Reviews for the Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IAX9E

联想 LOQ Essential 15″(第 9 代,15IAX9E)评测–离完美的经济型游戏仅一步之遥!
Source: Laptopmedia CN
最大和最令人沮丧的妥协是只包含一个内存插槽。这严重限制了未来的内存升级,使用户无法利用双通道配置的优势。电池续航时间也很短,只有 4 个小时,这让这款笔记本电脑只能牢牢地拴在电源插座上。此外,单个 USB-C 端口严重瘫痪,只能提供数据传输,不支持视频输出或供电。虽然主机箱很坚固,但显示屏盖子有明显的弯曲,买家应注意键盘背光是可选的额外功能,而不是标准功能。如果与采用类似 GPU 的戴尔 Inspiron 5630(详细评测)等竞争对手相比,LOQ 15 的理念就会变得非常清晰。戴尔可能会提供两倍以上的电池续航时间,但它也将GPU的功耗严格限制在30瓦。联想LOQ 15牺牲了不插电的续航时间,但性能却大幅提升了30%以上。这样一来,决定就很简单了:如果你需要一台能坚持上一天课的机器,戴尔是更好的选择。但如果你是一个大部分时间都要插电的游戏玩家,并希望获得绝对物超所值的性能,那么联想 LOQ 15 就是同类产品中无可争议的赢家。

80% I've tested several of the latest budget gaming laptops recently, and the Lenovo LOQ Essential 15 is the best value of them all
Source: Techradar English EN→zh-CN
The LOQ Essential 15 Gen 9 offers fantastic quality for the price. It feels premium, even if its construction isn’t the most sturdy, while the clear and vivid display helps to showcase games in their full glory. However, the lack of graphical power on the low end is likely to disappoint hardcore gamers, as is the keyboard, which is more conducive to productivity than gaming. Regardless of these drawbacks, though, the LOQ Essential 15 Gen 9 is still the strongest budget overall pick given its reasonable price point.

Lenovo LOQ Essential 15″ (Gen 9, 15IAX9E) review – One Flaw Away from Budget Gaming Perfection!
Source: Laptop Media English EN→zh-CN
The Lenovo LOQ Essential 15″ (Gen 9, 15IAX9E) is a masterclass in smart compromises. As its “Essential” name suggests, this laptop strips away the frills to focus on delivering a core gaming experience that punches well above its weight class. It’s a machine designed for the budget-conscious gamer who prioritizes frames-per-second and a great screen over all-day portability and premium materials. While it makes some significant cuts to reach its price point, the areas where it excels make it a genuinely compelling and high-value option for anyone taking their first steps into PC gaming or needing a capable secondary machine. When placed against a rival like the Dell Inspiron 5630 (detailed review) with a similar GPU, the LOQ 15’s philosophy becomes crystal clear. The Dell may offer more than double the battery life, but it is also severely limiting its GPU to just 30W.
