18-inch 2.5K 240Hz gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 2.5K 240Hz display and a 24-core Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor. It ships with 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 2TB PCIe SSD. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed.

Buyers who need 8GB GPU memory and Thunderbolt 4

This configuration suits users who want high refresh-rate gaming on a large screen and need Thunderbolt 4 plus HDMI 2.1 for external displays. The 8GB GeForce RTX 5060 limits 4K texture workloads, so buyers targeting higher VRAM should look at other models.

8GB GeForce RTX 5060 with DDR7 video memory

The single specification that decides fit is the graphics card: an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU with 8GB of DDR7 video memory. That VRAM capacity determines whether the laptop handles your target resolutions and texture settings.

Questions about this item

What are the chassis dimensions and weight so I can confirm it fits my bag or desk?

The laptop measures 15.71 x 11.73 x 1.26 inches and weighs 7.05 lbs.

How is the DDR4 memory installed, and what step do people often miss?

The 16GB DDR4 is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be upgraded; the only install step is confirming the factory configuration matches the 16GB spec.

What SSD replacement will be needed later and what form factor does it use?

The 2TB PCIe SSD is the only internal drive; future replacement requires another PCIe SSD of the same physical length.
