Lenovo has expanded its budget gaming lineup with the LOQ Tower 17IRH11, a new desktop that brings desktop-class graphics to a compact tower form factor. This release matters because it offers a flexible upgrade path for gamers who want to start with entry-level parts and add storage or memory later without replacing the entire system. The tower targets users who need more expandability than a prebuilt laptop can provide but still want to keep costs down.

New desktop offers expandable storage and Wi-Fi 7 for budget gamers

The system runs on Core 200 series mobile processors, specifically the Core 5 205H or the Core 7 230H. These chips sit inside a standard desktop case, allowing Lenovo to pair them with full-sized graphics cards. This combination lets buyers choose between integrated graphics performance and dedicated GPU power depending on their budget and gaming needs.

Specifications

  • Processor: Intel Core 5 205H or Core 7 230H
  • Memory: Up to 32GB DDR5-5200
  • Graphics: Nvidia RTX 3050, 5050, 5060, or 5060 Ti
  • Storage: Up to 1TB SSD with 2x M.2 slots and 3.5-inch bay
  • Connectivity: Wi-Fi 7, 5Gbps USB-C, 10Gbps USB-A

Graphics options range from the older RTX 3050 to the newer RTX 5050, RTX 5060, and RTX 5060 Ti. Memory capacity tops out at 32GB of dual-channel DDR5-5200 RAM across two SODIMM slots. Storage starts with a preconfigured drive that maxes out at 1TB, but the case includes two M.2 slots and an extra 3.5-inch bay for future expansion.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 support and front-facing ports with 5Gbps USB-C and 10Gbps USB-A speeds. The tower ships with a choice of either a 400W or 500W power supply to match the selected GPU configuration.

Lenovo has not announced pricing or a release date for the LOQ Tower 17IRH11. The company has listed multiple regional SKUs for Europe on its PSREF website, including Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and the Nordic countries. Buyers in these regions should watch for official launch details as Lenovo prepares to make the system available.
