Product Information

If you’ve been hankering for a giant, 18-inch gaming laptop, you suddenly have a lot of options — and believe it or not, they’re all pretty good. The Strix G18’s pixel art accents have been redesigned for 2023, giving the chassis more flavor and flair, while still being easily identifiable as an ROG machine from across the room.

Improve everyday comfort and usability with a 10% larger touchpad than the previous generation. More space means greater precision along with more comfortable hand movements and gestures while you’re navigating, and a glass coating keeps all of your hand motions silky smooth. Like most high-end gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Strix G18 again proves that a portable gaming rig doesn’t mean it’s one you can use for long without a power plug in sight. Here, on the PCMark 10 gaming test, the ROG Strix G18 only lasted for 1:20 on a full charge before shutting down. Sebagian besar laptop gaming memiliki sistem pendinginan dengan dua kipas, namun G18 mampu mendorong performa yang mendukung penciptaan kipas ketiga yang menjaga GPU dan VRAM tetap dingin. Digabungkan dengan tujuh heatpipes dan liquid metal Conductonaut Extreme pada CPU dan GPU*, sistem pendingin G18 adalah sebuah mahakarya dari insinyur dan teknologi. *Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal hanya ada di model dengan GPU RTX™ 4080 Take on even the largest projects with confidence thanks to a PCIE Gen4 SSD configured in RAID 0. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s, massive files and detailed game worlds will load in the blink of an eye.De obicei, majoritatea laptopurilor de gaming au un sistem de racire cu doua ventilatoare, dar G18 a reusit sa impinga si mai mult nivelul de performanta odata cu introducerea unui al treilea ventilator care ajuta la mentinerea GPU-ului si VRAM-ului rece. Impreuna cu sapte conducte de caldura si metalul lichid Conductonaut Extreme aplicat atat pe CPU, cat si pe GPU*, sistemul de racire al lui G18 este o minune a ingineriei. *Metalul lichid Conductonaut Extreme este aplicat pe GPU numai pe modelele cu placa grafica GPU RTX™ 4080 For most people, the webcam is probably fine for the occasional Zoom call — but if you’re planning to use this gaming laptop often for professional video calls or you’re looking for a solid camera for Twitch streams and the like, you’ll want to invest in an external camera. Asus ROG Strix G18 review: Battery life and heat

The Strix 18 is the first laptop featuring Nvidia’s new RTX 40 Series GPUs that I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing and what a place to start! The RTX 4090 is the most high-end mobile GPU Nvidia currently has available. This video card is built with ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace Architecture and includes new cores and AI technologies that combined, deliver higher base and top-line performance than Nvidia RTX 30 Series cards. Per ospitare componenti così potenti, il telaio e la scheda madre della Strix G18 sono stati entrambi riprogettati per accogliere il nostro nuovo dissipatore a tutta larghezza, le cui alette sono state spostate ancora più vicino alle bocchette di scarico per un raffreddamento più efficiente. Il dissipatore a tutta larghezza è composto da tre sezioni diverse, che circondano la scheda madre con alette fittamente impacchettate per una superficie totale di 195.509 mm², un aumento del 92% rispetto alla Strix G17 del 2022. Questo design massimizza il percorso disponibile per l'uscita dell'aria calda dalla macchina e aumenta drasticamente il flusso d'aria complessivo. Power through any game or project with an Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX processor, featuring up to a 65W TDP and a hybrid architecture built from the ground up for Windows 11. With up to 8 Performance cores and 16 Efficiency cores, AAA gaming is flawless and streaming is effortless. Again, that’s pretty good, but it doesn’t come close enough to match the claim. Even so, it’s vastly brighter than the Alienware m18 (280.8 nits), but falls short of the Razer Blade 18 (495.2).

Studio-quality Sound

Pentru a gazdui astfel de componente puternice, sasiul si placa de baza ale lui Strix G18 au fost reproiectate pentru a gazdui noul nostru radiator in latime completa, ale carui lame au fost mutate si mai aproape de orificiile de evacuare pentru o racire mai eficienta. Radiatorul de latime completa este construit din trei sectiuni diferite, inconjurand placa de baza cu lame dens divizate, pe o suprafata totala de 195.509 mm², o crestere cu 92% fata de Strix G17 2022. Acest design maximizeaza calea disponibila pentru ca aerul cald sa iasa din interiorul laptopului si crescand drastic racirea generala. Display: 18-inch, QHD+ (2560 x 1600), 16:10 aspect ratio, IPS-level, 240 Hz refresh rate, DCI-P3 100 %, G-Sync, Advanced Optimus Untuk mengakomodasi komponen-komponen yang kuat, sasis dan motherboard Strix G18 telah didesain ulang untuk mengakomodasi heatsink super luas terbaru milik kami, yang mana bilah-bilah tembaganya telah dipindahkan menjadi bahkan lebih dekat lagi dengan ventilasi udara untuk pendinginan yang lebih efisien. Heatsink unik ini dibangun dari tiga bagian yang berbeda, mengelilingi motherboard dengan bilah-bilah yang rapat untuk total area 195,509mm², 92% lebih luas dibanding Strix G17 tahun 2022. Desain ini memaksimalkan jalan yang ada untuk udara panas keluar dari mesin dan secara drastic meningkatkan pendinginan secara menyeluruh.

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 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience—all without needing to 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 optimized mode without you having to lift a finger.

An 18-inch gaming laptop both massive and enticing, if not flawless

Anything above 95 degrees is considered potentially uncomfortable, and that beats the 125.1-degree peak measured on the Alienware m18. The Asus ROG Strix G18 stayed pretty cool during productivity tests, but make sure you have a desk or a table to sit this thing on while gaming — otherwise, it could get very sweaty and awkward in a hurry. Asus ROG Strix G18 review: Verdict Ports: 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (supports DisplayPort, power delivery), Thunderbolt 4 (USB-C), HDMI 2.1, 3.5 mm combo audio port 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 330W power adapter, the G18 can recharge from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes. Dominate the Windows 11 Pro battlefield with the all-new ROG Strix SCAR 18. Introducing a 18-inch screen to the SCAR lineup for the first time, see the enemy more clearly than ever before. Powered by a 13 th Gen Intel ® Core™ i9-13980HX processor and NVIDIA ® GeForce RTX™ 4090 Laptop GPU with a max TGP of 175W, the SCAR 18 easily handles even the most demanding games. It also comes with a dedicated MUX Switch with support for NVIDIA Advanced Optimus, enabling you to easily harness the true power of your GPU when gaming. With support for up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM and up to 4TB of PCIe Gen4x4 storage, the SCAR 18 can easily game, stream, and create content all at the same time without breaking a sweat. For the ultimate gaming laptop, look no further than the Strix SCAR 18. Finally, most gaming laptops have a dual fan cooling system, but the SCAR 18 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 heatpipes and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU, the SCAR 18’s cooling system is a marvel of engineering.

Given the beautiful screen and powerful performance, I expected — or at least hoped for — powerful speakers to amplify the entertainment barrage. But they’re just passable, really. The downward-firing speakers get plenty loud, but don’t deliver much bass bump and aren’t as lush or clear as desired. Plan on wearing a headset or hooking up external speakers if you’re keen on feeling the aural power of games and media. Asus ROG Strix G18 review: Keyboard and touchpadTop-tier components require power, especially when it comes to maximizing your GPU’s performance. Powered by NVIDIA DLSS 3, ultra-efficient Ada Lovelace arch, and Max-Q Technologies, the NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4080 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W with Dynamic Boost. Richer audio draws you more deeply into gameplay and media. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced, layered sound effects that you can optimize with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.
