Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IRX11 - Gaming Laptop with RTX 5050 and a 144Hz Display

The LOQ Essential 15IRX11 lands exactly where real gaming performance meets a sensible price. It is built for gamers who want to run modern titles at respectable settings, as well as for students and content creators who need genuine graphics horsepower without stepping up to the premium tier. Pairing an Intel HX-series processor with a next-generation RTX GPU makes it a versatile all-day machine - capable of study, editing and an evening gaming session alike. The grey (Luna Grey) finish gives it a mature, understated look that fits just as well in a classroom or an office.

Power for gaming and work

At the heart of the system sits the 13th-generation Intel Core i5-13450HX, a multi-core HX-series chip originally engineered for heavy workloads. It offers generous reserves for demanding games, video editing, code compilation and aggressive multitasking. Alongside it is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 with 8GB of fast GDDR7 memory, supporting DLSS 4 and the latest generation of ray tracing - so you can enjoy high frame rates and crisp visuals even in the newest titles.

A fast, colourful screen

The 15.6-inch display delivers Full HD (1920x1080) resolution on a quality IPS panel with an anti-glare coating that tames reflections. Its 144Hz refresh rate keeps fast-paced action perfectly smooth, 300 nits of brightness remain comfortable in lit rooms, and full 100% sRGB coverage ensures accurate, vivid colours for editing and viewing alike.

Memory, storage and design

The laptop ships with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD, delivering fast load times for the operating system, games and applications. The cooling layout and 'Eclipse'-style chassis, with a 180-degree hinge and a physical webcam shutter switch, round out a balanced package that respects both your privacy and your budget.
