The Asus ROG Strix G18 G814JIR-N6082W faces the competition

The Asus ROG Strix G18 G814JIR-N6082W is currently showing in promotion at Boulanger and positions itself as one of the only ones in its category to offer such a recent and powerful processor and graphics card with such a large amount of RAM as well as such a high frequency/definition screen with such faithful colors, all in such a large format. But it's heavy and thick

If this Asus ROG Strix G18 G814JIR-N6082W does not meet all your criteria, you will find in our guide Gaming laptop other configurations to play with a similar budget. For the same budget, choose the model with the most powerful graphics card, it will have the greatest impact on performance.

Chassis, connections, screen of the Asus ROG Strix G18 G814JIR-N6082W

Cooled by ROG Intelligent Cooling technology using 3 fans (compared to 2 usually), 7 heat pipes, Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal thermal paste as well as ventilation grilles, this versatile gamer and creator oriented laptop adopts a gamer look with its heavy and thick dark Eclipse Gray design with angular lines.

The connectivity integrated into this multimedia gaming laptop PC will delight a maximum of users because it includes 2 USB-C including 1 Thunderbolt 4, Ethernet and audio ports, Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 6E ax wireless modules for communicating and connect remotely, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or a monitor for example but also 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) ensuring transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.

When the keys are difficult to discern, you can obviously activate the backlighting of the chiclet keyboard.

The High Definition High Fidelity screen will delight gamers and creators alike.
It indeed adopts a 2.5K definition superior to Full HD associated with high DCI-P3 colorimetric accuracy. But also IPS technology providing significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically.
As a bonus, the screen is adorned with a frequency of 240Hz which clearly reinforces the overall fluidity, including in games, compared to the standard 60Hz, especially since the latency is reduced here to 3ms.
The screen which adopts a 16/10th format which is more comfortable in height than the standard 16/9th which displays more elements is adorned with an anti-reflective coating making it more readable in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) than a panel bright while being more restful for the eyes over a long period.

Performance, battery life of the Asus ROG Strix G18 G814JIR-N6082W

The Asus ROG Strix G18 G814JIR-N6082W targets those looking for a versatile, independent multimedia portable PC with a comfortable large format, powerful in gaming and creation equipped with recent components.

It is in fact powered by a high-end Intel processor. Raptor Lake Refreshthe Core i9-14900HX with 24 hybrid cores and integrated Iris Xe graphics module. It is coupled with a good amount of 32 GB RAM to deliver good overall power that demanding users will greatly appreciate since it is incommensurate with that provided by the vast majority of models on the market.

The power of this core is particularly deployed in areas that are intensive in CPU and RAM resources using multi-core, such as video editing, 3D rendering or photo editing. We obviously obtain much faster processing under this type of work than with a classic Quad/Hexa/Octo Core and 16/24 GB DDR4/5.

Creative people will be even more delighted that their multimedia processing and software taking advantage of GPU computing power benefit from the graphics acceleration provided by the onboard GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card. This is particularly the case under the Adobe suite, VSDC or Vegas.

Positioned at the high end, the GeForce RTX 4070 ray tracing is a dedicated NVIDIA Ada Lovelace graphics card thanks to which you can play the most recent games that require 3D resources. Under these, however, some concessions are necessary to obtain good playability due to the 2.5K definition. Because it requires more graphics calculations than Full HD, which implies a lower number of fps.

The GeForce RTX 4070 is in practice activated by NVIDIA Optimus technology to carry out graphics processing deemed too heavy for the Iris Xe.
With either one, you can obviously watch HD photos and videos.

Providing much lower performance, the Iris Xe is however favored wherever possible by Optimus. Because it consumes little energy and thus provides better autonomy.

Autonomy also represents a strong point of this configuration since it is around 8 hours on battery in light use. This is very appreciable considering the powerful versatile configuration provided.
On the other hand, this multimedia gaming laptop PC is clearly not the easiest to transport since it is heavy, thick and bulky at 18 inches. But much less than a desktop computer.

Still, depending on needs, Optimus switches automatically and in real time between the Intel Iris Xe and the GeForce RTX 4070. This dedicated GPU is called upon when the performance of the Iris desired tasks, typically for play.

On the storage side, Asus offers 2 slots for M.2 SSD, one being available to increase the capacity if necessary, which is still appreciable. We indeed find integrated a very comfortable 1 TB SSD to accommodate quantities of games, software and files including why not a personal production.

Let's remember the advantages offered by an SSD: silent operation, robust design, low energy consumption. And above all high velocity.
Thanks to the latter we can quickly access the online game cards and launch games/software, carry out processing and start/stop quickly.
Generally speaking, the SSD provides great responsiveness and fluidity in use.

Finally, when it is heavily used (e.g. games, treatments) this powerful versatile multimedia gaming laptop PC heats up and makes itself heard.
If necessary, it can be associated with a ventilated support to contain its temperatures (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
