18-inch 2.5K 240Hz Mini LED

The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 2.5K 240Hz Mini LED display. It runs on an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX 24-core processor with a 5.4 GHz turbo frequency. The system includes an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop GPU with 16GB GDDR7 video memory, 64GB DDR5 memory and a 1TB PCIe SSD.

Thunderbolt 5 ports for high-speed I/O

This configuration suits users who need Thunderbolt 5 connectivity for external GPUs, high-resolution displays or fast storage arrays. The three USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1 and 2.5 Gbps LAN cover most desk setups. Buyers who prioritise a lighter chassis or longer unplugged runtime should evaluate thinner alternatives.

64GB DDR5 memory soldered configuration

The laptop ships with 64GB of DDR5 memory in a fixed configuration that cannot be expanded later. Buyers who anticipate a need for more than 64GB must choose a different platform. The 1TB PCIe SSD remains the only user-accessible storage slot for future capacity changes.
