Faster, higher, further thanks to OC: Lenovo LOQ 17 RTX 5070 gaming laptop review

[Redaktion]

After reviewing Lenovo's LOQ series in several 15- and 16-inch versions, it's now fine time for an even larger model, the LOQ 17. How does this gaming laptop fare in the competitive midrange market?

[Eww]

Display P3 Coverage (%)   
66.3

Eww, only 66% coverage on a standard that was introduced almost 10 years ago to supersede the ancient sRGB.

8 GB VRAM

With all the proofs that 8 GB VRAM are not enough, maybe wait till next year's Refresh, which will use 3 GB GDDR7 chip densities, instead of the current 2 GB ones.

16:9 ratio is also kinda eww.

165 Hz

With pixel response times of 10ms and 16ms, the true Hz is 1/0.010=100 Hz and 1/0.016=62 Hz. If there's no faster IPS option and no test of it, you should may get an OLED then, if available. A 120 Hz OLED will look much sharper than this fake 165 Hz one.

The brightness is boo too.

In the spec sheet
Lenovo states 3ms response time in od mode
Can you test the response times with overdrive?
It should be somewhere in legion space i suppose.
