In the final hours of Cyber Monday, Lenovo has discounted its Lenovo LOQ Intel Core i5 RTX 4060 gaming PC to only $714.99 shipped. That is one of the best deals we've seen on an RTX 4060 equipped gaming PC from Lenovo. The LOQ is Lenovo's budget line of gaming PCs for those of you who don't want to pay more for a Legion. Despite the lower price, the LOQ offers similar performance, a compact chassis with good airflow, an efficient 500W power supply, and modern-day conveniences like Wi-Fi 6 and front panel USB Type-C. It's backed by a 1 year Lenovo warranty.
Lenovo LOQ RTX 4060 Gaming PC for $715
The Lenovo LOQ is equipped with an Intel Core i5-1440F CPU, GeForce RTX 4060 8GB GPU, 16GB of DDR5-4800MHz RAM, and a 512GB NVMe SSD. The 14th gen Intel Core i5-1440F Raptor Lake "Refresh" CPU boasts a max clock of 4.7GHz with 10 cores, 16 threads, and a 20MB cache. This is a very capable processor that performs nearly as well in gaming as the Intel Core i7 at a more reasonable cost.
The RTX 4060 is considerably more powerful than the RTX 3060 and almost nearly matches the RTX 3060 Ti. This is a solid budget card for comfy 1080p gaming. You could also run games at 1440p with relaxed graphic settings, but at that point I'd recommend upgrading to an RTX 4060 Ti. Because the RTX 4060 is a current gen GPU, it supports DLSS 3.0, which gives you more frames in exchange for a slight hit in visual quality, similar to "Performance" mode for PS5 or Xbox.
For those of you on a budget, the RTX 4060 is going to be your best NVIDIA GPU that you're going to find for under $1000, and this Lenovo LOQ is $250 under that threshold. What's more, this is a pre-built Lenovo config with a manufacturer's warranty, so you'll avoid the hassle of building DIY and dealing with component warranties.

Black Friday vs Cyber Monday
In most instances, you can consider Cyber Monday as a one day extension of Black Friday. Traditionally, Black Friday was known as the "retail holiday," where the best deals were found in-store, and Cyber Monday was known as the "online holiday," where the best deals were online only. Although today the lines are very much blurred, it is still true that many online only retailers still consider Cyber Monday the sale event of the year instead of Black Friday. Expect some amazing sales to come out of online-only sites like Amazon, Newegg, Dell, HP, Lenovo and several online-only deals from traditional retailers like Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.
