Below you can read and submit user reviews, questions, and answers about the Lenovo LOQ Essential 83LK0001US. Thank you for your contribution.

  1. Question

    graham –

    Walmart sells it for $500 on Black Friday sale. Is this a good deal?

    • Dan –

      It is a good deal given you get a laptop with a dedicated video card, 144Hz screen, and very good Core i5 HX series CPU. But, for the same money, Lenovo on Black Friday will offer basically the same laptop but with faster Nvidia RTX 3050 graphics: https://laptoping.com/specs/product/lenovo-loq-essential-83lk0000us/

      The only question is whether you will be able to get one of these, since these $500 gaming laptop deals sell out fast. If you don’t grab the 3050 version, the 2050 is still a good deal.
