18-inch 240 Hz WQXGA gaming laptop
The ASUS ROG Strix G18 pairs an 18.0 inch 2560x1600 display with a 240 Hz refresh rate for fast-paced play. An AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor reaches 5.3 GHz turbo across 16 cores and 32 threads. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics with 8GB GDDR7 memory handle modern titles. The system ships with Windows 11 Pro installed.
Sustained load on Ryzen 9 and RTX 5070
A 280 W power supply feeds the CPU and dedicated GPU during extended sessions. The 4-cell 90 WHr battery supports mobile use away from mains power. DDR5 SO-DIMM memory runs at 16 GB capacity for multitasking headroom. Thermal design targets consistent clocks rather than short bursts.
PCIe NVMe storage and WiFi 6E connectivity
The 2 TB PCIe NVMe SSD provides rapid game loads and large library space. WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 handle wireless peripherals and low-latency streaming. HDMI output drives an external monitor at high resolution. A combo audio jack covers headset needs.

Questions about this item
How loud or hot does the 280W power supply let the Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5070 run during all-day sessions?
The laptop ships with a 280W adapter and a 90 WHr battery; under sustained load the CPU can reach 5.3 GHz and the RTX 5070 uses 8GB GDDR7, so fan speed and surface temperature will rise accordingly.
What must I already own to start using the 18" 240Hz WQXGA display and RGB keyboard?
Nothing extra is required — the 2560x1600 240Hz panel, 16GB DDR5 SO-DIMM, 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD and Windows 11 Pro are all installed and ready to use out of the box.
Will my older USB-A peripherals and Ethernet cable work with the ports on this model?
The chassis provides an RJ-45 jack and standard USB-A sockets alongside HDMI and a headphone/microphone combo jack, so legacy mice, keyboards and wired networks connect directly.
