Is the RTX 5070 Laptop GPU enough for 1440p gaming?

Yes. It targets high frame rates at the QHD+ resolution of the built-in panel, and it handles current AAA titles at high settings with DLSS enabled.

How does it compare with the previous G18?

The G815 moves to Intel's Core Ultra 9 275HX and RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, so it offers newer silicon and improved efficiency over older G18 models.

Is the 240Hz screen worth it over a 165Hz panel?

For competitive shooters, yes. The higher refresh makes motion clearer, and the QHD+ resolution keeps detail sharp.

Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?

Yes. The G18 has accessible SO-DIMM memory slots and M.2 SSD slots, so you can add RAM and a second drive.

How loud is it under load?

In performance and turbo modes the fans are clearly audible; silent mode is quieter but limits performance.

What comes in the box?

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

Our take on the ASUS ROG Strix G18 G815LP-XS97 Gaming Laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 G815 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around Intel's Core Ultra 9 275HX and Nvidia's GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, with a 240Hz QHD+ display. It targets players who want desktop-class screen size and frame rates without a tower, and it competes with 18-inch rivals like the Alienware m18 and Acer Predator Helios 18 on cooling headroom and screen refresh rate. The chassis is heavy and the fans get loud under load, so it suits a plugged-in desk setup more than daily carrying.
