Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 (83GS004GFR)
The Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 (83GS004GFR) is a versatile 15-inch laptop with better-than-average colorimetry and performance in creative-oriented gaming.
Versatile, it certainly is thanks to its dual graphics solution composed of a dedicated GeForce RTX 4060 card and an Iris Xe module inserted in the processor.
It's NVIDIA Optimus technology that automatically switches in real time between the two. And this according to needs.
To promote autonomy, the Iris Xe is favored as much as possible by Optimus despite its much lower performance than those of the dedicated GPU, due to its reduced energy consumption.
In terms of autonomy, count on around 5 hours of battery operation in light use.
Optimus activates the GeForce RTX 4060 to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe. With either one, you can obviously watch HD photos and videos.
You can play recent games thanks to the dedicated high-end GeForce RTX 4060 ray tracing graphics card equipped with NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture.
Players will therefore be delighted, and creative people too. Because multimedia processing is accelerated by the GeForce RTX 4060 under software applications using GPU computing power, such as the Adobe suite, VSDC or Vegas.
