Featuring up to an AMD Ryzen™ 9 8940HX processor and up to NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5060 Laptop GPU, complex projects on popular development tools like Unity and Autodesk run like a dream. You have what it takes to be the best on the battlefield, but are you ready to design the next one?
Groundbreaking cooling
To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix G18’s chassis and motherboard were both designed to accommodate our new full-width heatsink, whose fins were moved even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. The full-width heatsink is built from three different sections, surrounding the motherboard with densely packed fins for a total surface area of 187,156mm². This design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall airflow.
Finally, most gaming laptops have a dual fan cooling system, but the G18 was able to push the performance envelope even further with the introduction of a third fan that helps keep the GPU and VRAM cool. Paired with seven high-efficiency heatpipes, the G18’s cooling system is a marvel of engineering.
Designed to Win.
Built for Victory.
The Republic of Gamers was built by those who love to play video games. All ROG machines are designed with gamers in mind, from the chassis to lighting integration, software controls, and macro functions. These ROG exclusive features not only give you a competitive advantage, but they also make sure you never blend in with the crowd.
KEYBOARD
Press the Attack
The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke, so the Strix G18 has a full-size keyboard designed to secure the win. Overstroke technology offers sublime work and play, reducing key actuation and improving responsiveness. Built with gamers in mind, the keyboard features spaced function keys for intuitive identification and dedicated hotkeys for quick access to essential commands. Large arrow keys allow for more accurate control in the heat of battle. A larger touchpad means easier tracking across all of your applications, while per-key RGB lighting lets you choose from millions of colors on every key for endless customization. You can also create game-specific layouts via Armoury Crate, making every game feel unique.
ID DESIGN
COLORIZE YOUR LIFE
Not every gamer is the same, so the Strix G18 comes in two colors to better reflect your sensibilities. For a more stealth look, the classic Eclipse Gray keeps the true power of your machine under wraps. For those who enjoy making a statement, Volt Green is a bold choice that stands out from the crowd.
Subtle detailing
The Strix G18’s pixel art accents give the chassis more flavor and flair, while still being easily identifiable as an ROG machine from across the room.
Bold accents
For added visual interest, the Strix G18 also features a paint speckling pattern above the rear exhaust ports. Inspired by graffiti art and the cyberpunk aesthetic, even casual passers-by will notice that the Strix G18 has more attitude than other gaming machines.
Stun at every angle
Thoughtful details set this laptop apart from the competition. Our 360° design philosophy puts subtle but distinctive elements across every part of the machine. The dot matrix pattern splashed across the lid cuts down to meet cross-hatched vents beneath the base. An expansive rubberized grip holds the laptop firmly in place and makes it easier to carry. Typographic elements around the trim subtly show off your ROG pride.
Studio-quality Sound
Dual Dolby Atmos-powered speakers create an authentic sound stage for your games. Hi-Res audio ensures you hear your music in the same quality it was recorded. Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation processes both incoming and outgoing audio to filter any errant background noises, making sure that your calls, chats, and streams come through without distraction.
All-day endurance
The Strix G18 is ready to go the distance. Featuring a 90Wh battery, the laptop can easily browse the web for hours away from the wall before needing a recharge. For flexibility on the go, USB Type-C charging is supported up to 100W. When charging using the supplied 280W power adapter, the G18 can recharge from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes.
Stay Connected
In modern multiplayer games, a stable internet connection is imperative. The Strix G18 is ready to join the fight with a dedicated RJ45 port, as well as the Wi-Fi 6E wireless standard. On Wi-Fi 6E-supported networks, enjoy access to an extra wireless band, free from clutter and interference from your home’s other wireless devices, ensuring you never lag out again.
Stay Connected
When you need to plug into the big screen, the dedicated GPU powers an HDMI 2.1 port for the latest TVs and monitors, increasing total bandwidth from 18 to 48Gbps, and supporting up to 4K 120Hz and 8K 60Hz content. Two USB4 Type-C ports allow for plenty of connectivity, for DisplayPort and one for power delivery.
