Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (83DV00K6UK)

The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 is a 15.6-inch entry-level gaming laptop with a discrete RTX 4060 Laptop GPU. This configuration has the 14-core Core i7-13650HX, 24 GB of DDR5 in two SODIMM slots, a 144 Hz FHD IPS screen, gigabit Ethernet and HDMI 2.1. Testing liked the screen colours and easy servicing; the plastic chassis, 60 Wh battery, lack of Thunderbolt/USB4 and slow grey-to-grey response were criticised.

LOQ 15IRX9, MTM 83DV00K6UK: Core i7-13650HX, RTX 4060 Laptop GPU, 24 GB DDR5-4800 (2 × 12 GB), 1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 QLC SSD, Windows 11 Home. The LOQ 15IAX9 and 15AHP9 are different platforms.

Specifications

SpecificationValue
ProcessorIntel Core i7-13650HX; 14 cores (6 P + 8 E), 20 threads, up to 4.9 GHz

HX processors are high-power mobile chips; sustained power and fan noise depend on Lenovo’s power modes.

GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR6; 115 W TGP with the 230 W adapter, 105 W with the 170 W adapter

TGP is the sustained power limit given to the GPU; on the same GPU a higher TGP usually means higher gaming performance. Lenovo ties TGP on this platform to the wattage of the bundled adapter.

Memory24 GB DDR5-4800 (2 × 12 GB SODIMM); two slots, up to 32 GB

Memory is not soldered; both slots come filled, so an upgrade means replacing both modules. The 32 GB limit is Lenovo’s platform statement.

Storage1 TB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 NVMe QLC SSD; two M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slots

The second M.2 slot allows an extra SSD. QLC flash can slow down sooner than TLC during long, large writes.

Display15.6-inch FHD (1920 × 1080) IPS, 144 Hz, 300 nits, 100% sRGB, anti-glare; NVIDIA G-SYNC

144 Hz shows smooth motion up to 144 frames per second in games; G-SYNC matches the refresh to the GPU’s frame rate to reduce tearing.

Ports1 × USB-C 10 Gbps (USB PD 65–100 W input, DisplayPort 1.4); 3 × USB-A 5 Gbps; HDMI 2.1; RJ-45 gigabit Ethernet; 3.5 mm headphone/mic

Charging over USB-C works, but 140 W input needs Lenovo’s own adapter; the slim-tip port remains the main power input for gaming. There is no Thunderbolt or USB4.

WirelessWi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) 2x2; Bluetooth 5.2
Battery and adapter60 Wh lithium-ion; up to 50% in 30 minutes with Rapid Charge Pro; 170 W or 230 W slim-tip adapter

Lenovo rates it at 4.1 hours in MobileMark 25 and 5.6 hours of local 1080p video at 150 nits.

Keyboard, camera and audio6-row keyboard with number pad (4-zone RGB or white backlight); FHD or HD camera with privacy shutter; 2 × 2 W speakers, Nahimic
Size and weight359.86 × 258.7 × 21.9–23.9 mm; from 2.38 kg
Operating systemWindows 11 Home

Strengths and limitations

  • In Notebookcheck’s i5-13450HX / RTX 4060 / 16 GB LOQ 15IRX9 test unit, the same type of BOE 144 Hz panel reached 310 nits peak, 1457:1 contrast and 99.1% sRGB coverage, with good out-of-box colours and no PWM flicker. Black-to-white response is good, but the 50–80% grey transition at 42.2 ms is slow for competitive games. Cyberpunk 2077 ran at 70 fps and 54 dB(A) in performance mode, 52 fps and 39 dB(A) in quiet mode. The bottom cover comes off easily, nothing is glued and the second M.2 slot is free. The plastic chassis, slight keyboard flex, 60 Wh battery, no Thunderbolt/USB4 and Realtek Wi-Fi slower than Intel cards are listed as drawbacks.

    Notebookcheck, Sascha Mölck, 11 July 2024; a different i5-13450HX configuration. CPU and system results were not applied to this i7 SKU; display and chassis findings apply to the same platform.
