Built for mobile workstations

This ASUS ROG Strix G18 pairs an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX 16-core processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 8GB GDDR7 GPU. The 18-inch FHD+ panel runs at 144Hz and shows 1920 x 1200 resolution. Windows 11 Pro and an Office 2024 license ship pre-installed. Buyers who need a smaller footprint or longer unplugged runtime should look elsewhere.

Office 2024 license and Wi-Fi 6E change daily

The included Office 2024 licence removes the need for a separate subscription purchase. Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3 adds triple-band wireless and lower latency for peripherals. Two USB 4.0 Type-C ports support DisplayPort, G-SYNC and power delivery. HDMI 2.1 FRL and a 10/100/1000 Mbps LAN port handle wired displays and networks. No SD card reader is present.

Ready to use after a single driver check

The laptop arrives with the manufacturer seal opened for inspection and testing, so Windows is already configured. Install GPU and chipset drivers from the ASUS support page to enable full 144Hz operation and G-SYNC. The 32GB DDR5 and 1TB PCIe SSD are not user-upgradable without voiding the upgraded-component warranty. Keep the original charger for the USB 4.0 power-delivery port.

Questions about this item

Will the 32 GB DDR5 memory or 1 TB PCIe SSD need replacement later?

Both components are soldered or integrated; upgrades would require professional service and are not user-serviceable.

What thermal limit appears first during sustained loads on the Ryzen 9 8940HX and RTX 5050?

The CPU and GPU share a vapor-chamber cooling system; sustained loads hit the thermal throttle point before power limits are reached.

How loud and hot does the chassis get when running all day?

Fan noise stays in the low 40 dB range and the keyboard deck reaches the low 40 °C range under continuous load.
