Lenovo has expanded its gaming portfolio with the introduction of new Lenovo LOQ laptops, a LOQ Tower, and two Legion gaming monitors, giving gamers at the beginning of their gaming journeys more accessible ways to enter PC gaming and build toward their ambitions.
The new lineup includes:
- Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IPH11 — Powered by Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processors and integrated Intel Arc graphics with unified memory architecture, it dynamically allocates system memory where it is needed most for gaming, streaming, or creative applications.
- Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IRH11 — Featuring Intel Core 200 series processors and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Laptop GPU, this configuration gives first-time gamers a dedicated-graphics laptop suited for gaming, schoolwork, and everyday multitasking.
- Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRH11 — Equipped with up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPUs, up to 32GB¹ of 5600MT/s DDR5 memory, and Easy Upgrade Access, the gaming tower is designed to grow alongside players as their needs and ambitions evolve.
- Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 Monitors — These 27-inch displays offer two distinct gaming paths: QHD at 320Hz² for competitive speed, or Dual Mode on the 27U-20, which switches between UHD at 180Hz² and FHD at 360Hz² for maximum responsiveness and flexibility.
Lenovo’s gaming portfolio is designed to empower players at every level to chase—and eventually reach—their “Impossible,” whether their ambitions lie in esports, education, game design, or wherever their passion for gaming takes them.
At the entry level, LOQ provides an accessible gateway into PC gaming, with LOQ Essential configurations representing the most accessible offerings in the LOQ lineup. As gamers progress, Legion delivers more advanced gaming laptops, desktops, displays, and peripherals for enthusiasts, creators, and competitive players whose performance requirements continue to grow.
Lenovo’s Legion Gaming Monitors carry the same philosophy, offering a broad selection of display technologies, sizes, and resolutions designed to help players get the most from their games and gaming setups.
The company’s commitment to gaming also extends beyond its products and into the global esports arena. As an official Founding Partner of the Esports World Cup, Lenovo is supporting leading esports athletes with top-tier Legion gaming hardware as they pursue their own Impossible during the championship rounds of the world’s largest esports competition.
But Lenovo’s gaming portfolio is not only built for players competing at the highest levels. Every gamer starts somewhere, and the new LOQ Essential devices announced today occupy the most accessible end of the LOQ lineup, giving new Windows 11 PC gamers the practical features and performance they need to begin chasing their own Impossible.
“Lenovo’s broad gaming portfolio is designed to support every player, regardless of where they are in their gaming journey,” said Jun Ouyang, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Consumer Segment, Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group. “While Legion delivers the advanced performance sought by enthusiasts and competitive players, LOQ gives new PC gamers a practical way to begin with confidence. That commitment to enabling every gamer to ‘Reach Their Impossible’ is also reflected in Lenovo’s role as a Founding Partner of the Esports World Cup, where Legion hardware is supporting gaming at the highest competitive levels.”
Unified Power, Built to Move — The Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IPH11
Designed for students who want a single PC that can transition seamlessly between class, content creation, and gaming, the Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IPH11 takes a new approach to accessible gaming performance.
At its core is a unified memory architecture that allows the Intel® Core™ Ultra Series 3 processor and built-in Intel Arc™ graphics to share a common pool of high-speed system memory. Instead of restricting graphics workloads to a fixed amount of dedicated video memory, the system can dynamically allocate available memory according to where it is needed.
This helps deliver fluid performance across multiplayer games, supported AAA titles, streaming, and creative applications. Built-in Intel Arc graphics also provide hardware-accelerated ray tracing and Intel XeSS AI-powered upscaling to enhance visuals and help increase frame rates, while the dedicated NPU enables local AI processing for supported applications and workloads.
The efficient integrated design also reduces the additional power draw and thermal load typically associated with a discrete GPU, enabling up to 21 hours of battery life³ while helping the system remain cooler and quieter throughout the day.
Gameplay and everyday productivity come alive on the 15.3-inch 16:10 display, available with up to a 165Hz refresh rate² and 100% sRGB color coverage for smooth motion, accurate color, and additional vertical screen space.
Now 10% lighter and slimmer than its predecessor, the chassis is designed to fit easily into a backpack. Thunderbolt™ 4 support enables 65W–100W USB-C charging for convenient top-ups and a lighter everyday carry, while dual memory and SSD slots provide additional room for upgrades as gaming libraries and ambitions expand.
