Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 Intel Core i7-13650HX RTX 4050 6GB 16GB RAM 512GB SSD Gaming Laptop

Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 Price in Nepal & Overview

The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 is a 2024 mid-range gaming laptop built around Intel’s Raptor Lake HX platform — pairing the 14-core i7-13650HX with a high-wattage RTX 4050 at 105W TGP, Hyperchamber cooling, and a 100% sRGB display in Lenovo’s proven Luna Grey chassis.
Available at our Kathmandu showrooms for a special offer price of Rs. 192,400 (discounted from the regular retail price of Rs. 230,000), including a 1-year warranty and free laptop bag, gaming mouse, and mousepad.
Three honest things to know before buying: this is the 2024 LOQ chassis (15IRX9), not the newer 2025 IRX10 model — performance is comparable but buyers who want the latest generation should compare the LOQ 15IRX10 with RTX 5060 at Rs. 233,000. The ASUS TUF A16 FA607NUQ in our own catalog has the same RTX 4050 GPU at Rs. 184,490 — Rs. 7,910 less; the LOQ 15IRX9 justifies the premium through its higher 105W TGP, USB-C 140W PD charging with DisplayPort 1.4, and Lenovo’s LA1 AI thermal chip. And with a 60Wh battery, expect 3–4 hours of real-world gaming — this is a plugged-in performance machine, not an all-day portable.

Why the LOQ 15IRX9 Justifies Its Premium Over Same-GPU Alternatives

At Rs. 192,400, this laptop costs Rs. 7,910 more than the ASUS TUF A16 FA607NUQ with the same RTX 4050 6GB. The reasons worth paying for:
First, the RTX 4050 in the LOQ 15IRX9 runs at 105W TGP — the same GPU in many competing laptops runs at 60–75W. The wattage difference directly translates to higher clock speeds, more rendering throughput, and better sustained performance in long gaming sessions. Second, USB-C PD charging at 140W with DisplayPort 1.4 means you can charge the laptop from any 140W USB-C charger and drive an external display from the same port — no power brick required if you have a compatible USB-C dock. Third, the LA1 AI thermal management chip dynamically adjusts power allocation between CPU and GPU based on workload, reducing throttling during extended gaming sessions compared to laptops without dedicated thermal controllers.

Who This Laptop Is For

This laptop suits gamers, developers, and content creators who want a 14-core HX processor with genuine multi-threaded headroom — code compilation, 3D rendering, video encoding, and gaming simultaneously without bottlenecking the CPU. The 105W RTX 4050 handles most popular titles at 1080p high to ultra settings comfortably. The 100% sRGB display means color-accurate creative work alongside gaming, without needing an external display for photo or video editing.
The USB-C port with 140W PD and DisplayPort 1.4 is a practical daily advantage — you can charge, connect to an external monitor, and transfer data from a single USB-C hub without carrying the barrel adapter.
However, buyers who primarily want maximum frames per rupee at 1080p should compare the ASUS TUF A16 FA607NUQ with the same RTX 4050 at Rs. 184,490 — Rs. 7,910 less for similar GPU performance. And buyers who want current-generation GPU architecture (DLSS 4, Frame Generation) should look at the LOQ 15AHP10 with RTX 5050 at Rs. 201,500.

Upgrade Options

The two SO-DIMM slots hold 16GB of DDR5-4800 and can be expanded to 32GB by adding a matching stick. Both slots are accessible.
For storage, the second M.2 slot is free and accepts any standard M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD — a regular aftermarket drive from Kingston, WD, or Samsung will fit the second slot without any bracket or adapter. Note that the pre-installed primary drive is a shorter M.2 2242 format in a 2280 slot; if you replace the primary drive, use either a 2242 drive with a bracket or a standard 2280 drive that fills the slot fully.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 (i7-13650HX, RTX 4050) in Nepal?
The Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 i7 variant is priced at Rs. 192,400 at Alam Tech, Kathmandu (discounted from Rs. 230,000), including a 1-year Lenovo authorized warranty and a free laptop bag, gaming mouse, and mousepad.

What is the RTX 4050 TGP in the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9?
The RTX 4050 in the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 runs at 105W TGP — at the higher end of what RTX 4050 gaming laptops offer. Many competing laptops with the same GPU run at 60–75W, which directly limits performance. The 105W configuration in this chassis delivers meaningfully higher sustained frame rates under load.

Does the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 support USB-C charging?
Yes. The USB-C port supports Lenovo PD 140W charging and DisplayPort 1.4 output. You can charge the laptop from any 140W USB-C charger or dock — the included 170W barrel adapter is not the only option.

Can a standard M.2 2280 SSD be added to the Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9?
Yes. The secondary M.2 slot accepts standard M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSDs. The pre-installed primary SSD is a shorter M.2 2242 format, but the second expansion slot is standard 2280 — any regular aftermarket NVMe drive will fit without modification.

Where can I buy the genuine Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 i7 in Kathmandu?
It is available at Alam Tech showrooms in Tebahal, Near New Road, and Putalisadak, opposite Nepal Investment Mega Bank, with official Lenovo warranty through Nagmani International.
