Lenovo has today announced their new gaming lineup with new Lenovo LOQ laptops shown off alongside a new LOQ desktop, and new Legion gaming monitors.
The announcement includes two new LOQ Essential laptops, as well as a new LOQ Tower featuring easy upgradability and providing an accessible entry point into PC gaming. There’s also the new 27” Legion gaming monitors offering dual-mode refresh with scalable resolution.
The new LOQ Laptops include the Essential 15IPH11 and Essential 15IRH11, with Intel processors and either Intel Arc, or NVIDIA RTX graphics – and come in two colour options: Eclipse Black or Luna Grey.
The LOQ Essential 15IPH11 laptop includes a 15.3” WUXGA resolution IPS LCD with up to a 165Hz refresh rate, and is powered by Intel Core Ultra Series 3 processors, with integrated Intel Arc graphics. The system uses unified memory, with up to 16GB of DDR5 memory and up to a 1TB M.2 SSD.
The LOQ Essential 15IRH11 also includes the same 15.3” display, and is powered by up to Intel Core 7 230H class CPUs, with up to 32GB of DDR5 Memory with up to 1TB of storage.
Both laptops include a 60Wh, Rechargeable Li-ion Battery enabling up to 21 hours of battery life.
For now, Lenovo has only confirmed the LOQ Essential 15IRH11 will be in Australia, and is apparently available now for $2,029. The LOQ Essential 15IPH11 is expected to be available globally in October 2026, with an estimated starting price of $1,399 USD.
For desktop gamers, the new Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRH11 is ‘Ready to Play, Easy to Grow’ with a tool-less upgradeable ATX case that allows for flexibility.
Powered by up to Intel Core 200 series processors and with options for up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti GPUs, the Lenovo LOQ Tower 17IRH11 really is ready to go.
It comes with 32GB of 5600MT/s DDR5 memory configured in two 16GB DIMMs – allowing for upgrades down the track, and it can be configured with up to a 1TB PCIe Gen4 SSD with additional internal storage expansion available.
The tower includes a concealed air-duct design for quieter cooling with performance profiles in Lenovo’s Legion Space software to give players control, and it comes in a dual-tone Raven Black and Luna Grey coloured case that has a clean, contemporary look.
Lastly, Lenovo has refreshed their Legion gaming monitors with new two 27” IPS LCDs offering high-resolution refresh with expansive viewing angles.
The Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 Monitors give gamers options for performance, with the Legion 27Q-20 capable of up to QHD resolution at 320Hz, while the 27U-20 brings dual mode gaming, with FullHD resolution at 360Hz or UHD resolution at 180Hz for maximum flexibility.
Both monitors include coverage of 99% of the sRGB and 95% of the DCI-P3 colour spaces, and come with AMD FreeSync Premium, VESA Adaptive Sync and NVIDIA G-SYNC compatibility.
The Legion 27U-20 also includes Picture-in-Picture, and Picture-by-Picture support for more versatile work or gaming options.
No local availability or pricing has been shared, but Lenovo expects the Legion 27Q-20 and 27U-20 to be available in January 2027. The Legion 27Q-20 Monitor is expected to be priced at $299.99 USD, while the Legion 27U-20 gaming monitor is expected to be priced at $499.99 USD.
