The Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9 is a gaming laptop with a weight of 2380 g and a compact profile measuring 359 mm wide, 258 mm deep, and 21 mm thick, giving it a total volume of 1945.062 cm³. It features an active cooling system rather than a fanless design, and includes a backlit keyboard for use in low-light environments. The laptop does not carry a weather-sealed or splashproof rating, and it comes backed by a 2-year warranty.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, delivering a 2560 x 1440 px resolution at a pixel density of 188 ppi. It runs at a 165Hz refresh rate, making it well-suited for fast-paced content, and offers a typical brightness of 350 nits alongside an anti-reflection coating to reduce glare. The display does not support touch input, and the system can drive up to four screens simultaneously. Touch functionality is not available on this panel.
The system is powered by a 6-core CPU running at 4.3 GHz per core with a turbo frequency of 5 GHz, 12 threads, and multithreading support, built on a 4 nm semiconductor process. It comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 5600 MHz across two memory slots, expandable up to 32GB, paired with a 1024GB NVMe SSD using flash storage over a PCIe 4.0 interface. On the graphics side, the GPU carries 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM, a base clock of 1605 MHz boosting up to 2370 MHz, and delivers 12.13 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 204.8 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and is 64-bit capable, though XeSS (XMX) is not available on this configuration.
In CPU benchmarks, the laptop scores 2668 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 11216 in Geekbench 6 multi-core, reflecting the processor's threaded throughput. Cinebench R20 results come in at 99 for single-core and 702 for multi-core. On the PassMark side, the system achieves a single-core score of 3648, an overall PassMark result of 22569, and a PassMark G3D score of 17148, the latter serving as an indicator of graphics subsystem performance.
The laptop's port selection includes three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports and one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, while Thunderbolt 3 and 4, USB 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA outputs are absent. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, and there is no external memory card slot. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, and wireless connectivity spans Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 standards, complemented by Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is also supported on this model.
The laptop houses a 60 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is powered off or in sleep mode. A MagSafe power adapter is not part of the package.
Audio is handled by stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headset jack, with two built-in microphones for voice capture, though Dolby Atmos and S/PDIF output are not supported. A front camera is present, but the laptop does not include a fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command functionality. On the graphics feature side, the machine supports both ray tracing and DLSS, expanding options for compatible titles. Sensors such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS are absent, and there is no stylus included nor an optical disc drive.
The GPU is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and pairs 2560 shading units with 80 texture mapping units, 48 ROPs, and 8 execution units, running GPU memory at 2000 MHz with an effective speed of 16000 MHz across a 96-bit bus for a maximum bandwidth of 192 GB/s. It supports Intel Resizable BAR, multi-display output, stereoscopic 3D, Double Precision Floating Point, OpenCL 3, and OpenGL 4.6, and does not carry LHR restrictions. The laptop CPU has a clock multiplier of 43, a locked multiplier, a TDP of 115W, and a maximum operating temperature of 100°C, with integrated graphics also present and big.LITTLE technology not used. Cache is organized as 384 KB L1, 6 MB L2 at 1 MB per core, and 16 MB L3 at 2.67 MB per core, while supported instruction sets include MMX, AES, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, F16C, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, with NX bit enabled. Memory runs across 2 channels with a maximum supported speed of 7500 MHz, and the system contains 18,900 million transistors with ECC memory support.
