This $880 RTX gaming laptop is the best Cyber Monday deal I've seen in all my hours of scouting Black Friday pages.
I was looking to see if there were any Cyber Monday deals that would allow me to beat the $930 price of this HP RTX gaming laptop. And lo and behold, it is possible. Enter the Lenovo LOQ at $880.
This is the cheapest RTX gaming laptop you can buy at the moment. At least, that's what I've seen, and I am trying hard to find something else. This weekend, it's my job. It's important to note that I am not perfect and I suggest you look at or some of our other Cyber Week gaming laptop deals. You may find something better.
To give you more information about this machine, here are the full product specifications (Walmarts aren't the best).
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 mobile (115 W)
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS (8c/16t)
- RAM: 8 GB DDR5-4800
- SSD: PCIe 4.0x4 512 GB SSD (2x NVMe slots in total--1x 2240, 1x 2242)
- Screen:15.6 inch, 144 Hz 1080p IPS
- USB ports: 1x USB Type-C (10 Gbps) + 3x USB Type-A (5 Gbps)
The RTX mobile 4070 is the obvious highlight, and at this price it is a real surprise. For this price, you're more likely to find the RTX 4060. However, the RTX 4070 has 50% more CUDA Cores.
Lenovo limits the RTX-4070's TDP to 115 W. I don't see any mention in the specs of Dynamic Boost allowing for a further power boost, as it is the case in some other models. I'd expect solid performance from this model.
I would not want to gloss over Ryzen 7 7435HS either. This eight-core AMD chip is a high-performance design that comes from a great mobile generation. It's a bit older, but it's still not far behind the more recent models.
We have gathered all the best Cyber Monday PC gaming offers we could find.
This machine, unlike a Lenovo laptop that I reviewed recently offers two 8GB SO-DIMMs under the hood. This means you get full dual-channel bandwidth, which is enough for gaming. The SO-DIMM slot is easily accessible on the bottom panel if you need a bit more.
Upgrade the SSD on this machine while you're there. The 512 GB included SSD is the weakest part in the LOQ15ARP9. It will quickly fill up once Windows and a few modern games are installed.
The 512 GB SSD is a 2242 form-factor drive, which is compact and slightly unusual. There's also a 2280 NVMe slot available. This is a standard SSD size, so any of the best SSDs will fit.
I believe we have found the best RTX gaming laptop deal of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday season. We're still looking for deals like our lives (or livelihoods!) depend on them. Our Cyber Monday PC gaming deals include everything we find that is worth buying.
