DESIGN
A NEW DESIGN PARADIGM FORM
FOLLOWS FUNCTION
Inspired by our collaboration with BMW Designworks Group, the Strix G melds form and function with a 3D Flow Zone that offers cutting-edge cooling you can see. Contrasting brushed finishes slice across the lid, accenting an asymmetrical cut-out that ensures unrestricted airflow around the back, where scissor door hinges make room for additional venting. The sculpted shape and stealthy surfaces add low-key style that you can accentuate with an optional light bar that wraps RGB around the edges.

INSPIRED LINES
The striking design is inspired by our collaboration with BMW Designworks Group to imagine the future of gaming laptops. Raised ridges riff off the swooping gills of the Face Off concept, adding a sculpted surface that draws your eye to the extra venting above the rear exhaust. The offset cut below the display shifts the balance toward the other side, reinforcing a distinctive, asymmetrical edge that echoes a design element explored during the project’s brainstorming workshops.
SLIM BEZELS FOR BIG IMMERSION
Super-narrow bezels frame the edges of the display, allowing us to fit a larger screen into a more compact footprint than typical laptops in this class. The bezels practically disappear, immersing you fully in the action without distraction. With a screen-to-body ratio of up to 81.5%, you get an expansive view of games, streams, movies, and more.

STRONG SCISSOR-DOOR HINGES
Inspired by gullwing doors, the silky scissor-door hinges effortlessly emerge when the lid is lifted and discreetly disappear back into the chassis when shut. This hidden hinge design keeps a low profile and opens up additional space for venting and cooling around the heatsinks at the back. The concealed hinges are also better protected from cracks that can affect exposed alternatives.

EASY-OPEN CHASSIS
The Strix G simplifies upgrades by making the memory slots and storage bays readily accessible. Standard screws secure the bottom of the chassis; they're well within reach and can be removed without special tools. The hooks holding the edges together are smaller and stronger than before, with a looser fit that makes it easier to separate the bottom panel and get under the hood.

GO WITH THE AIRFLOW
Ample airflow is a fundamental aspect of effective cooling, so the hinges are shifted forward to leave more room at the back for a heavily ventilated 3D Flow Zone that lets the Strix G exhale more effectively. Perforated ridges race across the rear to facilitate extra flow that helps reduce component temperatures. A patented, trapezoidal cut carves out the bottom of the screen, ensuring nothing obstructs the venting below, while giving the Strix G its signature, asymmetric appearance.
MORE BLADES INCREASE AIRFLOW
The dual N-Blade fans are designed for maximum airflow. Carefully shaped intake shrouds use curved edges and raised guides to help the fans draw in more air. Once inside, it’s blasted toward the heatsinks by liquid-crystal-polymer blades that are 33% thinner than conventional designs yet still strong enough to spin at high RPMs. The Strix G matches our highest blade density with 83 per fan, improving airflow by up to 15%.
COOLZONE KEYBOARD
Extended gaming sessions warm up internal components and can cause the keyboard above to become uncomfortable to touch over time. To keep your fingers cool, the Strix G is strategically vented around the WASD keys to allow airflow from the fan below, improving comfort for longer gaming marathons by reducing the surface temperature by 2° Celsius compared to the previous generation.
SELF-CLEANING COOLING SYSTEM
Keeping the heatsinks free of debris is critical to maintaining optimal thermal dissipation, so our engineers designed a special anti-dust tunnel that catches and channels particles outside the chassis to prevent them from collecting on the fins. This self-cleaning system helps ensure consistent cooling performance over time, which improves long-term stability and overall reliability.
MORE ULTRATHIN FINS
Thermal energy is dissipated by heatsinks in the flanks. Each one is lined with ultra-thin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm, allowing higher density and lower air resistance than typical fins that are twice as thick. Depending on the CPU and GPU, there are up to 189 heatsink fins totaling 102,500mm2 of surface area, increasing heat dissipation by up to 10.4%, while reducing air resistance by 8.2%.
HEAT SPREADER FOR EVEN COOLING
The unique heat-pipe design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the GPU and CPU and redistributes it to minimize thermal throttling. The heat spreader stretches across up to 5 heat-pipes, allowing it to efficiently keep chipset power components below 85° Celsius. This consistent heat management helps sustain and extend the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of your system.
THE RIGHT MODE FOR THE MOMENT
Gaming laptops are versatile enough to tackle a range of tasks, but requirements vary wildly, so Intelligent Cooling adapts accordingly. It automatically switches between operating modes that optimize performance and acoustics for different games and applications. Turbo mode uses the highest fan speed and clocks to sustain maximum speed, Performance mode adjusts the clocks and cooling to lower noise levels for gaming, and Silent mode runs even quieter for lighter work and entertainment.
DISPLAY
SEE THE DIFFERENCE 144HZ MAKES
Victory comes down to just fractions of a second. Catch every moment of battle at up to 144Hz on the formidably fast gaming display. The rapid refresh rate makes full use of the powerful GPU, unleashing its potential for silky smooth graphics at truly high FPS. Framed by super-narrow bezels, the display gives you an expansive view of every encounter. With the superior visual accuracy and immersion, you can set your sights on being the last player standing.
AURA SYNC
Dim the lights and let Aura Sync take center stage. The Strix G’s keys feature translucent edges and transparent WASD caps to artfully accent the keyboard. They’re joined by an optional wraparound light bar that adds style to the outer rim of the chassis. Connect your favorite Aura Sync-compatible devices and coordinate colors and effects across your entire gaming environment.

Taking inspiration from the best desktop gaming keyboards, the Strix G features function keys that are spaced for fewer misses, and directional arrows that are isolated for precise fingertip control. The Space bar is extended and reshaped for greater comfort and accuracy when you need to jump into the thick of battle. The 15-inch G531 features a digital numpad on the touchpad available at the press of a button, while the 17-inch G731 offers a full numeric keypad.
① Gaps between the function keys for easier identification.
② Isolated arrow keys for the most accurate fingertip control.
③ The Space key has also been extended and reshaped for more comfort and fewer misses.
KEEP VITAL COMMANDS CLOSE
Five dedicated gaming hotkeys sit isolated above the keyboard for quick access to the volume and mic mute controls, performance modes, and Armoury Crate. They’re positioned on the upper left side, so you can access them instantly without tabbing out or taking your right hand off the mouse. Switch on your mic to strategize with your team or turn up the volume to hear every enemy movement in your vicinity without losing focus on the game.
PRECISE UNDER PRESSURE
Play more precisely in the heat of battle with full N-Key rollover and anti-ghosting technology. Together, they ensure that every keypress is properly detected and registered, regardless of how many commands are being entered at once. Shortcuts, functions, and other inputs that require simultaneous presses can be executed more accurately at any speed. Game with more confidence and enjoy a competitive edge when rapid response matters.
AUDIO
The Strix G’s side-firing speakers put you in the thick of the action. Smart Amp technology monitors audio output and makes real-time adjustments to keep the speakers within thermal and excursion limits, preventing damage to the cones. The resulting sound has less noise distortion, higher dynamic range, more bass, and significantly higher potential output. Pump up the volume and hear every enemy movement, firefight, and environmental audio cue in the game.