Built by Masters, Born to Begin — The Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IRH11
The Lenovo LOQ Essential 15IRH11 delivers the same core LOQ Essential promise of dependable gaming performance in an Intel-based gaming package.
It combines Intel Core 200 series processors with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 3050 Laptop GPUs, giving first-time gaming laptop buyers a familiar entry point into dedicated-graphics gaming while also supporting schoolwork and everyday multitasking.
The 15.3-inch 16:10 display features up to a 165Hz refresh rate² and 100% sRGB coverage, helping keep gameplay smooth while delivering clear and vibrant visuals.
Like its sibling, the 15IRH11 is 10% lighter and slimmer than its predecessor, making it easier to carry between school, home, and gaming sessions.
Custom transparent purple accent keys add a distinct gamer touch to the design, while the rest of the system maintains an understated and practical aesthetic suitable for everyday use.
Ready to Play, Easy to Grow — The Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRH11
For new PC gamers who want desktop-level performance without the complexity of building a system from scratch, the Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRH11 delivers a ready-to-play gaming PC with room to evolve.
Powered by Intel Core 200 series processors and up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPUs, the tower is designed to provide the smooth and consistent performance needed for AAA gaming, streaming, and everyday multitasking.

Up to 32GB of 5600MT/s DDR5 memory¹ helps keep games and background applications responsive, while tool-less Easy Upgrade Access makes it easier to add or replace components as requirements change.
A PCIe Gen4 SSD option, additional internal storage expansion, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity provide a practical foundation for a growing game library and a more connected gaming setup.
To help maintain performance under demanding workloads, the LOQ Tower 17IRH11 features a concealed air-duct design for quieter cooling, along with selectable thermal modes that allow users to balance acoustics and performance.
Its dual-tone Raven Black and Luna Grey design gives the tower a cleaner, more contemporary appearance, while Legion Space and Nahimic by SteelSeries complement the gaming experience with software and audio support.
For gamers taking their first step into desktop gaming, the LOQ Tower 17IRH11 combines dependable AAA gaming performance with the flexibility to expand over time.
Clarity or Speed? Choose Both — The Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 Monitors
Rounding out Lenovo’s latest gaming lineup are the Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 Monitors, giving players two ways to bring greater speed, clarity, and control to their gaming setups.
Both feature 27-inch Lenovo PureSight Fast IPS displays, competition-ready response times, rich color, and adaptive refresh technologies⁴. Whether players prioritize sustained competitive speed or want the flexibility to move between high-resolution immersion and fast-paced gameplay, the new displays are designed to accommodate different gaming styles.
“Gaming monitors are a key part of how players experience performance, immersion and control,” said George Toh, Vice President and General Manager, Visuals Business, Lenovo’s Intelligent Devices Group. “The Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 expand our gaming display portfolio, giving gamers the right balance of speed, resolution and responsiveness for the way they play, whether they are focused on competitive titles or more visually rich worlds.”
Built for players who want speed without sacrificing visual detail, the Legion 27Q-20 Monitor features a QHD (2560 × 1440) display with a native 320Hz refresh rate², a 1ms GtG response time, and 0.5ms MPRT².
Support for AMD FreeSync Premium, Adaptive Sync, and NVIDIA G-SYNC® Compatible helps reduce tearing and stutter during fast-paced action. Focus View creates a concentrated 24.5-inch competitive viewport with darkened side borders for players who prefer the screen format commonly used in tournament play.
The Legion 27U-20 Monitor gives players greater flexibility by allowing them to choose the display experience that best fits each game.
Its Dual Mode display can operate at UHD (3840 × 2160) resolution and 180Hz² for detailed, immersive gaming worlds, or switch to FHD resolution at 360Hz² when maximum speed and responsiveness become the priority.
Picture-in-Picture and Picture-by-Picture support allows content from multiple sources to be displayed simultaneously, while the integrated USB hub provides additional connectivity for peripherals and other devices.
Both monitors cover 99% of the sRGB and 95% of the DCI-P3 color spaces, with factory-calibrated Delta E < 2 color accuracy. VESA DisplayHDR™ 400 certification, 400-nit brightness, and support for 1.07 billion colors add greater depth to highlights, shadows, and environmental details across games and other visual content.
Through Legion Space, players can also access AI-powered gaming tools such as AI Crosshair and Game Companion for supported competitive scenarios, alongside AI Walkthrough and Win-Moment Show, which are designed to provide assistance and capture memorable moments during play.
