The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 is a gaming laptop with a footprint of 359 x 258 mm and a thickness of just 21 mm, giving it a relatively slim profile for its class. It weighs 2380 g and has a total volume of 1945.062 cm³. The chassis is not fanless, meaning it uses an active cooling system, and it does not carry a weather-sealed or splashproof rating. A backlit keyboard is included as standard, while the warranty period covers one year from purchase.
The laptop features a 15.6″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, running at a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 px and a pixel density of 141 ppi. The 144Hz refresh rate makes it well-suited for fast-moving content, while typical brightness sits at 300 nits. An anti-reflection coating is applied to the screen surface, though the display does not support touch input. The system is capable of driving up to 4 displays simultaneously.
The processor runs across 14 cores with 20 threads, clocked at 6 x 2.6 GHz and 8 x 1.9 GHz with a turbo ceiling of 4.9GHz, and is built on an 8 nm semiconductor process with multithreading and 64-bit support. System memory stands at 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 4800 MHz across 2 slots, which also represents the maximum supported capacity. Storage is handled by a 1024GB NVMe SSD using flash memory over a PCIe 4 interface. On the graphics side, the GPU operates at 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 alongside a texture rate of 67.65 GTexels/s and a pixel rate of 42.28 GPixel/s. The GPU supports DirectX 12 Ultimate but does not include XeSS (XMX) support.
In CPU benchmarking, the system scores 14077 in Geekbench 6 multi-core and 2524 in the single-core test, while the overall PassMark result reaches 30674 with a single-threaded PassMark score of 3767. GPU performance is reflected in a PassMark G3D score of 9278.
The laptop's port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, with no Thunderbolt 3 or 4 ports, no USB 4 ports, and no additional USB-C Gen 1 connections. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, while DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA outputs are absent. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, and there is no external memory card slot. Wireless connectivity spans Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) along with backwards-compatible Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is also supported.
The laptop is equipped with a 60 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge functionality through its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is in sleep mode. It does not use a MagSafe power adapter.
Audio is handled by stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headset jack, supported by two built-in microphones, though Dolby Atmos and S/PDIF output are not present. A front camera is included, 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 laptop supports both ray tracing and DLSS, catering to gaming workloads that rely on these capabilities. GPS is available, but the device lacks a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. No stylus is included, and there is no optical disc drive.
The CPU carries a clock multiplier of 26, an unlocked multiplier, a 75W TDP, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, and a 24 MB L3 cache, with big.LITTLE technology in use across two memory channels supporting RAM speeds up to 4800 MHz. It includes NX bit support, Double Precision Floating Point (DPFP), ECC memory support, and runs the SSE 4.2, SSE 4.1, AVX, AES, FMA3, F16C, and MMX instruction sets. Integrated graphics are present in the form of the UHD Graphics 710 with 16 execution units, while 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. The system supports OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, stereoscopic 3D, and Intel Resizable BAR, but does not include LHR or air-water cooling.
