Triggering earlier means faster, effortless inputs with greater accuracy.And in Handbrake 1.6.1, our video encoding test — in which we make the laptop transcode a 4K video down to 1080p resolution — completed in 2:52. That’s a little slower than the m18 (2:35), but comparable to the ROG Strix Scar 18 (2:49) and much faster than the Razer Blade 18 (4:56). All things considered, the Strix G18 is incredibly capable. Asus ROG Strix G18 review: Audio With NVIDIA® Advanced Optimus, the laptop can automatically route frames from the discrete GPU directly to the display using a MUX switch, bypassing the integrated graphics. This pathing improves performance 5-10% compared to machines without a MUX Switch, making sure you get the absolute best gaming experience—all without needing to touch a single button. This automatic switching also preserves your machine's battery life, as it can dynamically transition between the high-power discrete GPU and the lower-power integrated GPU. No matter what you’re doing, your machine will switch to the most optimized mode without you having to lift a finger. Our advanced Two-Way AI Noise Cancelation technology runs on the CPU, which frees up the GPU to hit higher FPS. It works with any input device and also with downstream connections, letting you remove noise from both your own mic input and from incoming feeds. Noise-canceling settings can even be customized per program, filtering specific apps like voice chat without affecting game audio you want to remain untouched. Anything above 95 degrees is considered potentially uncomfortable, and that beats the 125.1-degree peak measured on the Alienware m18. The Asus ROG Strix G18 stayed pretty cool during productivity tests, but make sure you have a desk or a table to sit this thing on while gaming — otherwise, it could get very sweaty and awkward in a hurry.
