ASUS – ROG Strix G18 18″ 2.5K 240Hz Gaming Laptop – Intel Core Ultra 9 HX – 32GB Memory – GeForce RTX 5080 – 2TB Storage – Eclipse Gray

Really good computer - Thus far I haven't had any issues with the computer.

Amazing Gaming Laptop with Excellent Performance - I'm really impressed with the ASUS ROG Strix G18. The performance is excellent, and it handles demanding games and multitasking smoothly. The RTX 5080 graphics card and Intel Core Ultra 9 processor provide plenty of power, while the 32GB of RAM makes switching between applications easy. One of my favorite features is the massive 18-inch display. The 2.5K resolution looks sharp, and the 240Hz refresh rate makes gameplay feel incredibly smooth. The 2TB of storage is also a huge plus since I can install plenty of games without constantly worrying about running out of space. The laptop has a solid, premium feel, and I really like the Eclipse Gray design. My only minor complaint is that it's fairly large and heavy, but that's understandable considering the screen size and powerful hardware. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this laptop. It's fast, powerful, and has everything I was looking for in a high-end gaming machine. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a powerful gaming laptop.

Workhorse of a laptop. - I purchased this as a semi desktop replacement. I'm a bigger guy so for some this might not be a portable option. The screen is good not as bright as OLED but there is very little backlight. It pretty much handles everything I throw at it. My only gripe is the mousepad, the clicking/haptic feel is off. It can be assembly issues however the temps I get at full load are very acceptable so I don't want to chance RMAing it and there hasn't been many units in BB store. I picked it up for roughly 2500 and in this day and age that seems reasonable for the specs.

Works and came perfectly packaged - Id buy again if i needed 2 , can handle obs twitch and gaming at once

Worth the price tag! - This has been an amazing laptop for gaming. The graphics are awesome and the color really pops. We had an old laptop before and the difference is crazy. Buy once, cry once. I got this for my husband to last!

Laptop - Screaming gameing machine runs mt CAD program great

EXCELLENT LAPTOP - The ASUS ROG Strix G18 with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 and Intel Core Ultra 9 processor is a jaw-dropping masterpiece that redefines what a gaming laptop can do. If you want the absolute pinnacle of portable gaming power, this machine is nothing short of awesome.

Game Changer — Literally - I’ve been building and gaming on Desktop PCs for a few years now. This thing plays Warzone just as smooth if not smoother than anything I’ve played on. Doesn’t get too hot over a couple hours in game. Applications load pretty effortlessly. Excited to see how far I can take this (both performance wise and geographically). ASUS products never disappoint. If you’ve been thinking about getting a gaming laptop just stop thinking about it and get this one. 10/10 for me. Highly recommended. I’m also not one for the RBG factor but this laptop has some seriously cool underglow that gives Need For Speed II vibes. Which is absolutely fitting considering the lightning fast speed it operates at. Again, don’t look anywhere else. BUY. THIS. NOW.

Beast - Runs Roblox on max settings flawlessly! Looks amazing.

ASUS-ROG Strix G18 - This is one of the smoothest computers I’ve had i definitely would recommend this product

great laptop - It's an excellent computer and physically beautiful. Happy with the purchase.

Good product - I ordered it online and picked it up in the store. The process was quick, and the quality was even better than I expected.

The graphics are crazy and power awesome - Could not ask for a better upgrade, the graphics and gameplay blow my mind and have all the memory I could need.

Runs anything I throw at it - The only complaint I really have about the laptop is that at this price point, the screen should have an OLED panel, though it’s still very nice. Beyond that, this laptop is fantastic. I’m maxing out the graphics for most of my games. Runs Cyberpunk with ray tracing all the way up (DLSS and frame-gen on) at 80-90 fps. It’s equipped with 32 GB of ram and a 2 TB ssd. The laptops also easily upgradable with an additional m.2 slot and ram slots for expansion. All you have to do is push a tab and you can open up the bottom of the laptop to upgrade or clean it. It’s also silent when doing productivity tasks however it’s very loud when gaming. All in all, I love this device. I just wish the screen was an OLED.

Performance - Absolutely love this laptop. The performance is incredible and it handles every game I’ve thrown at it with ease. The RTX 5080 is extremely powerful, the 240Hz 2.5K display looks sharp and smooth, and everything feels fast with the 32GB of RAM. The build quality is excellent and the cooling does a great job for this level of performance. The 2TB of storage is also a huge plus. Easily one of the best gaming laptops I’ve owned and I would definitely recommend it.

good I’m very happy with this laptop - I’m very happy with this laptop so far. The performance is excellent, the 18-inch 2.5K 240Hz display looks amazing, and games run very smoothly. The RTX 5080 and 32GB of memory handle demanding games and multitasking with ease. I also like the build quality, keyboard, and overall design. It is a powerful gaming laptop and has been a great experience so far. very good

Problems after Three Months - I've owned this laptop for a little over three months. I use it a lot, for a variety of games with a variety of intensity. Lately, it started giving me the blue screen of death with an IRQL error when running more intense games. Alright, I attempt to triage it: disable some things, run scans and diagnostics, no idea. Now, it gives me a blue screen even just watching videos, and appears to have a hot glue like smell. I have the best buy repair program and whatever, just frustrating that I even have to address it - and other reviews indicate best buy will tinker with it and send it back with the same issues, so I'm looking at not having a laptop for significant spans of time with no actual repairs, potentially, which is devastating for the high cost attached to this device. Beautiful when it worked, but only working for 90 days prices this laptop around $1000 a month.

Best performance in a gaming laptop I’ve ever - This laptop hands-down runs perfectly out the box. The quality of the laptop is immediately noticed as soon as you take it out of the box and the cooling system on this is fantastic. Yes, it gets hot, but not overly hot like some other gaming laptops like alien wear

Miniature desktop - Truck driver here. Who likes to play PC. Got this laptop for just that. It does quite well at it if you do not mind a downgraded version of a desktop build though much safer to use in a truck than a normal desktop build. At first I was using another monitor as a sole screen. A 4k monitor. It runs very well though had some hiccups with it accepting to just display the television screen. Though not sure what caused the conflict it works great now and have not had any problems like it before. I know use the laptop along side as like a duel monitor setup. Running a 2k monitor (laptop) and the 4k screen (tv) The laptop sitting where it does. Seems to get quite hot. I wish I had other comparisons on if it's too hot. More so the top right side where the power button be. I also have some concerns of the dongles. USB mini A I believe is the power supply connection as well as the other ports around. I fear that they may eventually bend or break especially with a cat. If he ever steps on them or if something comes down ( truck life issues) I do infact like that the everything is on the side of the laptop. The issue be (quite obvious) you can't place it up against a wall due to ventilation. If there was a laptop that blew hot air in front (quite a niche want) I could then place it in a wedge corner. Tldr Laptops are great truck computers It gets a little too hot I feel 2k is all you need for a laptop (prove me wrong) Works great as duel monitor. Sturdy enough power supplies and dongle Metal casing?
