Chassis, connectors, screen of the Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 (83GS00F0FR)

This versatile, gamer- and creator-oriented laptop has an elegant gamer look with its angular Luna Gray silver design and connectors positioned mainly at the rear, robust due to its compliance with the American military resistance standard MIL-STD. -810H.

This versatile gaming laptop PC offers good connectivity with its USB-C, Ethernet and audio ports, its 6-ax Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.2 modules for wireless remote connections and communications, its practical HDMI video output for connecting it easily to a TV or a monitor for example as well as its 3 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 devices are plugged into it.

When you need to better distinguish the keys, you can simply activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.

The screen benefits from sRGB colorimetry that is more faithful than average as well as IPS technology providing significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
It will interest gamers since it has a frequency of 144Hz which clearly reinforces general fluidity, including in games, compared to the standard 60Hz.
The Full HD screen, which lends itself well to displaying videos due to its 16:9 format, adopts an anti-reflective coating ensuring better visibility in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a glossy panel.

Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 (83GS00F0FR)

The Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9 (83GS00F0FR) is a sleek, high-performance 15-inch all-purpose laptop with a gaming and creative focus.

It benefits from a good amount of RAM of 24 GB above average to be comfortable in terms of RAM as well as multitasking. And calmly support the processor, a Core i5-12450H with 8 hybrid cores and Iris Xe integrated graphics solution with older generation Intel Alder Lake architecture, certainly, but which delivers very good general performance.

Multimedia processing is carried out more quickly with these components than if we were dealing with a classic Quad Core and 16 GB DDR4/5, the difference being particularly notable in areas demanding CPU and RAM resources taking advantage of multi-core.

Creative people will appreciate it, especially since their processing under applications taking advantage of GPU computing power is accelerated by the dedicated GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere graphics card, also an older generation. This is for example the case with the Adobe, Vegas or VSDC suite.

In addition to creators, gamers will appreciate being able to play games that are not too demanding on 3D resources thanks to the GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing.

The GeForce RTX 3050 is in practice activated by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe.

Whether with the GeForce RTX 3050 or the Iris Xe, you can watch HD photos and videos. The second is favored as much as possible by Optimus despite its significantly lower performance, because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy.
Expect approximately 5 hours of battery operation in light use.

In fact Optimus automatically switches in real time as needed between the Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 3050.

On the storage side, Lenovo opts for a classic solution that is found in many models, including (significantly) more expensive: a 512 GB SSD.
Good news, however, for those who need more space: an M.2 slot is available to insert a second SSD.
You can also expand the storage by connecting an external storage unit. Opting for a USB 3.0/USB-C device in this case represents an interesting solution to benefit from fast transfers.

In any case, remember that an SSD offers several advantages such as low energy consumption, silent operation, a robust design as well as high speed.

This reinforces reactivity and fluidity on a daily basis, which translates in particular into rapid launches of games/software as well as processing and starts/stops, or even by the fact that we quickly reach the game cards in line.

As for heating and noise, expect them to be high during heavy use (e.g. games, processing) of this versatile gaming and creation-oriented laptop PC.
To contain its temperatures, we can add a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
