Power up your play

Draw more frames and win more games with the brand-new Strix G18 and Windows 11 Pro. Powered by up to a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX Processor and up to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU boasting a max TGP of 175W with Dynamic Boost, be ready to dominate the competition in all of the latest games. Backed up with a dedicated MUX Switch and NVIDIA Advanced Optimus support, the Strix G18 unlocks the true potential of its hardware. With PCIe Gen4x4 SSD storage and up to 32GB of 4800MHz DDR5 RAM, large game libraries and intense multitasking sessions are a breeze for this gaming machine.

Do it all

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.

GPU Power Unleashed

Top-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™ 4090 Laptop GPU is fully unleashed with a max TGP of 175W with Dynamic Boost.

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 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.

Blazing Fast DDR5 Memory

Leveraging the brand new DDR5 standard, enjoy a huge generational performance jump to 4800MHz, with write times 50% faster than DDR4 equipped machines. This ultra-fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy, from intense gaming to light web browsing.

Better. Faster. Stronger.

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.

Game. Stream. Create.

The Strix G series is built from the ground up for gamers — and, of course, game developers. The Strix G18 can run all of the latest game engines, enabling you to unlock your creativity and try your hand at making the next great game. Whether you’re a digital artist, streamer, video editor, or dabble with animation and game development, the Strix G18 has all the horsepower you need to take your creations to the next level. Featuring up to an Intel® Core™ i9 processor and up to an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 40 Series Laptop GPU, complex projects on popular development tools like Unity and Autodesk render in a snap. You have what it takes to be the best on the battlefield, but are you ready to design the next one?

ROG INTELLIGENT COOLING 

To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix G18’s chassis and motherboard were both redesigned 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 195,509mm², a 92% increase from the 2022 Strix G17. 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 heatpipes and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both the CPU and GPU*, 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 designs and considerations come with gamers first, from the chassis design, lighting integration, software controls, and macro functions. These ROG exclusive design features not only give you a competitive advantage, but they 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.

Dedicated hotkeys

Dedicated gaming hotkeys sit just above the left side of the keyboard for quick access to the volume and mic mute controls, operating modes, and Armoury Crate. They are also fully customizable and can be programmed to launch apps, set as a function key, or used as a macro. The Strix G has all of the tools you need for victory.

Overstroke technology

Exclusive ROG Overstroke technology registers keypresses earlier in the stroke, enabling a more responsive experience for serious gaming and work. Triggering earlier means faster, effortless inputs with greater accuracy.

Large touch pad

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.

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 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.

Bold accents

For added visual interest, the Strix G18 also features a paint specking pattern above the rear exhaust ports. Inspired by graffiti art and the cyberpunk aesthetic, even casual passersby will notice that the Strix G18 has more attitude than other gaming machines.

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 330W power adapter, the G18 can recharge from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes.

Two-way Ai Noise Cancelation

Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched.
