Are people exaggerating, or did we both get super lucky? LOQ 15IAX9
Me and my fiance each got the LOQ 15IAX9 with the 12450HX, 16GB DDR5, and a RTX3050 running win11 pro 23H2 about 3 months ago, now running 24H2, and so far, not a single snag. (Aside from spider-man remastered which I'm convinced is just an outrageously bad port).
I play just about everything on it, going as far as shelving my tower because the LOQ is simply more convenient and performs almost as well. My fiance also hasn't had a single complaint, and she's prone to PBKC errors.
My thermals are always modest, my battery life is fair, and my UX is smooth as butter. I've even enabled my CPU overclock in the UEFI and I'm still running stable. I run coreldraw for work and I design some pretty demanding stuff, I've finished both hellblade games on high settings, GOW and GOW Ragnarok on maxed out settings, and all 3 Marvel's spider-man games (besides remastered as stated above, but I still finished the main story before the game gave up on life).
Point is... it just works.
Am I one of the lucky ones? Is this the valley before the cliff? Should I be doing some dark ritual to prolong the peace? I feel like I'm waiting for the fat lady's number.
TLDR: We bought 2 LOQ 15IAX9s and they've been just perfect. I don't see the fear for this model.
