  "textContent": "NOW $372 OFF\n\n**15.6-inch Lenovo LOQ Gaming Laptop**\n\nView Deal\n\nYou could invest thousands into a gaming laptop, or you could go with a model that’s capable of playing any of your favorite games without worry. The 15.6-inch Lenovo LOQ is now just $869 at Best Buy, saving you $372 (30%) if you score it before this deal’s gone.\n\nThis laptop was built for gaming, starting with the AMD Ryzen 5 220 processor and the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5050 on board. This is the “starter” GPU in the 5000 series, so don’t expect a rocket-level experience, but it’s more than enough to enjoy triple-A games, especially with DLSS features like upscaling and multi-frame generation enabled. It works well with the laptop’s gaming-ready screen: an IPS panel at 1080p may not be impressive, but the 144Hz refresh rate is great for smooth high-frame-rate action.\n\nOther nice bits of this laptop include 16GB of DDR5 RAM that’s just enough to handle Windows 11 without choking (plus it’s removable so you can upgrade it), a 512GB SSD that could be bigger but still provides enough space for games as long as you don’t go overboard, an HDMI 2.1 port for an external display, triple USB-A for peripherals and drives, and Windows 11 Pro for extra features like Sandbox and BitLocker.\n\nThe overall package makes this a solid budget-friendly gaming laptop. Now that it’s $869 at Best Buy, it’s a good time to buy. If you’re hesitating and want to keep your options open, check out PCWorld’s picks for the best gaming laptops under $1,000.",
