The Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 is classified as a gaming laptop with a physical footprint of 359 mm wide, 258 mm deep, and 21 mm thick, giving it a total volume of approximately 1945 cm³. It weighs 2380 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. Lenovo backs the unit with a two-year warranty.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS panel with LED backlighting, rendering content at 1920x1080 pixels and a pixel density of 141 ppi. The screen operates at a 144Hz refresh rate, which benefits fast-moving visuals, and reaches a typical brightness of 300 nits. An anti-reflection coating is applied to the surface, while touch input is not supported. The display configuration allows up to 4 connected displays in total.
The system is powered by a CPU running four cores at 2.5 GHz and eight cores at 1.8 GHz, with a turbo clock reaching 4.6 GHz across 16 threads, and multithreading is supported. It comes with 24GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz across two slots, expandable up to 32GB, paired with a 1024GB NVMe SSD using flash storage and a PCIe 4 interface. On the graphics side, the GPU runs a base clock of 712 MHz and boosts up to 1740 MHz, backed by 4GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 4.329 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 67.65 GTexels/s, and a pixel rate of 42.28 GPixel/s, with support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and 64-bit processing. The GPU is built on an 8 nm semiconductor process and does not support XeSS.
In PassMark testing, the system achieves an overall CPU score of 24,607 and a single-thread score of 3,610, reflecting the processor's multi-core and single-core capabilities respectively. The GPU records a PassMark G3D score of 9,278, providing a reference point for its graphics rendering throughput.
Wired connectivity includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, one RJ45 Ethernet port, and a single HDMI 2.1 output; 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. On the wireless side, the laptop supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with 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 supported.
Audio output is handled by stereo speakers, and a 3.5 mm headset jack is included, though Dolby Atmos and an S/PDIF output port are not available. Two microphones and a front camera are built in, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent, and voice commands are not supported. On the graphics feature side, the laptop supports both ray tracing and DLSS, expanding its rendering capabilities for compatible titles. A stylus is not included, and the device lacks an optical disc drive, GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass.
The CPU carries a clock multiplier of 25, an unlocked multiplier, a TDP of 75W, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, an 18 MB L3 cache, and uses big.LITTLE technology alongside Turbo Boost version 2. It supports ECC memory, Double Precision Floating Point, NX bit, and a maximum RAM speed of 4800 MHz across two memory channels, with compatible chipsets including Z690, H670, B660, and H610 on an LGA 1700 socket. Integrated graphics are provided via the UHD Graphics 770 with 32 execution units. The discrete GPU is built on the Ampere architecture and features 2048 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 40 ROPs, a 128-bit memory bus, a GPU memory speed of 1500 MHz, an effective memory speed of 12000 MHz, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s. Additional GPU capabilities include OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D support, and Intel Resizable BAR, while LHR and air-water cooling are not present. The CPU supports instruction sets including SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX.
