Overview

High performance with an 18" FHD+ 144 Hz display

The ASUS TUF Gaming A18 laptop lets you play your favourite PC games in the best conditions thanks to its high-performance components, 144 Hz display and high-end design that leaves nothing to chance. Enjoy high gaming performance with a particularly smooth display!
 

Performance and comfort for gamers

With an 18-inch screen, enjoy greater gaming comfort and see your enemies more clearly! Powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 260 processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 graphics chip, the TUF Gaming A18 easily handles the most demanding games. This ASUS laptop is also equipped with a dedicated MUX switch with NVIDIA Advanced Optimus support, allowing you to fully utilise the power of your GPU when gaming.

FHD+ display with 144Hz refresh rate

Another highlight of the TUF Gaming A18 is its stunning 18-inch display with FHD+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. NVIDIA G-SYNC technology will synchronise the display's refresh rate with the GPU's output to reduce lag, stuttering and eliminate image tearing for ultra-smooth, realistic graphics. The screen covers 100% of the sRGB colour space, perfectly reproducing the colours intended by the creator. On an 18-inch laptop chassis, this resolution offers a beautiful pixel density, ensuring that your videos and games are as immersive as possible without sacrificing portability.

Powerful cooling

Powerful components require powerful cooling, which is why ASUS has equipped the TUF Gaming A18 with a range of technologies to keep it running at peak performance. A full-width heat sink spans the entire rear of the machine, powered by 2nd Gen Arc Flow fans inspired by aircraft engines. Combined with integrated dust filters and a complex network of heat pipes, the A18 will never lose its cool.

Superior audio quality

Two Dolby Atmos-powered speakers deliver a high-fidelity soundstage. Hi-Res audio technology lets you hear music through headphones as the artist intended. Two-way AI Noise Cancellation neutralises background noise in incoming and outgoing communications, allowing you to focus on the action.

    Performance / Quality / Screen

    This PC works perfectly. I was looking for a laptop with an 18-inch screen, and this one fully meets my expectations, both in terms of screen quality and finish. The different modes are very practical: I regularly use the “performance” and “silent” modes. The settings and overall ergonomics are smooth and responsive. It’s the perfect gaming PC. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-performance, high-quality laptop built to last.

    ASUS TUF gaming A18 purchase

    Everything went perfectly, the PC works perfectly. I chose this PC because it has everything needed to be robust, reliable, and offer good performance, as well as comfort with its 18-inch screen. The two drawbacks that bother me about this PC are the keyboard plastic, which seems quite flexible, and the screen being 144Hz even though this PC can reach up to 300 FPS in some games.

    Personally, that does not bother me too much because I am used to consoles, so 140 FPS is already very smooth. Playing in silent mode will only increase the PC's lifespan!

    Thank you for your professionalism in the advice exchanged, as well as for your responsiveness!

    Very good advice

    The salesperson supported us in choosing the computer by explaining the necessary technical specifications according to the intended use for a student at a graphic art school. Different models depending on the budget were offered to us.
    Good welcome
