Lenovo LOQ – ₹1,04,990

Lenovo’s LOQ 15IRH8 targets budding e-sports players and creators by pairing Intel’s 10-core / 16-thread Core i7-13620H (up to 4.9 GHz) with an 8 GB GeForce RTX 4060 that can draw up to 140 W via a MUX switch, so AAA titles hold triple-digit frames on the 15.6-inch IPS display that refreshes at 144 Hz, reaches 350 nits and supports G-SYNC. Sixteen GB DDR5-4800 RAM and a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD keep Windows 11 snappy, while a spare M.2 slot awaits future upgrades. Dual-fan, four-heat-pipe cooling borrowed from the Legion line lets the CPU-GPU combo sustain high clocks without throttling, and a 60 Wh battery gives roughly three to four hours of light use before the 170 W brick is needed. Despite the power headroom, the Storm-Grey chassis stays backpack-friendly at 2.4 kg and 25 mm thick, and you get plenty of I/O at the rear: USB-C 10 Gb/s with 140 W PD and DP 1.4, two USB-A 10 Gb/s, USB-A 5 Gb/s, HDMI 2.1, RJ-45, plus a flank USB-A and 3.5 mm jack. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.1 keep pings low in crowded dorms, while the full-size 4-zone RGB keyboard and Nahimic speakers round out a ₹1,04,990 package that undercuts many RTX 4060 rivals.
