Chassis, connectors, screen of the Lenovo LOQ 17IRX10 (83JH009RFR)

This versatile laptop computer, targeting gamers and creators, has an original, elegant appearance with its angular Luna Gray silver design and connectors positioned mainly at the rear and on the right, with the left side devoid of any ports.

This creative gaming laptop PC offers good wired connectivity with no less than 5 USBs including 1 very fast USB-C, practical for connecting peripherals (e.g. mouse, headset, gamepad, printer, external storage), Ethernet and audio ports as well as an HDMI video output thanks to which it can easily be connected to a TV or monitor in particular.
On the other hand, the Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless modules are not the most recent but do not stand out compared to the generation of the processor.

The chiclet keyboard of course has a backlighting solution, here of the 24-zone RGB type, which is appreciable. You can activate it whenever you need to better distinguish the keys, typically in a dimly lit environment.

Gamers will be delighted with the 165Hz refresh rate, which is higher than the standard 60Hz because it provides much better overall fluidity, including in games.
The Full HD screen also reproduces colors more faithfully than average while providing significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, thanks to its sRGB and IPS specifications.
Due to its anti-reflective coating, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (e.g. near a window) than a shiny panel while being less tiring for the eyes during prolonged use.

To exploit the full potential of this laptop, it is necessary to install a complete operating system, such as a Linux or Windows distribution.

For example, we can take advantage of NVIDIA Optimus technology. It evaluates graphics needs in real time based on the tasks performed: when the performance of the graphics solution integrated into the processor proves insufficient, Optimus automatically switches to the dedicated graphics card.

The integrated solution is used to the maximum by Optimus despite its much lower performance because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy compared to the more demanding and powerful dedicated GPU. With one or the other, watching HD photos and videos, including streaming, is of course possible.

Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo LOQ 17IRX10 (83JH009RFR)

The Lenovo LOQ 17IRX10 (83JH009RFR) may appeal to those who wish to acquire a high-performance, versatile 17-inch laptop for gaming and creating equipped with a recent graphics card.

In fact, it features a latest generation NVIDIA graphics card. Blackwellin this case the GeForce RTX 5060 ray tracing which is able to deliver its full capabilities since its TDP is not restricted, which not all configurations can boast of.
In addition, the Full HD definition of the screen ensures a higher number of fps than High Definition (eg: 2.5K) because it requires fewer graphics calculations.

As a result, gamers can play recent games with the GeForce RTX 5060 which will also delight creatives since it accelerates processing in applications using GPU computing power, such as Vegas, VSDC or the Adobe suite.

The heart of this computer supports the GeForce RTX 5060 well in its tasks. But not only that. Because the solid general performance it provides will delight as many users as possible, such as creators.

In fact it is made up of an Intel Core i7-13700HX processor, certainly from an older generation. Raptor Lake but which still proves to be relevant, executing processing much faster than a classic Quad/Hexa/Octo Core in areas that are intensive in CPU resources taking advantage of multi-cores, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.
The Core i7-13700HX is accompanied here by 16 GB of RAM which we appreciate being able to increase in the future: simply integrate a RAM strip into the free DDR5 slot.

Scalability also affects storage since an M.2 slot is available to accommodate a second SSD.
Basic Lenovo integrates a classic solution equipping many models including (much) more expensive, namely a 512 GB SSD to install a lot of applications, games and various files such as personal creations.

Very fast in addition to being energy efficient and quiet, the SSD obviously contributes to the great responsiveness and fluidity of this versatile laptop under which you can quickly access online game cards while launching games/software, starting/stopping or even arriving on online game cards are done quickly.

Finally, this versatile creative gaming laptop PC with less than average battery life of 3 hours (with Optimus, half as much without) heats up and is noisy under heavy load (e.g. games, treatments).
If necessary to contain its temperatures, we can add a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
