Our take on the Asus ROG Strix G18
The ROG Strix G18 is Asus's 18-inch gaming laptop, built around a 2560x1600 panel at 240Hz and a 14-core Intel Core i7 with a dedicated Nvidia GPU. The big chassis leaves room for strong cooling and a 2TB SSD, so it runs demanding games and heavy creative work without throttling as quickly as thinner 16-inch rivals. It suits gamers who want a large, fast screen and desktop-like performance and rarely carry the machine far. Against slimmer competitors it trades portability and battery life for screen size, cooling headroom and upgradeable RAM.

- 14-core Intel Core i7 with a dedicated GPU

What reviewers say
Owners and reviewers treat the Strix G18 as a strong big-screen gaming machine, praising its fast 240Hz display, sustained performance and cooling. Common complaints are weight, fan noise and battery life, plus the low-resolution webcam.
- DisplayPraisedOwners like the sharp 2560x1600 resolution and the smooth 240Hz refresh rate for fast games.
- PerformancePraisedReviewers say the 14-core i7 and dedicated GPU keep frame rates high in demanding titles.
- CoolingMixedThe large chassis handles heat well, but fans ramp up loudly under load.
Questions and answers
- Is the 240Hz screen worth it over a 165Hz panel?
- For fast shooters and esports, yes. The 240Hz refresh with a 3ms response makes motion clearer, and the 2560x1600 resolution keeps detail sharp for work.
- Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
- Yes. There are two RAM slots, expandable to 32GB of DDR5, and the 2TB SSD can be swapped or added to. Access requires removing the bottom panel.
- How does it compare with a 16-inch gaming laptop?
- It gives you a bigger screen and more cooling room, so it sustains performance longer. The trade-off is weight, size and battery life.
- Is it good for video editing and 3D work?
- Yes. The 14-core i7, dedicated GPU and 32GB RAM ceiling handle editing, rendering and 3D modeling well, and the color-accurate high-resolution screen helps.
- Does it have Thunderbolt or a fingerprint reader?
- It has two USB-C ports, HDMI and USB-A, with Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, but no Thunderbolt and no fingerprint or facial login.
- What comes in the box?
- The laptop, its power adapter and documentation. A mouse and headset are not included.
