The Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 is classified as a gaming laptop and has a physical footprint of 359 mm wide by 258 mm deep, with a thickness of 21 mm and a total volume of 1,945.062 cm³. It weighs 2,380 g and relies on an active cooling system rather than a fanless design. The chassis includes a backlit keyboard but is not weather-sealed. Lenovo covers the unit with a 3-year warranty.
The laptop features a 15.6-inch LCD IPS panel with LED backlighting, delivering a resolution of 1920 x 1080 px at a pixel density of 141 ppi. It runs at a 144Hz refresh rate, which suits fast-paced content, and offers a typical brightness of 300 nits. The screen includes an anti-reflection coating but does not support touch input. Typical brightness sits at 300 nits, and the IPS panel type ensures consistent color from various viewing angles.
The system is powered by an 8-core CPU running at a base speed of 8 x 3.1 GHz with a turbo clock of 4.5 GHz, supporting 16 threads and multithreading, and built on a 4 nm semiconductor process. It comes with 24GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz across 2 memory slots, with a maximum supported capacity of 32GB, paired with a 1024GB NVMe SSD for flash-based storage. The GPU operates at a base clock of 1230 MHz and a turbo of 2175 MHz, backed by 8GB of GDDR6X VRAM, delivering 20.04 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 313.2 GTexels/s, and a pixel rate of 104.4 GPixel/s. Graphics support extends to DirectX 12 Ultimate, and the system uses PCIe 4 for connectivity, supports 64-bit operation, but does not include XeSS (XMX) support.
In PassMark testing, the system achieves an overall score of 23,380 and a single-thread result of 3,168, reflecting the CPU's per-core processing capability. On the graphics side, the PassMark G3D score reaches 19,574, representing the GPU's measured rendering performance under that benchmark.
For wired connectivity, the laptop provides 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, no VGA connector, and no external memory slot. Wireless connectivity covers Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with backwards-compatible Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4 standards, plus Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is also supported.
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 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, two microphones, and an S/PDIF output port, though Dolby Atmos is not supported. A front camera is present for video calls, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent, and voice commands are not supported. Graphics features include ray tracing and DLSS support, catering to gaming workloads. The device does not include a stylus, optical disc drive, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, or GPS.
The GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and houses 22,900 million transistors, with 4,608 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, and 48 render output units operating across a 128-bit memory bus at an effective memory speed of 16,000 MHz and a peak bandwidth of 256 GB/s; it does not use LHR. The GPU supports stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, Double Precision Floating Point, OpenCL 3, and OpenGL 4.6, and scores 8,162 in the PassMark DirectCompute benchmark. On the CPU side, the processor carries a 115W TDP, a clock multiplier of 31, a maximum operating temperature of 95 °C, and a cache hierarchy of 512 KB L1, 4 MB L2 (0.5 MB/core), and 16 MB L3 (2 MB/core); it supports two memory channels with a maximum RAM speed of 4,800 MHz, ECC memory, and the NX bit, but does not have an unlocked multiplier, integrated graphics, or big.LITTLE technology. Supported instruction sets include MMX, F16C, FMA3, AES, AVX, AVX2, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, and an overclocked PassMark result of 25,238 is recorded.
