You have what it takes to be the best on the battlefield; but are you ready to design the next one?
Groundbreaking cooling
To accommodate such powerful components; the Strix G18's chassis and motherboard were both designed to accommodate our new full-width heatsink; whose fins were moved even closer to the exhaust vents for more efficient cooling. The full-width heatsink is built from three different sections; surrounding the motherboard with densely-packed fins for a total surface area of 187;156mm. This design maximizes the available pathing for hot air to escape the machine and drastically increases overall airflow.
Finally; most gaming laptops have a dual fan cooling system; but the G18 was able to push the performance envelope even further with the introduction of a third fan that helps keep the GPU and VRAM cool. Paired with seven high-efficiency heatpipes; the G18's cooling system is a marvel of engineering.
Display
See clearly: You can't beat the enemy if you don't see them coming. The Strix G18 has ultra-fast panel options for every scenario; making sure you'll never miss a moment. One of the offerings is our gorgeous ROG Nebula display. A QHD 16:10 panel with 500 nits of brightness; 100% DCI-P3 coverage and 3ms response times; this panel has pixel-perfect precision even in the most frenetic firefights. Exclusive for the 240Hz screen; we added an ACR layer to reduce reflections and enhance contrast. The Strix G18 is also available with a Full HD 144Hz panel. Each option offers fantastic color; Dolby Vision; Adaptive-Sync support; and an 89% screen-to-body ratio for a stellar gaming and viewing experience.
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 NVIDIA G-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: Nebula Displays are TÜV Rheinland Certified; ensuring they are low blue light compliant and flicker-free; preventing eyestrain during long gaming or content creation sessions.
ACR Technology: This year; we even added two layers of Ambient Contrast Ratio film to the display; which reduces reflections by 55% and provides up to 4.5x better contrast; ensuring the image stays punchy; vivid; and accurate. A second layer boosts viewing angles for a 180 degree ultra-clear view; providing an image that looks just as good off-center as it does straight on. 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.
Designed to Win. Built for Victory: The Republic of Gamers was built by those who love to play video games. All ROG machines are designed with gamers in mind; from the chassis; lighting integration; software controls; and macro functions. These ROG exclusive features not only give you a competitive advantage; but they make sure you never blend in with the crowd.

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.
Control
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.
Dedicated hotkeys: Dedicated gaming hotkeys sit just above the left side of the keyboard for quick access to the volume and mic mute controls; 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.

For a more stealth look; the classic Eclipse Gray keeps the true power of your machine under wraps. For those who enjoy making a statement; Volt Green is a bold choice that stands out from the crowd.
Subtle detailing: The Strix G18's pixel art accents give the chassis more flavor and flair; while still being easily identifiable as an ROG machine from across the room.
Bold accents: For added visual interest; the Strix G18 also features a paint specking pattern above the rear exhaust ports. Inspired by graffiti art and the cyberpunk aesthetic; even casual passers-by will notice that the Strix G18 has more attitude than other gaming machines.
Stun at every angle: Thoughtful details set this laptop apart from the competition. Our 360 degree design philosophy puts subtle but distinctive elements across every part of the machine. The dot matrix pattern splashed across the lid cuts down to meet cross-hatched vents beneath the base. An expansive rubberized grip holds the laptop firmly in place and makes it easier to carry. Typographic elements around the trim subtly show off your ROG pride.
Audio
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.
