Pros and Cons

Lenovo LOQ 15

Strengths

Lenovo's LOQ 15 is still a great budget friendly gaming laptop compared to what alternatives offer at this price point.
The Nvidia config having both G-Sync and Advanced Optimus
The visual design changes are only small, but are welcome improvements.
The black keyboard is a bit easier to see, the new power button design is brighter
Not having hot air blowing on your mouse hand is always welcome, especially when thermals were otherwise fine.
The extra upgradeability by now supporting two double sided SSDs is nice too.
Lenovo's BIOS has a lot of extra options that many other laptops like ASUS, Razer and Acer simply do not have.

Weaknesses

The battery drain due to the smaller 170 watt charger isn't ideal
The Arc laptop has worse performance in games
Worse battery life while running a game
Less VRAM on the GPU
No advanced optimus so you have to reboot, and Intel's driver support is still playing catch up compared to Nvidia
The Arc version feels a bit pointless since it costs $50 more than the Nvidia version for similar performance
The left side being blank and moving its ports to the right is an odd design choice

Lenovo ThinkPad P16s Gen 3

Strengths

The Intel Core Ultra 7155H processor delivers the performance needed for heavy multitasking, compute-intensive workloads, and future-ready AI-enhanced tools.
The Nvidia RTX500 GPU is a workstation-class graphics card designed specifically for creative and technical professionals with support for CUDA, AI acceleration, ray tracing, and ISV certifications.
The 16in 4K UHD OLED display offers stunning resolution, rich contrast, deep blacks, and accurate color reproduction, perfect for creative work, detailed visuals, and high-end media consumption.
