Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unbox the laptop and connect the power adapter to a wall outlet and the laptop.
- Press the power button to turn on the device.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to complete the Windows 11 Pro setup, including connecting to a Wi-Fi network and signing in or creating a Microsoft account.
- Install the latest drivers and updates from the Asus support website or via the pre-installed Asus software for optimal performance and compatibility.
Compatibility:
The ROG Strix G18 is designed to be compatible with a wide range of peripherals and gaming accessories. It features multiple USB ports (Type-A and Type-C), HDMI output, and audio jacks. Ensure any external devices or monitors you connect meet the system's requirements for optimal performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry microfiber cloth to clean the exterior surfaces and screen. For stubborn smudges, lightly dampen the cloth with water – never spray liquid directly onto the device.
- Ventilation: Ensure the laptop's air vents are kept clear of obstructions to maintain optimal cooling. Avoid using the laptop on soft surfaces like beds or carpets for extended periods.
- Battery: To prolong battery health, avoid constant full discharges and consider using battery care features within the Asus software that limit charging to a certain percentage when plugged in for long durations.
