Lenovo LOQ 15APH8

The 15APH8 line of laptops as part of Lenovo's LOQ series in 2023 combines mid-budget gaming solutions with a 15.6-inch screen. These devices are positioned as the younger brothers of the top Legion gaming laptops. They are made in a similar design, have a slightly more modest hardware, but at the same time they provide advanced developments of the brand. For example, all Lenovo LOQ 15APH8 laptops have acquired a specialized LA AI chip, which, using machine learning, optimizes the performance of the hardware and is designed to improve FPS in games and system operating parameters (including heat dissipation efficiency under high loads).

All members of the family are based on AMD Phoenix (Zen 4) processors, but these can be either 6-core Ryzen 5 or 8-core Ryzen 7. The “engine” works in tandem with powerful DDR5 RAM ranging from 8 to 64 GB . NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050/4050/4060 discrete video cards are responsible for graphics processing: they all support hardware ray tracing technologies. Gaming fans can also enjoy 3 months of free access to Xbox Game Pass games.

A 15.6-inch IPS screen with 1920 by 1080 pixel detail, a 144 Hz refresh rate (as well as adaptive synchronization technologies) and a peak brightness of 350 nits is responsible for displaying the image here. Other hardware features include solid-state drives SSD M.2 from 512 GB, stereo speakers with a Realtek ALC3287 audio chip, and a 60 Wh battery. The latter provides up to 6.5 hours of autonomy, supports fast charging (up to 80% in an hour) and power supply via USB C (Power Delivery). The presence of a backlit keyboard, a gigabit LAN port and a Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless module also deserve special mention.
