Product Identity

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 G814PH-ES94-HID12 is an 18" gaming laptop built around a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 graphics card with 8 GB GDDR7 memory. It ships with 64 GB DDR5 RAM and a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD, targeting enthusiasts who need high core counts and fast storage in a portable chassis.

Installation Notes

The unit arrives with Windows 11 Home pre-installed and a full quality check completed by the BTO dealer, including BIOS and driver updates, stress testing and hardware inspection. No user assembly is required; the only typical issue is ensuring the latest GPU driver is downloaded after first boot to match the RTX 5050.

Pre-Purchase Checks

Verify that your workspace can accommodate the 15.71" x 11.57" footprint and 6.61 lb weight, and confirm the 1920 x 1200 144 Hz WUXGA panel meets your visual requirements. Ensure your peripherals and external displays connect via the available I/O, and check that your power environment supports the supplied adapter for the 5.2 GHz max turbo CPU.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 144 Hz WUXGA panel and RTX 5050 are running at full speed after setup?

Open the NVIDIA Control Panel and verify the GPU shows RTX 5050 with 8 GB GDDR7; in Windows display settings confirm the 18" screen is set to 1920 x 1200 at 144 Hz.

What ships inside the box and what must I source separately?

The laptop, power adapter and Windows 11 Home licence are included; no extra RAM, SSD or thermal paste is needed because 64 GB DDR5, 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe and Gelid GC Extreme on the GPU are pre-installed.

Which configuration should I choose between the listed versions?

Only one SKU exists — G814PH-ES94-HID12 with Ryzen 9 8940HX, 64 GB DDR5 5600 MHz, 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe, RTX 5050 8 GB GDDR7 and 18" 144 Hz WUXGA — so no capacity or version decision is required.
