ASUS ROG Strix G18 gaming laptop, Ryzen 9 8940HX, RTX 5070, 64GB, 1TB

18-inch WQXGA 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 pairs an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX 16-core processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 GPU for high-refresh competitive play and content creation. Sixty-four gigabytes of DDR5 memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD provide ample headroom for multitasking and large project files. An 18.0-inch 2560 x 1600 panel running at 240 Hz delivers sharp motion clarity. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed for professional workflows.

Sustained-load thermal behaviour

Dual USB4 Type-C ports rated at 40 Gbps each support DisplayPort, G-SYNC and power delivery for external displays and docks without throttling the internal link. An HDMI 2.1 FRL output drives high-resolution external monitors at high refresh rates. Two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports and a 3.5 mm combo jack handle peripherals and audio. A wired RJ45 LAN port ensures stable low-latency networking alongside Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

Pre-order compatibility checklist

Verify that your workspace can accommodate the 15.71 x 11.57 x .91 inch chassis and 6.61 lb weight for transport or desk mounting. Confirm that your existing docks, monitors and power adapters match the USB4, HDMI 2.1 and 3.5 mm audio interfaces listed. Ensure your network infrastructure supports Wi-Fi 6E or wired Gigabit Ethernet for the advertised wireless and LAN performance.
