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

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.
