The Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9E is a gaming laptop with a compact profile of 19 mm thickness, measuring 359 mm wide and 236 mm in height, with a total volume of 1609.756 cm³. It weighs 1770 g and includes a backlit keyboard, while active cooling is present as it does not use a fanless design. The build is neither rugged nor weather-sealed, and it carries a one-year warranty period.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, delivering a 1920 x 1080 px resolution at a pixel density of 141 ppi and a typical brightness of 300 nits. With a 144Hz refresh rate, the display is well-suited for fast-paced content, and an anti-reflection coating helps reduce glare during use. The screen does not support touch input, and the system can drive up to four displays simultaneously.
The system is powered by a CPU with a 6-core configuration running at 2 GHz and an 8-core set at 1.5 GHz, reaching a turbo clock speed of 4.7 GHz across 20 threads with multithreading enabled, all built on a 4 nm semiconductor process. It comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 4800 MHz via a single memory slot, expandable up to 32GB, paired with a 1024GB NVMe SSD for flash-based storage. The GPU runs at a base clock of 1605 MHz with a boost up to 2370 MHz, backed by 6GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 12.13 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 204.8 GTexels/s, and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s, with support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and PCIe 4.0, while XeSS is not supported.
In benchmark testing, the laptop scores 2162 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 10785 in the Geekbench 6 multi-core test, reflecting the CPU's threaded throughput. On the PassMark side, it achieves an overall score of 21884 with a single-core result of 3526, while the GPU-focused PassMark G3D test returns a score of 17148.
For wired connectivity, the laptop includes one USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 1 USB-A ports, and a single RJ45 Ethernet port, while there are no USB 2.0, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, or VGA connections. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, and an external memory slot is also present. On the wireless side, it supports Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.2, and AirPlay is supported as well.
The laptop is equipped with a 57 Wh battery rated for up to 6 hours of use, and it charges fully in approximately one hour. Sleep-and-charge USB ports are supported, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is powered off, while a MagSafe power adapter is not included.
The laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and a dual-microphone setup, 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. On the graphics side, the machine supports ray tracing and DLSS, making these features available for compatible applications. Sensor-wise, it lacks a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS, and neither a stylus nor an optical disc drive is included.
The CPU carries a clock multiplier of 20, an unlocked multiplier, Turbo Boost version 2, a 24 MB L3 cache, a TDP of 115W, and a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, with big.LITTLE technology in use and an NX bit present for hardware-level execution protection. It is a desktop-type processor using the LGA 1700 socket, compatible with Z690, H670, B660, and H610 chipsets, and supports instruction sets including SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX, alongside integrated UHD Graphics 770 with 32 execution units and ECC memory support across two memory channels at up to 4800 MHz. The discrete GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 2560 shading units, 80 TMUs, 48 ROPs, a 96-bit memory bus running at 2000 MHz with an effective speed of 16000 MHz and a maximum bandwidth of 192 GB/s, and supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, Double Precision Floating Point, stereoscopic 3D, and multi-display output via Intel Resizable BAR, with LHR not present. The CPU itself contains 18,900 million transistors, and the overall configuration supports both 3D output and multi-display technology.
