Your Ultimate Pit Stop
We've completely redesigned the 2025 Strix G18 to make upgrades easier than ever. This tool-less design allows for simple access to both the RAM, SSD, and fans,
and we've also brought our latest 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.
Storage Upgrade
Take on even the largest projects with confidence thanks to ultra-fast PCIe Gen 4 storage. Both SSD slots feature our incredibly simple and tool-less Q-latch system,
no standoffs or tiny screws required. For those looking to leverage even faster storage speeds, both SSD slots are PCIe Gen 5 ready
RAM Upgradibility
The Strix G18 is upgradable to 32GB of DDR5 6400MHz RAM, offering incredible gaming and multitasking performance. Whether you bought a machine straight from
the factory or upgraded the RAM yourself, the G18 is a gaming and content creation powerhouse. Go ahead - keep all those tabs open.
Limitless Connectivity
We've also equipped the Strix G18 with dual Thunderbolt 5 ports, which offers the latest in high bandwidth connectivity, up to 3X compared to Thunderbolt 4. With a diverse
ecosystem of devices and peripherals compatible over USB-C, including support for power delivery, high-resolution display output, and support for the latest docking stations,
Thunderbolt 5 is the easiest way to turn your G18 into a true battlestation.

Q-Latch System
M.2 SSDs are incredibly small and versatile, but the traditional mounting system involves tiny standoffs and screws that can be difficult to manipulate. ROG solved this problem with
Q-Latch, a system that first debuted on our award-winning desktop motherboards. Q-Latch uses a simple, tool-less plastic hinge to securely retain your M.2 SSDs, no screwdriver required.
ROG INTELLIGENT COOLING
We've completely revamped the cooling solution of the 2025 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 2025 Strix G18 achieves 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.

End-To-End Vapor Chamber
We've used vapor chambers in our high-end ROG machines before, but the component inside the heart of the 2025 Strix G18 is truly special. We've designed a vapor chamber with different layers
to more accurately match the layout of the motherboard, for maximum contact on the CPU and GPU. We also pushed the vapor chamber all the way to the rear of the chassis, sandwiching it between
the upper and lower heatsinks to further optimize heat dissipation.
Sandwiched Heatsink
Our cutting-edge Tri-Fan Technology directs air though precisely calculated cutouts in the chassis, sending airflow directly towards internal components to keep them cool in all conditions. A third
auxiliary fan sends additional heat from the GPU and VRAM directly to the heatsinks, keeping the machine cool during long video renders or gaming sessions.
Tri-Fan Technology
The Strix G18 features Thermal Grizzly's cutting-edge Conductonaut Extreme, which improves upon the already incredible heat transfer found in standard liquid metals. Compared to traditional
thermal pastes, this indium- and gallium-based compound offers 17X higher conductivity, in addition to CPU and GPU temperature reductions of up to 15 degrees. Used exclusively by ROG, this
material offers the highest thermal transfer available on a laptop.
Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal
The new rear facing exhaust, redesigned vapor chamber, and 2nd Gen Arc Flow Fans allowed us to bring the operating volume in Turbo Mode down from last generation.
Ambient Cooling
The Strix G18's heatsink features ultra-thin 0.1mm copper fins, providing the perfect balance between airflow and density to keep heat dissipation optimal.
0.1mm Ultra-Thin Fins
The Strix G18's heatsink features ultra-thin 0.1mm copper fins, providing the perfect balance between airflow and density to keep heat dissipation optimal.
CoolZone Keyboard
Extended gaming sessions can heat up internal components and make the keyboard warm to the touch. The Strix G18 boasts the largest airflow cutouts we've ever added to a laptop, which allows
the fans to draw in fresh air from above and through the keyboard deck. This keeps your fingers cool during marathon gaming sessions, while also improving overall system airflow.
Dust Filter
The ROG Strix G18 features a dust filter on its intake vents. Dust and fibers can collect inside the machine, trapping heat and causing degraded performance over time. A filter helps keep dust out,
allowing the CPU and GPU to breathe easier for years of smooth and stable operation.
Scenario Profile
Our Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes are just the beginning. Scenario Profiles allow your system to automatically switch between these modes based on the application you're running, alongside
other vital system settings. Switch between lighting configurations automatically, disable the Windows key and touchpad during games, and automate to your heart's content. Armoury Crate makes
adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand.
ROG NEBULA DISPLAY
You can't beat the enemy if you don't see them coming. The Strix G18 boasts an ultra-fast 2.5K 240Hz Nebula display with a 3ms response time, ensuring you'll always get the jump on your opponent.
A 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness and 100% DCI-P3 coverage, the Strix G18 has incredible color accuracy with pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights. We've also added a
brand new ACR (Ambient Contrast Ratio) film, with two layers that cut down on glare to increase contrast for more vibrant visuals, as well as improving off-angle viewing for when you might have
a spectator.
ARC Technology
This year, we even added two layers of Ambient Contrast Ratio (ACR) film to the display, which reduces reflections and enhances contrast, ensuring the image stays punchy, vivid, and accurate even when
viewed at an angle or in bright rooms. This machine doesn't just perform at a high level - it draws you into the visuals, with colors so realistic it's as if you were right in the middle of the action.
Dolby Vision Technology
Scene to scene, frame to frame, Dolby Vision makes media look better. The technology improves on standard 4K high dynamic range (HDR) video, dynamically adjusting visuals to make every image in
front of you richer, brighter, and livelier. Creators can film and edit their streams, videos, and other content in a format commonly used by industry professionals.
Pantone Color Validation
Each IPS-level display is factory-calibrated to ensure that colors are accurate to the Pantone palette. Artists, designers, and content creators can add high-quality content to their portfolios and enjoy
richer gaming visuals all on the same machine.
100% DCI-P3 Color Coverage
While the sRGB color space is the standard for most digital visuals, it only represents about 75% of the DCI-P3 spectrum used for professional filmmaking. Displays with complete DCI-P3 coverage offer
a wide color gamut for more vibrant images, letting you see films and other media exactly the way they were meant to be experienced.
NVIDIA G-SYNC
Nothing breaks in-game immersion like stuttering and tearing. GPUs render frames at variable rates, but displays usually refresh at a constant clip, so they can get out of sync, causing visible hitching and
artifacts that pull you out of the action. With Adaptive Sync, the refresh rate of the display synchronizes with the GPU's frame rate to eliminate visual tearing, minimize stuttering, and reduce input lag. Get
ready to experience gameplay that looks and feels more natural than ever.
TÜV Rheinland Certification
Displays emit light across a broad spectrum that unfortunately includes some less desirable wavelengths. Our Nebula Display protects your eyes by reducing blue light before it leaves the screen, preventing
eyestrain during long gaming or content creation sessions.
Refined design
The 2025 Strix lineup has been redesigned from the ground up, built for powerful performance, maximum speed, and calculated movement, with a shape inspired by race cars that personify these same
concepts. With rounded edges, a streamlined shape, and reduced seams, the 2025 ROG Strix G18 is sleeker than ever.
Full-surround Aura
The 2025 ROG Strix G18 features a full-surround RGB lightbar along the bottom of the chassis, giving you a distinct glow on your desk that syncs with your other ROG peripherals.
Seamless Design
Now featuring a smoother texture for an extra premium feel, the corners of the 2025 ROG Strix G18 have been chamfered to give it a more elegant and contemporary look. With rounded edges, a streamlined
shape, and reduced seams, the 2025 ROG Strix G18 is sleeker than ever.
Press the attack
The difference between victory and defeat can be separated by a single keystroke, so the Strix G18 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.
Large Touchpad
We know you aren't always gaming, so we've increased the size of the touchpad by 36% from the previous generation for effortless scrolling even when your mouse is tucked away. A larger touchpad also makes
multi-touch inputs easier, giving you a smoother experience with the machine even when you're just browsing the web.
Dedicated Hotkeys
Dedicated gaming hotkeys sit just above the left side of the keyboard for quick access to volume, mic mute, operating modes, and Armoury Crate. They are also fully customizable, and can be programmed to
launch apps, set as a function key, or used as a macro. The Strix G18 has all the tools you need for victory.
Overstroke Technology
Exclusive ROG Overstroke technology registers keypresses earlier in the stroke, enabling a more responsive experience for serious gaming and work. Triggering earlier means faster, effortless inputs with
greater accuracy.
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.
Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation
Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove
noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to
remain untouched.
Dual Speakers With Dolby Atmos
Richer audio draws you more deeply into gameplay and media. Virtual 5.1.2-channel surround sound powered by Dolby Atmos enhances spatial immersion with more nuanced, layered sound effects that you
can optimize with specially tuned preset modes for movies and games.
All Day Endurance
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.
All the bandwidth
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.

