18-inch 2.5K 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 2560 x 1600 display running at 240Hz. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU carrying 8GB of DDR7 video memory. The system includes 32GB of DDR4 memory and a 4TB PCIe SSD. It ships with Windows 11 Pro.

Suits high-refresh competitive play.

This configuration suits gamers who want a large, high-refresh panel and strong multi-core CPU performance for streaming or content work alongside play. The 18.0-inch chassis and 7.05 lbs weight make it a desk-bound machine, so buyers who prioritise thin-and-light mobility should look elsewhere. The 24-core processor and RTX 5060 8GB combination targets 2.5K gaming at high frame rates rather than 4K ultra settings.

RTX 5060 8GB GPU decides 2.5K high-refresh viability

The single specification that determines whether this laptop fits your workload is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU with 8GB of DDR7 memory. It drives the 2560 x 1600 240Hz panel in modern titles at high settings, while the 24-core Ultra 9 275HX and 32GB DDR4 keep background tasks smooth. If your workflow demands more video memory for 4K textures or professional GPU compute, a higher-tier GPU is required.

Questions about this item

Can the 32 GB DDR4 memory or 4 TB PCIe SSD be upgraded later?

The laptop ships with 32 GB DDR4 and a 4 TB PCIe SSD; both use standard laptop modules, so a technician can replace them with higher-capacity parts if required.

Which component hits its thermal limit first during extended gaming sessions?

The Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 24-core CPU and RTX 5060 8 GB GPU share the cooling system; under sustained load the CPU typically reaches its thermal ceiling before the GPU.

How loud are the fans and what is the power draw when the 240 Hz 500-nit display runs all day?

Fan noise rises to an audible level under full load, and the 275HX plus RTX 5060 combination draws substantially more power than at idle, so expect noticeable airflow and higher battery consumption.
