Looking to sell your Lenovo LOQ (2024) gaming laptop for cash? The 2024 lineup is the second generation (Gen 9) of Lenovo's budget-gaming sub-brand, and it brought a real redesign: the new Hyper-Chamber thermal system, removal of the side air vents in favor of rear-only exhaust, a circular Legion-style power button, and — on the Intel high-end models — a jump to desktop-grade Intel Core HX processors. The 2024 family spans 15-inch and 16-inch sizes across several platform tiers: 15IRX9 / 16IRX9 (Intel Core HX), 15IAX9 (Intel Core H, entry), and 15ARP9 / 15AHP9 / 16APH9 (AMD Ryzen). All pair with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series graphics. Before you request a quote, confirm your model code ends in 9 (as in 15IRX9) — the 2023 Gen 8 and 2025 Gen 10 laptops, and the LOQ Tower desktops, are separate products. This block is the 2024 laptops only. Select your configuration using our tool above for an instant cash offer, or trade it in through our gaming laptop trade-in service.

Which 2024 LOQ do you have?

The Gen 9 lineup splits across screen size and CPU platform. The model code on the bottom cover identifies yours — note that this generation has two different Intel tiers (HX vs. H):

15IRX9 / 16IRX9 — Intel HX

  • Intel Core HX (13th/14th-gen), the high-performance tier
  • 15.6" (16:9) or 16" (16:10)
  • IRX = Intel Raptor Lake-HX

15IAX9 — Intel H (entry)

  • Intel Core H-series (lower-power tier than HX)
  • 15.6" (16:9)
  • IAX = Intel Alder Lake-H entry platform

15ARP9 / 15AHP9 — AMD (15")

  • AMD Ryzen 7000/8040-series
  • 15.6" (16:9)
  • ARP / AHP = AMD Phoenix/Hawk Point

16APH9 — AMD (16")

  • AMD Ryzen 7000/8040-series
  • 16" (16:10, taller screen)
  • Larger chassis than the 15" models

Display & audio

Display

The 15-inch models use 16:9 panels: FHD (1920×1080) at 144Hz (300 nits, 100% sRGB, G-Sync) or WQHD (2560×1440) at 165Hz (350 nits, 100% sRGB). The 16-inch models use taller 16:10 panels up to WQXGA (2560×1600). All are anti-glare, non-touch IPS with a MUX switch and TÜV Low Blue Light. Resolution and refresh rate strongly affect resale value.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have a 2024 (Gen 9) LOQ, and which model is it?
Read the model code on the bottom cover. The final digit is the generation: 9 = 2024 (this block), while 8 = 2023 and 10 = 2025. The middle letters give the platform: IRX is Intel Core HX (high-end), IAX is Intel Core H (entry), and ARP / AHP / APH are AMD Ryzen. The leading number is the screen size (15 or 16). So a "15IRX9" is a 2024 15-inch Intel HX model. Our guide to finding your Lenovo model number shows exactly where to look.
02 Can I sell a LOQ with wear, a weak battery, or other issues?
Yes. We buy laptops in every working condition. Whether your LOQ runs like new, has an aging battery, loud fans, worn hinges, or a cracked screen, setting the condition grade above locks in a firm cash value. Selling several at once? Our bulk selling program handles multiple units in one quote.
03 Should I pull my SSD or wipe it before boxing the laptop?
Back up your files and game saves to an external drive or the cloud and sign out of your Windows and Microsoft accounts before packing. You don't need to remove the M.2 SSD yourself — our team runs certified, multi-pass data sanitation on every incoming drive. See the full process on our data erasure protocols page.
04 Which configurations raise my 2024 LOQ trade-in value the most?
The GPU is the biggest value driver: an RTX 4060 commands the strongest payout, followed by the RTX 4050, then the RTX 3050 tiers. The Intel HX models (IRX9) with a Core i7-13650HX or i7-14700HX tend to hold more value than the entry IAX9 tier. From there, 32GB of RAM, a 1TB+ SSD, and the WQHD 165Hz display all raise your final offer. First time selling a laptop online? Our first-time seller guide covers the whole process.
05 How fast do I get paid after shipping my LOQ?
Once your LOQ reaches our diagnostics lab and passes functional testing, payment is approved within two business days. We pay via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or CashApp, or by mailed check. Your prepaid shipping label is free and fully insured start to finish — see how it works for the full walkthrough.
