Gaming Laptop Review

The ROG Strix G18 (2026) pairs an Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus with an RTX 5070 Ti, dual Thunderbolt 5 and an 18-inch 300Hz Nebula panel for PHP 244,995. We benchmarked six games in CapFrameX and logged every sensor to find out where the Philippine SKU's 16GB of RAM actually costs you.

The Asus ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G835L) packs an RTX 5090 laptop GPU, Core Ultra 9 and a 240Hz mini-LED. We benchmark gaming, thermals and fan noise on this desktop-class machine.

The ASUS TUF Gaming FA506NFR is a budget gaming laptop with a Ryzen 7 7435HS and RTX 2050. We benchmark Cyberpunk, Baldur's Gate 3 and Valorant to see what the RTX 2050 can really handle.
