If you're after a gaming laptop that can handle AAA titles without the hassle, the Lenovo LOQ Essential's worth a look. It's built around an Intel Core i5 processor with multiple cores that boost when you need extra speed, paired with DDR5 RAM and a solid-state drive. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card with dedicated memory means you can play modern games with decent settings, and the Full HD screen runs at a high refresh rate, so motion stays smooth whether you're gaming or just browsing.
It's portable enough to move between rooms or take to a mate's place, and the battery lasts for hours depending on use, so you're not constantly tethered to a plug. The IPS display has an anti-glare finish and good brightness, giving you a clear view without reflections. You get multiple USB ports including USB-C, HDMI for connecting to a monitor or TV, an Ethernet port, and a headphone jack. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are built in, plus there's a webcam and mic for calls. It runs Windows 11 Home out of the box, with Nahimic sound and a McAfee trial included.

Incredible deal
RTX 5050 for under £650 bugger me sideways. Argos coming in clutch on the black Friday. I've been looking for cut corners, I can tell you the only problem I've found is that the webcam is slightly on the lower end of quality. Battery doesn't last too long and 500gb storage fills up fast, but what do you expect?

Hello Ayaan.
After checking with our supplier, they have advised for Lenovo LOQ E15 15.6in i5 16GB 512GB RTX5050 Gaming Laptop.
Warranty is void if the device is altered in any way by a non-Lenovo service provider.
Thank you for using Q & A.
Further to my previous answer. I have noticed that Backlit Keyboard has now been removed from the specifications advertised.
I purchased this laptop before Christmas and it does NOT have a backlit keyboard at all, even though it is advertised. I ordered a replacement in case I got a bad one, but that did have a backlit keyboard either. Neither had the keyboard light symbol on the keyboard or any function keys and all attempts to make the keyboard light up failed. I returned for full refund. There used to be other Qs answered by customers confirming that there is no backlit keyboard but seems Argos removed them.
Hello Ness,
I can confirm that the Lenovo LOQ E15 15.6in i5 16GB 512GB RTX5050 Gaming Laptop only has an optional white backlight and not RGB.
