ASUS ROG Strix G18 18" i9-14900HX RTX 5070 64GB 2TB gaming laptop

18-inch 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 64GB DDR5 RAM and a 2TB PCIe SSD. The 1920 x 1200 display runs at 144Hz. Windows 11 Home is pre-installed.

Check Thunderbolt 4 and HDMI 2.1 FRL port needs

Verify that your external monitors support the HDMI 2.1 FRL connection for full resolution and refresh rate. Confirm your peripherals can use the three USB-A 3.2 ports, the USB-C 3.2 port or the Thunderbolt 4 port. Ensure your network infrastructure can utilise the Wi-Fi 7 and RJ45 Ethernet connectivity. The chassis measures 15.71 x 11.73 x 1.26 inches and weighs 7.05 lbs.

Upgrade from 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD configurations

This unit replaces laptops limited to 16GB memory and 1TB storage by doubling RAM to 64GB and storage to 2TB. The jump is worth it when you run virtual machines, large texture packs or heavy multitasking workloads that exceed 16GB. The 24-core CPU and RTX 5070 also lift frame rates over prior 14-core or 8-core models in modern titles.