Incredible I/O
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.
Endless Customization
When you want to tweak settings, monitor temperatures, or tinker with your laptop, Armoury Crate is your command center. Real-time monitoring allows you to see what your GPU, CPU and memory are doing.
RGB can be adjusted on a game-by-game basis with Aura Sync. Fan and power profiles allow you to change the acoustics, power delivery, and thermal characteristics of the laptop on the fly. And exclusive game
deals keep your library topped off at all times.
Performance Modes
More than just simple fan curves, Armoury Crate's performance modes serve to transform your machine from a silent, power sipping web browser to a full gaming battlestation with maximum horsepower.
And for those that require even more granular control, Manual mode removes all limiters and lets you make a custom profile that suits your exact needs.
Macro Keys
Armoury Crate also supports full customization of the dedicated hotkeys. By default they act as volume control, microphone mute and a quick launch for Armoury Crate, but with a few adjustments you can
make them work for you. Create a function key for quick toggle when needed, a macro for complicated button combinations, or even a quick launch button for the application of your choice.
Make your machine uniquely yours.
Aura Creator
Customize the RGB lighting on Aura-compatible peripherals to suit your gaming style. Aura Creator's easy-to-use control panel allows you to alter a brilliant spectrum of lighting effects and colors, in addition
to swapping preset lighting modes, you can also activate Aura Sync to match colors and effects across multiple devices.
Aura Wallpaper
This brand-new feature in Armoury Crate 5.0 allows you to synchronize an animated desktop wallpaper with your laptop's RGB lighting. Choose between multiple ROG-themed wallpapers and RGB effects to
give your rig a completely unified look. Additional wallpapers can be downloaded directly from Armoury Crate, and the application can easily be controlled from the Windows system tray.
Scenario Profiles
Automatic switching between Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes is just the beginning for Scenario Profiles. You can also define application-specific preferences for other vital system settings, like the lighting
configuration and whether the Windows key or touchpad are enabled. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand, and you can configure each profile exactly how you want.
