTX 4060 GPU?
Performance-wise, the RTX 4060 mobile GPU sits right in between the RTX 3070 and RTX 3070 Ti. It offers enough power to run games on the native 1600p display with tweaked settings depending on the title. RTX 40 series cards also support DLSS 3.0, which is essentially DLSS 2.0 plus frame generation. For games that support it (like Cyberpunk) this is a massive FPS increase over even DLSS 2.0. In a nutshell, you're getting better than RTX 3070 performance for under $1K.
