100% ASUS ROG Strix G18 Ultimate Review: The No-Limits Gaming Laptop
Source: Android Authority English
I think with a question like this, you really have to consider what it is you want out of a laptop. Even if you want a gaming laptop, you might want something more portable than this model. And you also have to consider the cost. The ROG Strix G18 comes in at a whopping $3,499.99. That is a lot for a laptop, even a gaming laptop like this one that delivers top-tier performance. Still, if you’re not turned off by the cost or the size and weight, then it’s hard not to recommend this thing. When comparing it to something like the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i, for example, it comes in at about the same price. However, it has the same GPU, the same CPU, identical amounts of storage and RAM, and by all accounts comes out with better scores in every test we ran, save for a couple by a few points. It doesn’t have an OLED display, and it weighs about two more pounds. That being said, it’s the better pick, in my opinion.

75% Asus ROG Strix G18 (2025) review: not what I expected at all
Source: XDA Developers English
You already know what to expect out of the Strix G18. The size will turn away some, but if you're in the market for a massive desktop replacement, it's hard going wrong here. The screen isn't ideal, the battery life stinks, and the 18-inch size doesn't net you any extra performance. But you're still getting top-shelf performance, and for a price that undercuts the competition at $2,500.

90% The Asus ROG Strix G18 is proof that paying more for an RTX 5090 is a waste of money
Source: Laptop Mag English
The Asus ROG Strix G18 delivers stellar performance across the board, even outpacing top-tier RTX 5090 laptops. The roomy 18-inch display and crisp audio quality make for a truly immersive gaming experience that's tough to beat at this price. Why pay $1,000 more for an RTX 5090 laptop when the Strix G18 offers competitive performance for less? While I had a great time gaming on the Strix G18, it may not be for everyone. If you need something portable, this is not the best option. The 18-inch display is suitable for gaming and watching movies, but the G18 is too large to fit in most laptop bags and is relatively heavy, weighing over 7 pounds. A smaller 16, 15, or even 14-inch gaming laptop would be a much better fit if portability is a concern for you. However, if you want a laptop that can effectively replace your desktop PC, the Strix G18 could be the perfect fit.
