The Lenovo LOQ is Lenovo's 2025 value gaming laptop line, sold in two chassis sizes and three model variants: 15IRX10 (15-inch, Intel), 15AHP10 (15-inch, AMD), and 17IRX10 (17-inch, Intel), part of the 83JG SKU family. It sits below the Legion series as Lenovo's answer for players who want a discrete NVIDIA GPU and a decent panel without paying Legion prices. It was built for students, budget-conscious gamers, and anyone upgrading from an older Ryzen or 10th/11th-gen Intel laptop that can no longer keep up with current titles. Because it ships with current-gen RTX graphics and DDR5 memory, it holds resale value better than most sub-Legion gaming laptops, especially in higher GPU tiers. Pick your screen size, processor, and graphics card in the configuration tool above, choose the condition that matches your unit, and you will get an instant cash offer. See how the process works or head straight to sell your gaming laptop if you already know what you have.

Confirm you have the LOQ

The fastest way to confirm your exact model is on the laptop itself. Go to Settings → System → About and check the "Device specifications" section for the model name. You can also press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and press Enter to see the exact system model listed under "System Model." The sticker on the underside of the chassis also lists the model number and the 83JG serial prefix.

15IRX10 (Intel, 15-inch)

  • 15-inch chassis
  • Intel Core i5 or i7, 13th or 14th generation
  • Paired with NVIDIA RTX 5050, 5060, or 5070

15AHP10 (AMD, 15-inch)

  • 15-inch chassis, same footprint as the 15IRX10
  • AMD Ryzen 5 220 or Ryzen 7 250
  • Paired with NVIDIA RTX 5050, 5060, or 5070

17IRX10 (Intel, 17-inch)

  • 17-inch chassis, larger keyboard deck
  • Intel Core i5 or i7, 13th or 14th generation
  • Paired with NVIDIA RTX 5050, 5060, or 5070

Prefer a visual check? Set the 15-inch and 17-inch models side by side and the difference is obvious in the deck and speaker grilles. The 15AHP10 and 15IRX10 share an identical shell, so the only reliable way to tell an AMD unit from an Intel one is the sticker underneath or the model number in Windows; there is no external badge that names the CPU vendor.

Core hardware configurations

Processor

  • AMD Ryzen 5 220 or Ryzen 7 250 (15AHP10)
  • Intel Core i5 or i7, 13th or 14th generation (15IRX10, 17IRX10)

Graphics

  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

The GPU tier is the single biggest driver of resale value on this line. An RTX 5070 configuration will outvalue an RTX 5050 unit with the same CPU by a wide margin.

Memory & storage

  • DDR5 system memory, dual-channel
  • PCIe NVMe SSD storage

LOQ laptops typically use socketed memory and a replaceable M.2 SSD rather than soldered chips, though you should confirm your exact capacity through Settings → System → About before listing it.

Display & audio

Display

A 15-inch or 17-inch IPS panel depending on chassis, tuned for gaming with a fast refresh rate rather than color accuracy. This is not a touchscreen line.

Audio

Dual downward or side-firing speakers tuned for game audio and voice clarity, with a headphone jack for wired headsets.

Security

Most LOQ configurations include a fingerprint reader built into the power button for Windows Hello sign-in, though this can vary by build.

Ports & connectivity

Port placement is standard for a mid-tier gaming laptop, with enough throughput for an external GPU dock or a high-refresh external monitor.

  • USB-C with DisplayPort support
  • USB-A
  • Headphone/microphone combo jack
Right side / Back
  • HDMI output
  • Additional USB-A ports
  • Ethernet (RJ45)
  • Barrel-style power connector

Battery, build & more

Battery

A multi-cell lithium-polymer battery tuned for gaming sessions rather than all-day unplugged use. Expect shorter runtime under load, as with any RTX-equipped laptop.

Dimensions & weight

The 15-inch models are noticeably lighter and more portable than the 17IRX10, which trades portability for a larger screen and cooling footprint.

Software

Ships with Windows 11 and Lenovo's own utility software for fan curves, lighting, and performance modes.

Market positioning

Positioned as an entry-to-midrange gaming laptop. It competes on GPU tier and price rather than build materials, so resale demand tracks closely with which RTX card is inside.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I find the model number and exact configuration?
Go to Settings → System → About on your laptop and check the device specifications, or press Windows key + R, type msinfo32, and read the "System Model" field. Both will show whether you have the 15IRX10, 15AHP10, or 17IRX10. The sticker on the underside of the chassis lists the same model number along with the serial number, which starts with the 83JG prefix. If Windows won't boot, the underside sticker is your only option, so check it before you assume a configuration.
02 How do I tell it apart from a Lenovo Legion laptop?
Check the model name in Settings → System → About; Legion models will say Legion 5, Legion Pro, or similar, never LOQ. Visually, Legion laptops tend to have more aggressive vent styling and higher-tier displays, but branding on the deck or lid is the most reliable tell since chassis designs can look similar at a glance. If the lid or palm rest reads "LOQ," you have this model, not a Legion.
03 Can I sell it with damage, a weak battery, or if it won't turn on?
Yes. A cracked screen, a battery that drains fast, or a unit that won't power on can still be sold; the condition picker above adjusts the offer for exactly this. Before shipping, you must remove your Microsoft account from the device and sign out completely, since a locked account prevents testing and resale. If the laptop won't boot at all, describe the issue as accurately as possible when you submit the order so the quote reflects it correctly.
04 What raises the trade-in value the most?
GPU tier matters more than any other spec on this line. An RTX 5070 configuration will consistently outvalue an RTX 5050 unit even with an identical CPU. After that, a clean screen with no dead pixels or cracks, a battery that still holds a reasonable charge, and the original charger all help. Cosmetic wear on the lid or deck matters less than functional condition, so a well-used but fully working unit still does well.
05 How do I erase it and remove my accounts, and how do I get paid?
Go to Settings → System → Recovery → Reset this PC, choose "Remove everything," and let it finish before shutting down. Before or during this, remove the device from your Microsoft account by signing out and, if BitLocker is enabled, suspend or decrypt it so the reset completes cleanly. Once it's wiped, ship it to us; shipping is free and insured. We test the unit against your listed condition and pay out by PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, CashApp, or check. Full details are in our data erasure protocols.
