18" WUXGA 144Hz Gaming Laptop
The ASUS ROG Strix G18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop built around a 24-core Intel Core i9-14900HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 GPU with 8GB GDDR7 memory. It ships with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD, driven by a 1920 x 1200 display at 144Hz. Windows 11 Pro is pre-installed.
Who this suits and who should look elsewhere
This machine suits users who need high core counts and a large screen for gaming or content creation. The 24-core CPU and RTX 5070 handle demanding workloads. Buyers who prioritise portability or battery life should consider smaller, lighter alternatives with lower-power components.
RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 graphics
The single specification that decides fit is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 8GB GDDR7 video memory. This determines the gaming performance ceiling and the creative application acceleration available. If your workload needs more VRAM or a higher GPU tier, this is not the right part.

Questions about this item

Will my older USB-A 3.0 mouse and keyboard work with the three USB-A 3.2 ports on this laptop?
Yes, the three USB-A 3.2 ports are backwards compatible with USB 3.0 and 2.0 peripherals, so your existing mouse and keyboard will function normally.
How can I confirm the RTX 5070 8GB GDDR7 is running at full performance after setup?
Open the NVIDIA Control Panel or GPU-Z and verify the GPU name shows GeForce RTX 5070 with 8 GB GDDR7 memory and the driver version matches the latest Game Ready release.
