Asus has brought various types of laptops to the market, among which gaming laptops are also included.
Usually, laptops with powerful processors are referred to as gaming laptops. Such a capable processor is present in Asus’ gaming laptop, the Asus Rog Strix G18.
This year, Asus has introduced this laptop with the latest processor from Intel, along with other attractive features. Today, we are discussing this laptop:
What is the ‘Asus Rog Strix G18’ laptop like?
This laptop is equipped with the latest 13th generation processor, which has 24 cores and 32 threads. This processor can be boosted up to 5.6 GHz.
The laptop features an Nvidia RTX 4070 8GB graphics card, one terabyte SSD, and 16GB DDR5 RAM. It comes with a large 18-inch display with a refresh rate of 165 Hz.
At first glance, this laptop provides a gaming experience. Apart from the keyboard, even the plastic body is branded as ‘rog,’ which stands for Republic of Games.
The bottom part of the laptop has full RGB lighting. RGB is also provided on the keyboard. This gives a different experience when placed on the table.
The laptop comes with five hotkeys, which can be customized according to one’s preference. Asus has provided the Armory app for this customization.
This app also offers other features. RGB customization can also be done through it. All the details about RAM, CPU, and graphics usage are available in this app. Everything can be monitored through this app.
The Tri-Fan Cooling technology in this laptop prevents the laptop’s performance from dropping after long usage. There are three fans for cooling in the laptop. Normally, laptops come with only two fans. In such a situation, when high-capacity games are played or software is run, the laptop heats up significantly. As much as the laptop’s CPU or GPU heats up, its performance decreases. Keeping this in mind, Asus has equipped this laptop with three fans, which also maintains ventilation well.
The type of screen on the laptop is also suitable for coding. Typing on the keyboard is easy.
Some people want more space. Adequate space has been provided to keep the hand while placing the touchpad. An automatic sensor is also provided in the back panel of the laptop, which turns off the laptop automatically if it is forgotten to be turned off. This saves us from current consumption or damage. Similarly, a 280-watt adapter can be found with the laptop for charging. The battery has a capacity of 90 watts. However, during gaming, the charger needs to be plugged in. This is a bit of a problem.
Performance
This laptop can achieve up to 160 FPS in high graphics settings while playing PUBG. When playing Apex Legends, it can reach up to 165 FPS. Similarly, in games like Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Metro Exodus, an average of 100 FPS can be achieved. This means that this laptop can provide a good gaming experience. However, it cannot be said to be excellent.
Since the performance is good, it is not necessary to only play games on the laptop. Above all, since it has an sRGB of 100%, color correction is good. Therefore, video editing can also be done through this laptop.
With this laptop, it takes about five minutes to export a video of four K. However, if exported from DaVinci Resolve, it takes only about a minute.
But when playing games or running high-capacity software, it is necessary to turn on Turbo mode. However, if this mode is turned on, the laptop produces loud noise. When working in this mode for a long time, some problems may arise.
Ports
Only ports are available on the right and left sides of the laptop. Only ventilation is seen at the back. On the right side, there are two USB A ports, and on the left side, there is a power port, Ethernet port, HDMI port, audio jack, Thunderbolt port, and Type-C port.
Who is it suitable for?
This laptop is not a suitable option for gaming or running high-capacity software. However, for those interested in gaming, this can be an excellent option.
Along with that, this laptop can also be a good option for gamers, content creators, programmers, or web developers. This means that this laptop can be suitable for gamers, content creators, programmers, or web developers.
