18-inch 2.5k 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 pairs an 18.0" 2560 x 1600 IPS panel at 240Hz with an AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX 16-core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 8GB graphics. 32GB DDR5 memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD complete the core specification for high-refresh competitive play and content creation.

Upgrade from 60Hz panels or 8-core CPUs

Moving from a standard 60Hz display to the 240Hz panel cuts motion blur in fast titles, while the jump to 16 cores and 5.4 GHz turbo frequency reduces compile times and stream encoding load. The RTX 5070 8GB GPU lifts frame rates above what integrated or previous-generation discrete graphics can sustain at 2.5k resolution.

Sustained load behaviour

The chassis measures 15.71" x 11.57" x 1.21" and weighs 6.61 pounds, providing thermal mass for extended sessions. Wi-Fi6E and RJ45 Ethernet keep network latency stable during long matches, while the 4-zone RGB keyboard and Dolby Atmos audio remain responsive without throttling the CPU or GPU clocks.

Questions about this item

What are the exact chassis dimensions of the 18" ROG Strix G18 so I can confirm it fits my bag?

The laptop measures 15.71 inches wide, 11.57 inches deep and 1.21 inches thick, weighing 6.61 pounds.

Which screw type secures the bottom panel for the RAM and SSD upgrade, and what torque do I use?

The panel uses standard Phillips-head screws; remove all visible screws, then gently pry from a corner — do not force the centre clips.

How often should the liquid-metal thermal compound on the Ryzen 9 9955HX be inspected or replaced?

ASUS applies liquid metal at the factory; it is not user-serviceable and does not have a scheduled replacement interval under normal use.
