18-inch 2.5K 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 is an 18.0-inch gaming laptop with a 2560 x 1600 resolution display running at 240Hz. It is powered by an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor with 24 cores and a turbo frequency of 5.4 GHz. The system includes an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU with 12GB of GDDR7 memory, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe SSD. It ships with Windows 11 Pro and an Office 2024 license.

Competitive gamers and content creators needing

This configuration suits competitive gamers who value the 240Hz panel and creators who benefit from the 24-core CPU and 12GB of video memory. Users who prioritise maximum portability should look elsewhere given the 6.28-pound weight and 15.71 x 11.73 x 0.93-inch chassis. Buyers needing an SD card reader or a fingerprint reader will not find those features on this model.

Professional upgrade service performed before

The manufacturer seal is opened by engineers to perform upgrades and run in-depth inspection and testing before the unit ships. This process reduces factory defects and blemishes. Upgraded RAM and SSD components carry a separate one-year warranty while original components retain the standard manufacturer coverage. The laptop arrives tested and ready to use.

Questions about this item

What must I already own to use the Thunderbolt 5 ports on this laptop?

You need a Thunderbolt 5-certified cable and a compatible dock, monitor or storage device; standard USB-C accessories will work but only at their own rated speeds.

Can I keep using my older USB 3.2 Type-A mouse and keyboard with the three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports?

Yes, the three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports accept existing Type-A peripherals directly.

How can I verify the 240 Hz panel is running at its native 2560 x 1600 resolution after setup?

Open Windows Display Settings and confirm the resolution shows 2560 x 1600 with a 240 Hz refresh-rate option selected.
