ASUS ROG Malaysia has also officially released the ROG Strix G16 (2026) and ROG Strix G18 (2026), from RM12,999 for the baseline Strix G18, up to RM16,999. We’re intrigued by the tool-less chassis but they still feature top-tier Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processors and NVIDIA GeForce RTX5080 GPUs. If you buy before 17 July 2026 you get a complimentary ROG StrixScope II X gaming keyboard worth RM538, while stocks last.
Tool-Less Chassis Mechanics for self-repair?
For the 2026 Strix G lineup ASUS has integrated an all-new tool-less chassis design into both the 16 inch and 18 inch frames, allowing users to seamlessly open up the machine and swap out critical components like storage or memory on their own. Aimed at content creators and gamers alike, it should offer a slightly less painful upgrade pathway for when you have a bit more extra money or need something specific in terms of hardware.
