The Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9E is a gaming laptop with a compact footprint of 359 mm wide by 236 mm tall and just 19 mm thick, giving it a slim profile for its class. It weighs 1,770 g and has a total volume of approximately 1,609.756 cm³. The chassis is not weather-sealed and does not use a fanless design, meaning active cooling is present. The keyboard does not include backlighting. The laptop comes with a 2-year warranty.
The laptop features a 15.6″ LCD IPS panel with LED backlighting, delivering a 1920 x 1080 px resolution at a pixel density of 141 ppi. With a 144Hz refresh rate, the display is well-suited for fast-paced content, and the typical brightness is rated at 300 nits. An anti-reflection coating is included, while touch input is not supported. The GPU can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
The system is equipped with 16GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800 MHz across two slots, with a maximum supported capacity of 32GB. The CPU runs at 4 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and 4 cores at 1.8 GHz, with a turbo frequency of 4.4 GHz, and supports 12 threads with multithreading enabled. Storage is handled by a 1TB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4.0, and the system is 64-bit compatible. On the graphics side, the GPU carries 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM with a base clock of 1605 MHz and a boost up to 2370 MHz, delivering 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 but does not include XeSS. The CPU is manufactured on a 4 nm process node.
In PassMark testing, the system achieves an overall score of 18,228, with a single-thread result of 3,335. The GPU records a PassMark G3D score of 17,148.
The laptop's port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB-C port and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB-A ports, while higher-speed options such as USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4 are not present. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, with no DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, or VGA connector available. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, and wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with backwards compatibility for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, alongside Bluetooth 5.2. An external memory slot is included, and AirPlay is supported. There is no VGA output on this model.
The laptop is powered by a 57 Wh battery with a rated life of 5.2 hours. It supports sleep-and-charge through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is off or in sleep mode. A MagSafe power adapter is not included or supported.
The laptop includes stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headset jack for audio output, though Dolby Atmos and S/PDIF output are not supported. A 1.3MP front camera is built in, accompanied by two microphones, while biometric options such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent. Voice commands are not available. On the graphics side, the GPU supports both ray tracing and DLSS, adding to its capability for visually demanding applications. No stylus is included, and the device lacks an optical disc drive, GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass.
The CPU is a laptop-type processor using the LGA 1700 socket with a clock multiplier of 24, an unlocked multiplier, and Turbo Boost version 2, with a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C and a TDP of 115W. It employs big.LITTLE technology, features a 12 MB L3 cache, supports the NX bit, and is compatible with Z690, H670, B660, and H610 chipsets. Supported instruction sets include SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX, and maximum RAM speed is rated at 4800 MHz across two memory channels. Integrated graphics are present alongside the discrete GPU, which is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and contains 2,560 shading units, 80 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, with a native memory speed of 2000 MHz, an effective speed of 16,000 MHz, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 192 GB/s over a 96-bit bus. The GPU supports multi-display output, stereoscopic 3D, OpenCL 3.0, OpenGL 4.6, Double Precision Floating Point, and ECC memory, and the system uses Intel Resizable BAR. The CPU contains 18,900 million transistors, and LHR is not present.
