Lenovo LOQ 15 15IRX9 (Intel i7-14700HX, RTX 4060, 16GB, 1TB, 15.6″ FHD 144Hz)

Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) 15IRX9 Overview:

Here’s a brief description of the Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) 15IRX9 with the Intel i7-14700HX CPU and RTX 4060 GPU.

Design and Display 

We don’t see much departure in the looks department. The new LOQ 15 features a plastic chassis with a decent build like its predecessor (LOQ 15 2023 Review). It weighs about 2.4 kg and is available in Luna Grey color option.

The display panel is a 15.6 inch IPS LCD of Full HD res and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It does have good enough colors at 100% sRGB coverage and features a matte coating. And since it’s a gaming laptop, you do get a fast 144Hz refresh rate with G-Sync support.

Performance and Memory 

Now, let’s talk about the new processor. The Core i7-14700HX in the LOQ 15 (2024) is a 20-core, 28-thread chip that has extra efficiency cores (12 > 8), and higher clock speeds than its predecessor (5.5 GHz max clock vs 5.0 GHz) which should bring a performance boost in both single-threaded as well as max load workflows. The 14700HX is a Raptor Lake refresh CPU and is not based on the new Meteor Lake architecture with an Intel 4 process node. But since efficiency, and a better iGPU aren’t the top priorities when it comes to a gaming laptop, the Raptor Lake i7 is a fine choice for the LOQ 15 (2024). Oh! and you have Lenovo’s AI chip (LA1 in this model) for an even better gaming experience and dual fans for cooling.

Currently, you can purchase the Lenovo LOQ 15 (2024) with an NVIDIA RTX 4060 GPU with 8 GB of GDDR6 VRAM and a 115W TGP in Nepal. As other configurations make their way, we’ll keep updating the article. The laptop comes with 16GB of fast DDR5 (5600MHz) RAM with an extra slot for future upgrades. On the SSD side, you get a 1TB Gen 4 model with an additional M.2 slot.

Battery and Extras

Under the hood of the Lenovo LOQ 15 2024 (i7-14700HX, RTX 4060), there’s a decent 60Wh battery and you get a 230W Slim Tip charger in the box that refills the machine in just about an hour. On the ports side, you get three USB-A’s, one type C, an HDMI, a headphone jack, and an ethernet port. The USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port also supports 140W charging.

Wireless connectivity options include dual-band WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. There’s an E-shutter over the 720p webcam and the keyboard features 4-Zone RGB lighting as well.
