18-inch WQXGA gaming laptop

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 16-core AMD Ryzen 9 8940HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card with 8GB GDDR7 memory.

Dual USB4 ports and 240Hz display

The chassis measures 15.71 by 11.57 by .91 inches and weighs 6.61 lbs in black finish. A 240Hz WQXGA panel running at 2560 by 1600 resolution delivers smooth motion for competitive play. Connectivity includes two USB4 Type-C ports each capable of 40Gbps data with DisplayPort and G-SYNC support, one HDMI 2.1 FRL output, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, a 3.5mm combo audio jack, and an RJ45 LAN port. Wireless uses Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

Verify power and peripheral needs

Confirm that your existing power adapters can meet the laptop’s charging requirements through the USB4 ports with power delivery support. Check that any external monitors you plan to use accept HDMI 2.1 or DisplayPort over USB4 at the desired resolution and refresh rate. Ensure your workspace can accommodate the 15.71-inch width and 11.57-inch depth for daily use.

Questions about this item

What external display bandwidth does the USB4 Type-C port cap at?

The USB4 Type-C port supports DisplayPort and G-SYNC with data speeds up to 40Gbps, so an external monitor is limited by that 40Gbps ceiling.

What are the chassis dimensions for checking bag or desk fit?

The laptop measures 15.71 x 11.57 x 0.91 inches and weighs 6.61 lbs, so verify your sleeve or backpack compartment against those figures.

How is the operating system activated after the factory seal is opened for upgrades?

Engineers open the original seal only to install the RAM or SSD upgrades; Windows 11 Home remains pre-installed and activates automatically on first boot.
