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 Yoga 9i 2-in-1 Aura Edition

Strengths

Lenovo Yoga 9i is incredibly portable, with a powerful and portable machine that's perfect for creators and those who need a quick charge and lots of battery life.
The laptop has excellent Wi-Fi 7 speeds, with super fast and reliable connections and zero issues.
