18-inch 240 Hz WQXGA panel

This ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 2560x1600 display running at 240 Hz. An AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor with 16 cores and 32 threads boosts to 5.3 GHz. A dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU provides 8 GB of GDDR7 memory. The system ships with Windows 11 Pro.

Suits high-refresh competitive play.

The 240 Hz panel and RTX 5070 combination targets players who value fluid motion in fast-paced titles. Only 16 GB of DDR5 SO-DIMM memory is installed, so creators running large textures or virtual machines should look at configurations with higher capacity.

8 TB PCIe NVMe SSD decides storage flexibility

A single 8 TB PCIe NVMe drive holds the operating system, games and media without requiring a secondary drive. No additional internal storage bays are mentioned, so total capacity is fixed at this figure.
