The ASUS ROG Strix G18 with an RTX 4080 GPU, a Core i9-13980HX CPU, 16 GB of DDR5-4800 memory, and 1 TB of PCIe Gen 4 storage is now going for a respectable 20% off at Best Buy. The price drop which represents a considerable discount of US$500 has brought the laptop to a record low rate making the machine worth considering.
With a gigantic 18-inch display and high-end internals, the ASUS ROG Strix G18 (2023) is among the laptops that can be classified as desktop replacements. If you are in need of such a powerful machine, you are in luck as the ROG Strix G18 price has dropped to an all-time low rate of US$1,999.99 at Best Buy (Buy it now).
Starting with the display, the ASUS ROG Strix G18 packs a massive 18-inch IPS panel with a QHD+ resolution, a 240 Hz refresh rate, 500 nits of advertised brightness, and a 3 ms response time. The display is also Pantone-validated and supports Dolby Vision HDR as well as NVIDIA G-SYNC.
Per our testing, the ASUS ROG Strix G18’s screen is excellent for both gaming and content creation workloads thanks to its wide color gamut (98.1% DCI-P3, 99.9% sRGB, and 85.6% AdobeRGB), an average brightness of 422 nits, and a low response time of <10 ms.
Moving on to performance, the RTX 4080 and Core i9-13980HX combo on offer should ensure blazing-fast performance no matter the task. In our testing of the RTX 4080, the GPU is on par with the desktop RTX 4070 (Available on Amazon) and is perfectly suited for QHD and high-refresh FHD gaming.
Finally, the ASUS ROG Strix G18 packs tons of ports and is quite upgradable thanks to two SO-DIMM and two M.2 slots for RAM and storage expansion respectively.
