ASUS previewed the ROG Strix G10 Plus HyperGear ahead of the May 15 ROG DAY 2026 event in Guangzhou with Intel’s Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus processor, up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 laptop graphics, and a massive 320W combined power target. The notebook sits at the very top of ASUS’ 2026 gaming lineup and corresponds to the global ROG Strix SCAR 18 configuration prepared for international markets.
At the Performance side, ASUS paired the motherboard with an upgraded power delivery layout and a redesigned internal structure aimed at sustaining far higher wattage levels than typical flagship gaming laptops. According to the company, the processor PL1 can move beyond 200W under heavy workloads while the CPU and GPU together can push total platform power to 320W.
That figure places the G10 Plus HyperGear above many current RTX 5090 gaming notebooks, especially thinner models that operate under tighter thermal limits. ASUS clearly designed this machine around sustained high-load gaming, rendering, and creator workloads rather than portability-focused performance tuning.
Cooling hardware received a major redesign for this generation, continuing the thermal focus ASUS introduced with the ASUS ROG Strix G18 (2026). Inside the chassis sits a large vapor chamber paired with a triple-fan cooling arrangement and dual-sided liquid metal application. The larger thermal layout should help maintain higher clock speeds during extended gaming sessions and heavy GPU workloads where thinner notebooks often throttle more aggressively.
Display specifications land firmly in flagship territory as well, an area where the ASUS ROG Strix OLED XG27AQDMG Gen 2 gaming monitor recently targeted ultra-high refresh gaming users. ASUS offers the laptop with an 18-inch BOE Mini LED panel running at 3840 × 2400 resolution with a 200Hz refresh rate. The display carries 2,000 local dimming zones alongside peak brightness reaching up to 1,600 nits. ASUS confirmed VESA ClearMR 11000 certification, placing strong focus on motion clarity and fast-moving scenes.
One of the standout additions involves ELMB support paired directly with Mini LED hardware. ASUS describes the notebook as the first mobile gaming device to combine Extreme Low Motion Blur technology with a Mini LED panel. The display surface receives an AGLR anti-reflective and anti-glare coating intended to reduce reflections under bright lighting conditions.
The ROG Strix G10 Plus HyperGear moves well beyond standard gaming laptop memory and storage capacities, approaching workstation-class configurations seen in the ASUS ProArt PX13. ASUS confirmed support for up to 128GB DDR5-6400 CSO-DIMM memory and as much as 8TB PCIe Gen5 SSD storage, pushing the notebook close to workstation-class territory for creators working with large projects, AI workloads, or high-resolution media production.
Power requirements are equally substantial. ASUS pairs the hardware with a 90Wh battery, though heavy gaming workloads will primarily rely on external power. Earlier information tied the global ROG Strix SCAR 18 version to a massive 450W power adapter, but ASUS has not confirmed charger details for the Chinese-market variant yet.
ASUS confirmed that the lower-end ROG Strix G10 Plus and standard Strix G10 models will arrive alongside the HyperGear edition during the May 15 presentation. Full pricing and final configurations should become official during the event.
