Lenovo LOQ 15 (15IRH8)
Often the cheapest RTX 4060 laptop worth buying, around 999 dollars without Windows and with slotted RAM. Plastic shell, no Thunderbolt, low battery. None of that matters much if you want the most gaming frames per dollar. Our budget RTX 4060 pick.

ubuntu-lts: Raptor Lake HX plus a 115 W RTX 4060, hybrid graphics. Proprietary nvidia driver, then PRIME on-demand for battery or full dGPU for frames. There is no MUX switch, so you cannot disable the iGPU. Suspend can hang on resume without nvidia power management enabled. Webcam is UVC. No fingerprint reader. No Thunderbolt, so eGPU is out.
