Reviews for the Asus ROG Strix G18 G815LR
Source: Laptop Media
The ASUS ROG Strix G18 G815 (2025) is a masterclass in leveraging size for performance. This is not just a laptop with a bigger screen; it’s a thoughtfully engineered desktop replacement where every extra millimeter of its massive chassis is used to deliver a cooling solution that unlocks the full potential of its high-end components. It stands as a prime example of what a large-format gaming laptop should be: unapologetically powerful, incredibly cool-running, and built like a fortress. For the user who prioritizes raw, unthrottled power and thermal stability over portability, the Strix G18 makes a compelling case as one of the best-balanced enthusiast machines on the market.
