Victory Accelerated
Game with the greatest, backed up by the power of an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor. With 8 Performance and 16 Efficient cores, this next-gen silicon can drive high framerates in esports and AAA games alike. The G18 also has access to AI acceleration in select content creation apps, giving you incredible flexibility on how you can utilise this machine. The 2025 Strix G18 offers the very best Windows 11 gaming experience, featuring an all-powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 16GB of VRAM and Advanced Optimus functionality. This killer hardware is complemented by 16GB of 5600MHz DDR5 RAM and 1TB of PCIe 4.0 storage. The memory slots are upgradable and can be equipped with blazing-fast 6400MHz DDR5 RAM, whilst the SSD slots both offer full support for PCIe Gen 5, ensuring that your games and apps load quickly and you always have instant access to all of your files.

A Dominant Force
High-performance gaming machines need high-performance processors, and up to Intel Core Ultra 9 processor 275HX absolutely delivers. With 24 cores and 24 threads, this gaming and multi-tasking beast can draw up to 75W when needed, ensuring that your games always stay buttery smooth.

Next-Gen Graphics
Strix G18 boasts an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, ensuring that you’ll get incredible framerates and visuals in all the latest games. With NVIDIA Max-Q technologies, including Advanced Optimus and Dynamic Boost, the GPU can intelligently switch between battery-saving and high-performance modes when you need it, making the Strix G18 a true next-gen gaming laptop.

NVIDIA Advanced Optimus
With NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX switch, bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance by 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience—all without needing touch a single button. This automatic switching also preserves your machine's battery life, as it can dynamically transition between the high-power discrete GPU and the lower power integrated GPU. No matter what you’re doing, your machine will switch to the most optimised mode without you having to lift a finger.

Game Changer

ROG Nebula Display
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix G18 boasts an ultra-fast 2.5K 240Hz Nebula display with a 3ms response time, ensuring you’ll always get the jump on your opponent. A 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, the Strix G18 has incredible color accuracy with pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights.

ACR Technology
This year, ASUS even added two layers of Ambient Contrast Ratio film to the display, which reduces reflections by 55% and provides up to 4.5x better contrast, ensuring the image stays punchy, vivid, and accurate. A second layer boosts viewing angle for a 180° ultra-clear view, providing an image that looks just as good off-center as it does straight on. This machine doesn't just perform at a high level – it draws you into the visuals, with colours so realistic it’s as if you were right in the middle of the action.

Your Ultimate Pit Stop
ASUS have completely redesigned the 2025 Strix G18 to make upgrades easier than ever. This tool-less design allows for simple access to both the RAM, SSD, and fans, whilst bringing their latest Q-latch system to the range for the SSD slots. Like an experienced pit crew, you can remove and replace your SSD and RAM in seconds, having the machine back up and running without missing a lap. A specially designed frame covers the rest of the mainboard to protect the other components, but can easily be removed with a few screws for users who want to tinker further.

Q-Latch System
M.2 SSDs are incredibly small and versatile, but the traditional mounting system involves tiny standoffs and screws that can be difficult to manipulate. ROG solved this problem with Q-Latch, a system that first debuted on ASUS' award-winning desktop motherboards. Q-Latch uses a simple, tool-less plastic hinge to securely retain your M.2 SSDs, no screwdriver required.

Limitless Connectivity
ASUS have equipped the Strix G18 with dual Thunderbolt 5 ports, which offers the latest in high bandwidth connectivity - up to 3 times more than Thunderbolt 4. With a diverse ecosystem of devices and peripherals comaptible over USB-C, including support for power delivery, high-resolution display output, and support for the latest docking stations - Thunderbolt 5 is the easiest way to turn your G18 into a true battlestation.

RAM Upgradability
The G18 comes with 32GB of DDR5 5600MHz RAM, with the ability to upgrade to either a maximum of 64GB or a maximium speed of 6400MHz; offering incredible gaming and multitasking performance. With two SODIMM slots easily accesible without tools, you can effortlessly upgrade your memory whenever you need more.

Storage Upgrade
Take on even the largest projects with confidence thanks to the ultra-fast PCIe Gen 4 storage. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s and a graphite sheet for efficient cooling, massive files and detailed game worlds will load in an instant. Both SSD slots feature the same, simple Q-Latch system with no standoffs or tiny screws required. For those looking to leverage even faster storage speeds, both SSD slots are PCIE Gen5 ready.
