18" FHD+ 144Hz 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 5050 GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. It ships with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 2TB PCIe SSD running Windows 11 Home.

Suited For High Refresh Esports And Multitasking

The 144Hz panel and 16 core CPU suit competitive shooters and streamers who need consistent frame rates while encoding or running background apps. Buyers who prioritise ultra portability or 4K resolution should consider smaller or higher resolution alternatives.

32GB DDR5 And 2TB PCIe Storage Headroom

32GB DDR5 handles modern AAA titles, heavy browser workloads and creative suites without paging. The 2TB PCIe SSD holds a large game library and project files. Memory is not user upgradeable beyond the factory configuration so plan for long term needs at purchase.
