ASUS ROG Strix G18 Ultra 9 16GB RAM 1TB SSD RTX 5070 18" Gaming Notebook

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

The ASUS ROG Strix G18 (G815LP) is an 18-inch Windows 11 Home gaming laptop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor with 24 cores and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU with 8GB of GDDR7 memory. It handles demanding games and graphics workloads on a 2.5K (2560 x 1600) IPS-level display that runs at up to 300Hz in Ultimate GPU mode, with a 3ms response time and G-Sync support. The panel covers 100% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut and is Pantone Validated, so the same screen is equally suited to photo and video editing. A MUX Switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus manages switching between the integrated Intel UHD Graphics and the RTX 5070. Memory and storage are expandable: the 16GB of DDR5 sits in two SO-DIMM slots supporting up to 64GB, and the chassis provides two M.2 PCIe slots in total, including the one used by the 1TB SSD. It is well suited to competitive and single-player gaming, and to creative work at a desk.
