Lenovo has confirmed the global expansion of its 15-inch gaming laptop lineup, including the rollout of the LOQ 15IPH11 and the LOQ Essential 15IRH11. The devices are currently reaching markets in Oceania, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Europe, with a broader international release scheduled to follow, according to reports from Notebookcheck.fr and data from the company’s PSREF site.
## Regional Availability and Pricing Structures
The pricing for the LOQ 15IPH11 varies significantly by market. Within the Eurozone, prices range between 1,889 € and 2,219 €. Separately, the LOQ Essential 15IRH11 has been priced at 2,029 AUD, 183,680 JPY, 5,069 MYR, 1,661 SGD, and 2,549 NZD. Lenovo has confirmed that the 15-inch models are slated for a wider European release by late September, with a starting price point of 1,299 € including taxes.
## Hardware Configurations and Performance Metrics
The LOQ series offers distinct hardware tiers depending on the specific model and region. The LOQ Essential 15IRH11 typically features an Intel Core 5 205H processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 (4 GB) GPU, 8 GB of RAM, and a 512 GB SSD. All configurations of this model include a 60 Wh battery and an IPS display rated at 300 nits with a 1,200p resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate.
