18-inch WQXGA 240Hz Gaming Laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. It pairs 32GB of DDR5 RAM with a 1TB PCIe SSD and runs Windows 11 Pro. The 2560 x 1600 display refreshes at 240Hz for smooth motion in competitive titles.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This machine suits gamers and creators who want a large high-refresh screen, strong multi-core CPU performance and a modern mobile GPU in a single chassis. The 18-inch form factor and 6.61 lbs weight make it less practical for daily commuting or cramped workspaces. Buyers needing extended battery life away from mains power or a lighter device for travel should consider smaller alternatives.

The specification that decides fit

The 240Hz WQXGA panel is the single specification that decides fit. If your workflow or gaming depends on a large 18-inch canvas at 2560 x 1600 with 240Hz refresh, this display matches that requirement. If you need a different resolution, aspect ratio or refresh rate, the panel will not meet your needs.

Questions about this item

Will the 18 inch 240Hz WQXGA panel fit on a standard desk?

The chassis measures 15.71 x 11.57 x 0.91 inches and weighs 6.61 lbs so it needs a deep surface but no special mount.

Can I plug two external 4K monitors into the USB4 ports?

Both Type-C USB4 ports support DisplayPort and run at up to 40Gbps so they can drive two 4K displays simultaneously.

Is the 1TB drive user-replaceable and does it use PCIe?

Yes the 1TB SSD is PCIe and the original seal is opened by engineers for upgrades so the slot is accessible for a future swap.
