The Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 is a gaming laptop with a footprint of 359 × 258 mm and a thickness of just 21 mm, giving it a relatively slim profile for its category. It weighs 2,380 g and has a total volume of approximately 1,945 cm³. The chassis is not fanless, meaning it uses an active cooling solution, and it does not carry a weather-sealed or splashproof rating. On the usability side, it includes a backlit keyboard and comes backed by a two-year warranty.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, running at a 1920 × 1080 resolution and a pixel density of 141 ppi. It supports a 144Hz refresh rate, which allows for smoother motion during fast-paced content, and offers a typical brightness of 300 nits. An anti-reflection coating is present to help reduce glare, while touch screen functionality is not included.
The system is powered by a 4-core CPU running at a base clock of 4 × 3.2 GHz with a turbo frequency of 4.2 GHz, 8 threads, and multithreading support, built on a 4 nm semiconductor process. It comes with 24GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz across two memory slots, expandable up to 32GB. Storage is handled by a 1024GB NVMe SSD 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 compatible, though XeSS (XMX) is not supported.
In PassMark testing, the system achieves an overall CPU score of 12,257 and a single-thread score of 2,875, reflecting the per-core processing capability of the processor. On the graphics side, the GPU records a PassMark G3D score of 17,148, indicating its 3D rendering capability as measured by that benchmark.
The laptop's wired port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one HDMI 2.1 output, and one RJ45 Ethernet port; there are no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, no DisplayPort or mini DisplayPort outputs, and no VGA connector. An external memory card slot is also absent. For wireless connectivity, it supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) alongside Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, and pairs with Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is supported as well.
The laptop is equipped with a 60 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge 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 part of the setup.
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. GPU features include ray tracing and DLSS support. The machine does not come with a stylus, an optical disc drive, or motion and location sensors such as a gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, or compass.
The GPU is based on the Ada Lovelace architecture and comprises 2,560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units, with a memory bus width of 96 bits, a GPU memory speed of 2,000 MHz, an effective memory speed of 16,000 MHz, and a maximum memory 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 integrated graphics are not included. On the CPU side, the processor has a clock multiplier of 32, a TDP of 115W, and a maximum operating temperature of 95 °C; it uses a dual-channel memory configuration with a maximum RAM speed of 4,800 MHz and supports ECC memory. The cache hierarchy consists of 384 KB L1, 2 MB L2 (1 MB/core), and 8 MB L3 (2 MB/core), and supported instruction sets include MMX, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, F16C, AES, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2. The CPU features an NX bit but does not have an unlocked multiplier or use big.LITTLE technology. The GPU contains approximately 18,900 million transistors.
