18-inch FHD+ 144Hz Gaming Laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around an AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX 16-core processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. It ships with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 2TB PCIe SSD, running Windows 11 Pro. The 1920 x 1200 display refreshes at 144Hz for smooth motion in fast-paced titles.

Who this suits and who should look elsewhere

This machine suits gamers and creators who want a large, high-refresh screen and strong multi-core performance in a single portable chassis. The 16-core CPU and RTX 5050 handle modern games and content workloads. Buyers needing a smaller footprint, longer unplugged runtime, or a higher-resolution panel should consider other models.

Installation notes and common issues

As a complete laptop, it requires no internal assembly; simply power on and follow the Windows 11 Pro setup. The supplier opens the original seal for inspection and any configured upgrades, so the box will not be factory-sealed on arrival. Verify that the 32GB memory and 2TB storage match your order before first boot.
