Lenovo LOQ Essential laptops and Legion 27-inch monitors launched for first-time PC gamers
The Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IPH11 skips a discrete GPU entirely, pairing Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors with integrated Intel Arc graphics on a unified memory architecture. Lenovo claims up to 21 hours of battery life as a result, plus a cooler, quieter chassis. The most interesting machine in the set is the one without a graphics card. Instead of a fixed slice of video memory, the system pulls from a shared pool as games or creative apps demand it.
The 15IPH11 gets a 15.3-inch 16:10 panel with up to 165Hz refresh and full sRGB coverage, Thunderbolt 4 with 65W to 100W USB-C charging, and dual memory and SSD slots. It is 10 percent lighter and slimmer than the model it replaces. Buyers who want conventional discrete graphics get the LOQ Essential 15IRH11, which runs Intel Core 200 series chips with an RTX 3050 laptop GPU and the same 165Hz display. The LOQ Tower 17IRH11 goes further, offering up to an RTX 5060 Ti, up to 32GB of 5600MT/s DDR5, Wi-Fi 7 and tool-less Easy Upgrade Access for later component swaps.
Intel XeSS upscaling and hardware ray tracing are on board, along with an NPU for local AI tasks.
