"There's another option, which is to get a laptop like the Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 here - it uses a GPU and CPU from older generations, and while it misses out on some performance and features compared to the latest and greatest laptops for graphic design, the drop in price is probably a greater reduction. A budget gaming laptop like the one we're looking at here still has plenty of horsepower for throwing around 2D graphics and even 4K movies,"
"Lenovo's laptop is pretty cheap, but it doesn't always feel like it. It's thicker and heavier than you'd find in a range-topping ultrabook, and is quite clearly made of plastic rather than metal (on the outside, at least), but manages to pull it off with a low-key grey finish that looks more premium than it is. A shiny silver LOQ logo adds a point of interest, but this isn't a flashy laptop and won't stand out among a studio's other computers."
The Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 pairs older-generation CPU and GPU components to reduce cost while retaining useful performance for creative and media tasks. The laptop provides sufficient horsepower for 2D graphics workflows and smooth 4K video playback, although modern gaming performance trails current high-end models. The chassis uses solid plastic, resulting in a thicker, heavier feel compared with ultrabooks, yet a low-key grey finish and silver LOQ logo give a more premium appearance. Rear-mounted charging and some USB ports suit desk use, with port labels behind the screen identifying connections. Some cutting-edge features and peak performance are absent.
