Is the RTX 5060 enough for modern games?

Yes for 1080p and the 1900x1200 panel, especially with DLSS enabled. Expect high settings in most current titles, but not maximum ray tracing at high frame rates.

Is 144Hz a problem for gaming?

It is fine for most players, but competitive shooters benefit from 240Hz panels found on some rivals. The 18-inch screen is better suited to immersive single-player games.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

The Strix G18 line typically has accessible SO-DIMM slots and a second M.2 slot, so memory and SSD upgrades are possible. Check the specific configuration before buying.

How does it compare with a 16-inch Strix?

The 18-inch model gives a bigger screen and more cooling room but is heavier. The 16-inch version is easier to carry and often offers a faster display option.

Is it good for video editing and 3D work?

The 16-core i7 and 32GB of RAM handle editing and 3D rendering well. The RTX 5060 accelerates GPU workloads, though workstation-class GPUs are faster for heavy rendering.

What comes in the box?

The laptop, a power adapter and standard documentation. A mouse and headset are not included.

About the ASUS ROG Strix G18 18" Gaming Laptop, Core i7-14650HX, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, RTX 5060

The ROG Strix G18 is a large 18-inch gaming laptop built around Intel's 14th-gen Core i7-14650HX and an Nvidia RTX 5060, with 32GB of DDR5 and a 1TB PCIe SSD. Its 18-inch 1900x1200 IPS panel runs at 144Hz, which is a modest refresh rate for a gaming machine at this size. The big chassis gives it room to cool a 16-core CPU and a discrete GPU, and the 32GB of memory is generous for gaming, streaming and heavy multitasking. It suits people who want desktop-like screen space and power and rarely carry the laptop far; rivals at 16 inches are easier to move but offer less screen.

Best forGamers who want a big 18-inch screen and stay mostly at a deskPlayers who stream or run heavy multitasking alongside gamesBuyers who want 32GB of RAM out of the boxStudents or workers who need a large display for creative apps
