The Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 is a gaming laptop with a body measuring 359 mm wide, 258 mm deep, and 21 mm thick, giving it a total volume of 1,945 cm³. It weighs 2,380 g and relies on an active cooling system rather than a fanless design. The chassis is not weather-sealed, though it does include a backlit keyboard for low-light use. The laptop comes with a one-year warranty.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, running at a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 px and a pixel density of 141 ppi. It supports a 144Hz refresh rate, which keeps motion smooth during fast-paced content, and delivers a typical brightness of 300 nits. The screen includes an anti-reflection coating to reduce glare, though it does not support touch input.
The system is driven by an 8-core, 16-thread CPU running at a base clock of 3.1 GHz with a turbo ceiling of 4.5 GHz, built on an 8 nm process node and paired with 24GB of DDR5 RAM clocked at 4800 MHz across two slots, expandable up to 32GB. Storage is handled by a 512GB NVMe SSD connected over PCIe 4.0. On the graphics side, the GPU operates at a base clock of 1065 MHz, boosting to 1343 MHz, and carries 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 4.813 TFLOPS of floating-point performance alongside a texture rate of 75.21 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 42.98 GPixel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and multithreading, while XeSS is not available on this configuration. Both the CPU and GPU are 64-bit capable.
In CPU benchmark testing, the processor achieves a PassMark multi-core score of 23,380, while the single-core result comes in at 3,168.
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, with no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports and no USB 4 options present. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, while DisplayPort and mini DisplayPort outputs are absent, as is a VGA connector. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, and wireless connectivity spans Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4 standards alongside Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is supported, but there is no external memory slot on this model.
The laptop is equipped with a 60 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge functionality through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to charge even when the laptop is powered off or in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
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. For gaming, the GPU supports both ray tracing and DLSS, adding to its rendering capabilities. The device does not include a stylus, optical disc drive, or motion and location sensors such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, or GPS.
The GPU is built on the Ampere architecture, packing 1,792 shading units, 56 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs, with a 128-bit memory bus running at 1,500 MHz for an effective speed of 12,000 MHz and a maximum bandwidth of 192 GB/s; it supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, and double precision floating point, while LHR is not present. Intel Resizable BAR is supported, and the GPU contains approximately 12,000 million transistors. The CPU carries a 45W TDP, a clock multiplier of 31, and a maximum operating temperature of 95 °C, with cache levels of 512 KB L1, 4 MB L2 at 0.5 MB per core, and 16 MB L3 at 2 MB per core; it supports instruction sets including MMX, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, AES, F16C, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, along with the NX bit, ECC memory across two memory channels capped at 4800 MHz, but does not feature an unlocked multiplier, big.LITTLE technology, or integrated graphics. An overclocked PassMark result of 25,238 is recorded for this configuration.
