The Lenovo LOQ 16APH8 is a gaming laptop with a footprint of 359 × 277 mm and a thickness of just 21 mm, giving it a total volume of 2,088.303 cm³. It weighs 2,600 g and relies on an active cooling system rather than a fanless design. The keyboard includes backlighting, and the laptop carries a 2-year warranty. It is not weather-sealed, so it offers no splash protection.
The laptop features a 16″ IPS LCD panel with LED backlighting, delivering a resolution of 1920 × 1200 px at a pixel density of 141 ppi. It runs at a 144Hz refresh rate, making it well-suited for fast-paced content, and reaches a typical brightness of 350 nits. An anti-reflection coating is present, though the display does not support touch input. The GPU can drive up to 4 displays simultaneously.
The system is powered by a 6-core CPU running at 4.3 GHz per core with a turbo speed of 5 GHz, 12 threads, and a 4 nm semiconductor size, supporting 64-bit operation and multithreading. It comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 5600 MHz across 2 memory slots, expandable up to 32GB. Storage is handled by a 1024GB NVMe SSD using PCIe 4.0 flash storage. The GPU runs at a base clock of 1605 MHz with a turbo of 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. It supports DirectX 12 Ultimate but does not include XeSS acceleration.
In CPU benchmarks, the laptop scores 2,293 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 9,208 in Geekbench 6 multi-core, reflecting the processor's multi-threaded capabilities. On the PassMark side, the overall CPU result reaches 22,965 with a single-threaded score of 3,652. GPU performance is measured at a PassMark G3D score of 17,148.
The laptop's port selection includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and one USB 2.0 port, while USB 4, Thunderbolt 3 and 4, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, and VGA outputs are all absent. Video output is handled by a single HDMI 2.1 port, and there is no external memory card slot. Wired networking is covered by one RJ45 port, and wireless connectivity spans Wi-Fi 6, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 4 alongside Bluetooth 5.2. AirPlay is also supported.
The laptop is equipped with a 60 Wh battery and supports sleep-and-charge via its USB ports, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is not in use. It does not include a MagSafe power adapter.
On the audio side, the laptop includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and two microphones, though it lacks Dolby Atmos and an S/PDIF output. A front camera is present for video calls, but there is no fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, or voice command support. The GPU supports both ray tracing and DLSS, adding to its gaming-oriented feature set. Motion and location sensors — including a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS — are all absent, and no stylus or optical disc drive is included.
The dedicated GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and features 2,560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, 48 ROPs, and 8 execution units, with a 96-bit memory bus running at 2,000 MHz for an effective speed of 16,000 MHz and a maximum bandwidth of 192 GB/s. It supports Intel Resizable BAR, multi-display output, stereoscopic 3D, Double Precision Floating Point, OpenCL 3, OpenGL 4.6, and ECC memory, while LHR is not present. The integrated graphics solution is identified as the Radeon 760M. On the CPU side, the laptop-class processor carries a 115W TDP, a clock multiplier of 43, a maximum operating temperature of 100 °C, and 18,900 million transistors, with cache structured as 384 KB L1, 6 MB L2 at 1 MB/core, and 16 MB L3 at 2.67 MB/core. It supports two memory channels with a maximum RAM speed of 7,500 MHz, includes the NX bit, and is compatible with instruction sets including MMX, AES, AVX, AVX2, FMA3, F16C, SSE 4.1, and SSE 4.2, though it does not use big.LITTLE technology and its multiplier is locked. The overclocked PassMark result stands at 24,911.
