You will never run out of energy again. This year, Asus renewed its ROG lineup with two new laptops: the ROG Strix G16 and the ROG Strix G18. Machines with larger screens, integrated into equally compact frames and equipped with the latest Nvidia graphics cards (GPUs). Whether you are a gamer or a creative, you will love these Asus computers.
You will see great things
A large screen for gaming or even work is very valuable. With notebooks, however, this is often at the expense of practicality … except for Asus. With its 2023 models of the ROG Strix, the Taiwanese manufacturer has managed to accommodate larger screens than the previous generation in the same housing. Instead of 15-inch and 17-inch panels, the G16 and G18 benefit from 16-inch (40.4 cm screen diagonal) and 18-inch (46 cm screen diagonal) screens.
This development is not trivial. Thanks to these modern screens, gamers benefit from significantly better visual comfort every day. ROG Strix G16’s has a 165 Hertz (Hz) refresh rate and just 3ms latency for an ultra-smooth gaming experience, which is crucial online to flush out your opponents first. The 16/10 format of the FHD+ screen (resolution of 1,920 dots by 1,200) is also interesting for aspiring editors, as it allows you to better see your timeline in length or even display the equivalent of 2 A4 sheets side by side.
The Asus ROG G16 is a machine with a sober design.

Want a bigger screen? The G18 features an 18-inch Nebula Display QHD panel (2,560 dot by 1,600 resolution). And this time, it can reach the 240Hz refresh rate, which is huge. The latency is always 3ms for always exemplary in-game responsiveness Note that this PC is compatible with Dolby Vision and Adaptive-Sync.
Uncompromising power
These screens would be nothing if not properly utilized by Nvidia’s state-of-the-art graphics cards (GPUs). For its part, the entry-level Asus ROG Strix G16 comes with a GeForce RTX 4050, and the ROG Strix G18 comes with a GeForce RTX 4070. Prudent choices to take advantage of the latest innovations in the best conditions.
In fact, the 40 series graphics cards benefit from the new Ada Lovelale architecture that uses Deep Learning Super Sampling 3 (DLSS) technology. Supported by artificial intelligence (AI), it enables high-quality graphics rendering and improves game fluency.The third generation of DLSS notably uses the Optical Flow Accelerator: an optical flow accelerator that allows the AI to build additional images without creating visual aberration and therefore to gain in fluidity. Profits would be four times higher, according to Nvidia.
The Ada Lovelale architecture also accelerates ray tracing, a technology that can simulate light and add depth to shadows. These contributions make the gaming experience even more immersive, especially in adventure games or RPGs like Cyber Punk 2077.
These functions not only require powerful components, like the RTX 40 series graphics cards of the Asus ROG Strix G16 and G18, but also a lot of energy. Nvidia has therefore developed Max-Q, a series of AI-based technologies to optimize processor and graphics card performance.. So much so that the autonomy of laptops is doubled and the machines become de facto quieter.
Everyone has their own gaming PC
The Asus ROG Strix G16 and G18 are the new gaming PCs of the moment. The ROG G16 has a smaller 16-inch (40.4 cm) screen, a modest Nvidia RTX 4050 GPU (on the entry-level version), and therefore at a more affordable price. The ROG G18 is a more powerful and comfortable alternative for lovers of large screens (18 inches, which corresponds to 46 cm screen diagonal). Asus has something for every taste and every need.
