18-inch 2.5K 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU with 8GB DDR7 video memory. It ships with 32GB DDR4 system memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD. The 16:10 WQXGA panel runs at 2560 x 1600 resolution and 240Hz refresh rate with 500 nits brightness.

Sustained load behaviour

The 24-core CPU reaches a turbo frequency of 5.4 GHz for short bursts, while the 24-thread design spreads heavy multi-tasking across performance and efficient cores. The RTX 5060 8GB DDR7 GPU delivers consistent frame output in extended sessions. The chassis measures 15.71 x 11.73 x 1.26 inches and weighs 7.05 lbs, providing thermal mass for prolonged workloads.

Pre-order setup checks

Verify that your external displays support HDMI 2.1 FRL for full 2.5K high-refresh output. Confirm your network infrastructure can utilise Wi-Fi 7 for low-latency wireless gaming. Ensure your workspace accommodates the 18.0-inch footprint and 1.26-inch thickness. Check that any USB-C docks or hubs match the Thunderbolt 4 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports provided.
