Our Verdict
Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16 (2023)
Lenovo LOQ 15 (2023)
The Lenovo Legion Pro 5 Gen 8 16 (2023) is better than the Lenovo LOQ 15 (2023). The Legion feels more sturdily built, and it has better configuration options, like a 240Hz QHD display, faster Ryzen HX CPUs, and a higher-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. It also has a wider port selection, a better webcam, and a faster SSD. On the other hand, the LOQ 15 is a smaller, more portable device, and its battery lasts much longer in light uses.
