Asus has brought its latest flagship gaming powerhouse, the ROG Strix G18 (2025), to the Nepali market. Designed for gamers and creators seeking top-tier power and an expansive workspace, this notebook packs a massive 18-inch screen, multi-core CPU choices, and NVIDIA's newest RTX 50-series GPUs.
Expansive Screen and Distinctive Design
The standout feature of the ROG Strix G18 is its massive 18-inch IPS display. It offers a crisp WQXGA resolution, a fast 240Hz refresh rate, and a tall 16:10 aspect ratio. Complete DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, G-SYNC support, and Dolby Vision make it well-suited for high-end gaming and creative taskflows alike, while thin bezels maximize screen area. Design-wise, it showcases signature ROG aesthetics with bold RGB accents and is offered in Volt Green or Eclipse Grey. Given its overall footprint, the machine weighs roughly 3.2 kg.
Performance and RTX 50-Series Graphics
Underneath, the laptop offers flexible high-performance CPU choices including AMD's Ryzen 9 8940HX and 9955HX, alongside Intel's Core i9-14900HX and Core Ultra 9 275HX. Multi-threaded workloads like video editing and 3D rendering benefit greatly from the Ryzen architecture, while high single-core speeds on the Intel side drive quick load times in games.
For graphics, buyers can choose between the new NVIDIA RTX 5060, RTX 5070 (both with 8GB VRAM), or the higher-tier RTX 5070 Ti (12GB VRAM). All graphics options operate at a maximum TGP of 115W (which includes 15W via Dynamic Boost) and feature a MUX Switch alongside NVIDIA Advanced Optimus support.
Memory, Connectivity, and Features
Memory configurations go up to 32GB of DDR5 RAM paired with up to 2TB of PCIe Gen 4 SSD storage. Physical connectivity options feature USB-C with Power Delivery, Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1, and an Ethernet port. Wireless connections rely on modern Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4.
A 90Wh battery provides power on the move. Extra highlights include a per-key RGB backlit keyboard, Dolby Atmos sound, and an IR camera supporting Windows Hello. In the box, Asus bundles a gaming mouse and backpack. The product includes a 2-year global warranty plus 1-year accidental damage protection.
Price in Nepal
When evaluated against alternatives like the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 (2025), the Strix G18 prioritizes maximum screen real estate over lighter portability. The starting price of the Asus ROG Strix G18 (2025) in Nepal is NPR 329,999.
