Introducing the ROG Strix G18
Raise your game. Carry your squad.
Reach new heights of Windows 11 Gaming performance with the Strix G18, featuring 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX Processor and an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 4070 Laptop GPU and a dedicated MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus. Sporting all new 16- and 18-inch Nebula displays and full-surround vents with Tri-Fan Technology, the 2023 ROG Strix G18 are here to change the way you game.
Power up your play
Draw more frames and win more games with the brand new Strix G and Windows 11 Home. Powered by a 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-13980HX Processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop GPU 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, the Strix G unlocks the true potential of its hardware. With 1TB PCIe Gen4x4 SSD storage and 32GB of 4800MHz DDR5 RAM, large game libraries and intense multitasking sessions are a breeze for this gaming machine.
ROG Intelligent Cooling
To accommodate such powerful components, the Strix G’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 174,183-195,509mm², up to 92% increase from the 2022 Strix G series. 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 Strix G 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 Strix G’s cooling system is a marvel of engineering.
*Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal is applied to the GPU on models with an RTX™ 4080 GPU only
ROG Nebula Display
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix G has ultra-fast panel options for every scenario, making sure you’ll never miss a moment. For the first time ever, this 18-inch machine offer QHD+ 240Hz Nebula displays. A 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness, 100% DCI-P3 coverage and 3ms response times, the Strix G has pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights. The Strix G is also available with a Full HD 165Hz panel, with each option offering fantastic color, Dolby Vision, G-Sync support, and an 89% screen-to-body ratio for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.
Designed to win. Built for victory.
The Republic of Gamers was built by those who love to play video games. All ROG designs come with gamers in mind, from the chassis, 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.
Press the Attack
The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke, so the Strix G 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.
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 G 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 Strix G can recharge from zero to 50% in just 30 minutes.
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 USB Type-C ports allow for plenty of connectivity—one for DisplayPort and power delivery, and a second with Thunderbolt 4 support.
