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 T14s Gen 4

Strengths

The Ryzen chips are absolutely fantastic, providing a much needed boost in single core score
The onboard Graphics is truly excellent for most people's everyday needs, especially in an office environment
USB 4 on these laptops allows you to put a thunderbolt dock or high-speed storage, making it a one-laptop solution for heavy work needs
The laptop runs so quietly even when gaming, with fan noise topping out at about 42 DB
The battery life is excellent, with 11 hours and 21 minutes of streaming YouTube over Wi-Fi at 200 nits of brightness
The Ryzen chips make the laptop feel much snappier
The onboard Graphics handles everyday tasks like light video editing and 3D modeling well
The laptop has a compact charger that comes with it, and you can also charge it with your monitors or docks PD

Weaknesses

Battery life is not quite as good as last year's model, at just over 12 hours
The T14s is slightly more expensive than the T14
The laptop does not have an RJ45 port like the T14
It's a bit heavier and fatter than the T14
You may not need the USB 4 on this model, especially if you're just using it for office work
The fan noise can be slightly higher when running demanding tasks
The laptop's single core performance boost is not as massive as some might have hoped
The T14s may not be the best choice if you don't need USB 4 and are okay with a bit more weight

Lenovo LOQ 15
