The Lenovo LOQ 15AHP9 is a gaming laptop with a chassis measuring 359 mm wide, 258 mm deep, and 21 mm thick, giving it a relatively slim profile for its category. It weighs 2,380 g and occupies a total volume of 1,945 cm³. The design includes a backlit keyboard and relies on an active cooling system, as it does not use a fanless configuration. It is not weather-sealed, so splash protection is not a consideration here. Lenovo backs the unit with a two-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. The display runs at a 165Hz refresh rate, which suits fast-paced content, and reaches a typical brightness of 350 nits. An anti-reflection coating is applied to the screen surface, though touch input is not supported. The system can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
The system is powered by a six-core, 12-thread CPU built on a 5 nm process, running at a base speed of 4.3 GHz per core and boosting up to 5 GHz, with multithreading enabled and a 64-bit instruction set. The 16GB of DDR5 RAM operates at 5,600 MHz across two slots, with a maximum supported capacity of 32GB. Storage is handled by a 1,024GB NVMe SSD connected via PCIe 4.0. On the graphics side, the GPU carries 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and runs at a base clock of 1,545 MHz, boosting to 2,370 MHz, delivering 14.56 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 227.52 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate but does not include XeSS acceleration.
In CPU benchmarks, the laptop scores 2,668 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 11,216 in Geekbench 6 multi-core, while Cinebench R20 returns 99 in the single-core test and 702 across all cores. The overall PassMark result sits at 22,569, with a single-core PassMark score of 3,648. Graphics performance is reflected in a PassMark G3D score of 17,710.
The laptop's port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, while Thunderbolt 3 and 4, USB 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA outputs are all 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 Ethernet port, and wireless connectivity spans Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n), alongside Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is also supported.
The laptop is equipped with a 60 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the system is powered off or in sleep mode. A MagSafe power adapter is not included.
On the audio side, the laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and two microphones, though Dolby Atmos and S/PDIF output are not present. A front camera is built in, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent, and voice commands are not supported. The GPU supports ray tracing and DLSS, adding to the gaming-oriented feature set. Sensor hardware including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS is not included, nor is there an optical disc drive or a stylus.
The CPU is a laptop-class processor with a clock multiplier of 43, a thermal design power of 115W, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, and a locked multiplier. It supports the NX bit and does not use big.LITTLE architecture. The cache hierarchy consists of 384 KB of L1, 6 MB of L2 at 1 MB per core, and 16 MB of L3 cache at 2.67 MB per core, with supported instruction sets including MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2. The system includes integrated graphics with 8 execution units and also carries a discrete GPU built on the Ada Lovelace architecture, featuring 3,072 shading units, 96 texture mapping units, 48 ROPs, a 128-bit memory bus, GPU memory running at 2,000 MHz, an effective memory speed of 16,000 MHz, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 256 GB/s. The GPU supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, and double precision floating point, while LHR is not present. RAM is handled across two memory channels with a maximum supported speed of 7,500 MHz, and ECC memory is supported. On the compute side, the PassMark DirectCompute result is 6,787, and the GPU contains 18,900 million transistors.
