What's new

Improvements over its predecessor.

Hold nothing back with the most powerful mobile gaming processor from Intel. The Strix G18 engineering enables up to 65W TDP for Intel Core i9-13900HX and up to 175W TGP for the Nvidia Geforce RTX 4080.

The new ROG Strix G18 comes with a top-mounted 720p webcam that allows you to join video chat or streaming.

ROG Strix G18 packs the high-end display technology from ROG flagship laptops. The 18-inch 16:10 QHD+ display models come with 100% DCI-P3, Dolby Vision HDR, G-Sync / Adaptive Sync, and more.

Tri-fan technology
Full-surround vents
Standard per-key RGB lighting
Aura Sync Light Bar

What's missing

Downsides over its predecessor.

In my experience, having power, USB, and video-out ports at the back of the laptop helps reduce cable clutters when connecting to multiple displays and peripherals, especially for desktop replacement machines like the 18-inch ROG Strix G18.

It's okay if you plan to use the laptop primarily for gaming.
