Lenovo LOQ 16APH8 16" AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS 3.8GHz / Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop / 16GB RAM / 1TB SSD

This gaming laptop measures 359 mm wide, 277 mm tall, and 21 mm thick, with a weight of 2,600 g that reflects its full-size gaming build. It includes a backlit keyboard and comes with a 2-year warranty, but does not use a fanless cooling design and is not weather-sealed against moisture or splashes.

The 16-inch IPS LCD LED-backlit panel resolves at 2560 x 1600 pixels with a pixel density of 188 ppi and a typical brightness of 350 nits. It runs at a 165Hz refresh rate and includes an anti-reflection coating, though touch input is not supported. The display configuration can drive up to four simultaneous outputs.

The eight-core CPU runs at 3.8 GHz across 16 threads with a turbo clock of 5.1 GHz, built on a 5 nm process with multithreading and 64-bit support. System memory sits at 16GB of DDR5 RAM at 5,600 MHz across two slots, expandable to 32GB, paired with a 1TB NVMe SSD over PCIe 4. The dedicated GPU operates at a base clock of 1,545 MHz boosting to 2,370 MHz with 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, delivering 14.56 TFLOPS of floating-point performance, a texture rate of 227.52 GTexels/s, and a pixel rate of 113.76 GPixel/s, all under DirectX 12 Ultimate. XeSS (XMX) is not supported.

In standardized testing, the laptop achieves a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 10,994 and a single-core score of 2,357, reflecting the processor's threaded and per-core output. The overall PassMark result stands at 28,616 with a single-core score of 3,750, while the PassMark G3D result of 17,710 provides a measure of dedicated graphics performance.

The laptop's port selection includes two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, one USB 2.0 port, one RJ45 Ethernet port, and one HDMI 2.1 output, covering a practical range of wired connections. There are no Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, VGA, mini DisplayPort, or external memory slot options available. Wirelessly, the device supports Wi-Fi 6 alongside Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 5.2, and AirPlay.

The laptop houses an 80 Wh battery and includes sleep-and-charge USB functionality, allowing connected devices to be charged even when the laptop is not in active use. A MagSafe power adapter is not included.

On the gaming side, the laptop supports both ray tracing and DLSS, enabling hardware-accelerated lighting and AI-based upscaling in compatible titles. Audio is handled through stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm headset jack, with two built-in microphones and a front camera rounding out the communication setup. Dolby Atmos, S/PDIF output, fingerprint scanner, 3D facial recognition, voice commands, stylus, optical disc drive, and all motion sensors including gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS are absent from this configuration.

The laptop-class CPU carries a 115W TDP, a clock multiplier of 38, and a maximum rated temperature of 100 °C, with cache distributed across 512 KB L1, 8 MB L2 at 1 MB/core, and a 16 MB L3 at 2 MB/core. The multiplier is not unlocked and big.LITTLE technology is not used, though the NX bit is active and supported instruction sets include AVX2, AES, FMA3, and SSE 4.2. RAM can run at up to 7,500 MHz across two memory channels, and ECC memory is supported. The dedicated GPU is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture with 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and a 128-bit memory bus running at an effective speed of 16,000 MHz for 256 GB/s of bandwidth, alongside integrated Radeon 780M graphics with 12 execution units. The GPU supports stereoscopic 3D, multi-display output, Double Precision Floating Point, OpenCL 3, and OpenGL 4.6, and does not have LHR restrictions. A PassMark DirectCompute result of 6,787 is also recorded.
