The Lenovo LOQ Essential (15IRH11) is a 15-inch gaming laptop announced in 2026. Every value below is from Lenovo's specification document, re-typed into our own table. A chassis is sold in many configurations, so screen, memory and graphics are listed as the options the maker offers.

*Notes from the document: Sold in the US as the Lenovo LOQ Essential (15" Intel), machine type 83Y9 (confirmed on lenovo.com/us 2026-11-14); Lenovo's LOQ 15IPH11 with RTX 5050 and 5060 is not in Lenovo's US store. The RTX 3050 comes with 4 or 6 GB of memory, both at 75 W. Memory is DDR4 or DDR5 by configuration, 32 GB at most. The keyboard backlight is purple. The USB-C port is 5 Gbps and takes 65 to 100 W charging; the bundled 135 W adapter uses Lenovo's slim-tip plug.*

## Size: will it fit your bag?

Closed, it measures **13.58 × 10.03 in** (34.5 × 25.5 cm) and is 0.82–0.92 in thick. A sleeve or laptop compartment needs inner dimensions at least that large; bag makers size compartments by screen class, and chassis in one class differ, so check the numbers, not the label. We list 5 laptops in the 15-inch class: 13.4–14.11 in wide, 9.27–10.03 in deep and 3.28–4.6 lb. By starting weight the LOQ Essential 15 (Intel) is the **heaviest** of 4.

## Graphics power

Graphics options: RTX 3050 (75 W). The wattage is the maximum graphics power (TGP) the maker states for this chassis; the same GPU runs at different power in different laptops, which changes its speed. We haven't measured frame rates; see an independent lab such as [Notebookcheck](https://www.notebookcheck.net/) for those.
