Victory, accelerated.
The Strix G18 features Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 290HX Plus boasting up to 80W TDP with 24 cores and 24 threads, paired with NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU with a max TGP of 175W, ensuring flawless AAA gaming experiences while making resource-intensive tasks like programming and rendering effortless and seamless.
The need for speed
Game with confidence thanks to Windows 11 and an Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 processor 290HX Plus. Backed up by the serious gaming muscle of an NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080 Laptop GPU and 32GB of DDR5 RAM, the 2026 Strix G18 has the perfect amount of power to keep you gaming at peak performance. With additional features like NVIDIA Max-Q technologies, including Advanced Optimus, NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, the Strix G18 is truly a force to be reckoned with.
ROG Intelligent Cooling
We’ve completely revamped the cooling solution of the 2026 Strix G18 to ensure that you get the best gaming experience with your machine, every time. We’ve relocated all of the exhaust vents to the rear of the hinge, keeping warm air away from your mousing hand. The sides and bottom of the machine act as an air intake, creating a natural, efficient path for airflow. Air also flows through the keyboard deck, keeping your hands cooler during intense gaming sessions. When pairing an end-to-end vapor chamber with a sandwiched heatsink, Tri-Fan Technology, and Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal on both CPU & GPU, the 2026 Strix G18 achieve a lower noise level in Turbo Mode compared to the previous generation, while still offering the same calculated excellence you expect from a Strix machine.
ROG Nebula HDR Display
You can’t beat the enemy if you don’t see them coming. The Strix G18 steps up to a 2.5K Mini LED Nebula HDR Display with over 2,000 dimming zones, delivering deeper contrast and more vivid visuals.
Both models feature a 16:10 panel, 100% DCI-P3 coverage, and AGLR (anti-glare and low reflection) technology, reducing reflections and enhances contrast by 4.5X for incredibly vivid colours.
Win with Flair
A refinement of the established Strix design language, the 2026 Strix lineup is engineered for powerful performance, maximum speed, and calculated movement, with a silhouette inspired by race cars that embody these same principles.
Pit Stop Like Upgradability
The 2026 Strix G18 puts upgradeability first, with easy access to memory and storage expansion. This tool-less design allows for simple access to both the RAM, SSD, and fans, and we’ve also brought our Q-latch system here for those SSD slots. Like an experienced pit crew, you can remove and replace your SSD and RAM in seconds, having the machine back up and running without missing a lap. A specially designed frame covers the rest of the mainboard to protect the other components, but can easily be removed with a few screws for users who want to tinker further.
Press the Attack
The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke, so the Strix G18 have 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 colours on every key for endless customisation. 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 Connectivity
We equipped the Strix G18 with a large 90Wh battery, which provides plenty of endurance for video playback and web browsing. If you’re traveling without the included power supply, it also supports USB Type-C power delivery up to 100W, allowing you easily top up a charge while on the go.
Connectivity is everything in a high-performance machine, so we’ve spared no expense with the Strix G18’s feature set. With support for the latest Wi-Fi 7 standard, offering download speeds up to 2.4X times faster than Wi-Fi 6, onboard 2.5G ethernet, and dual Thunderbolt™ 5 ports, this machine puts even many desktop battlestations to shame. We’ve also included a FHD camera with Windows Hello support, allowing you to unlock the machine possible with just a smile. Windows Hello also provides better cybersecurity thanks to facial recognition. Only your face grants access, keeping your data safe and secure.
Stay Connected
Ports allow you to connect your mouse, headset, or even an external monitor, so we gave the Strix G18 an incredibly flexible I/O that can adapt to any situation. On the right side you’ll find two USB-A ports, but the left side offers the bulk of the connections, with an audio jack, dual Thunderbolt™ 5 ports (USB Type-C), a single USB-A, HDMI 2.1, a 2.5G ethernet port, and the power port. If you can imagine your ideal battlestation, the Strix G18 can make it a reality.
