Looking to sell your ASUS ROG Strix G18 (G814, 2023) for cash? This 18-inch powerhouse launched in early 2023 as the largest member of that year's Strix G lineup, built around 13th-generation Intel Core HX processors, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series graphics, and an 18-inch QHD+ ROG Nebula display. Before you request a quote, confirm you have the 2023 G814 and not a later refresh: the 2024 Strix G18 moved to Intel's Core i9-14900HX with faster DDR5-5600 memory (model suffixes ending in JVR / JZR / JIR), while the 2025 Strix G18 switched entirely to AMD Ryzen 9000-series chips with RTX 50-series graphics. The 2023 model carries plain JV / JI / JZ suffixes (e.g. G814JV, G814JI, G814JZ). Because this laptop shipped in several CPU and GPU tiers, and a few key ports and chargers differ between them, your exact configuration determines its resale value. Select your components using our tool above for an instant cash offer, or trade in your Strix G18 with us for a fast, no-hassle payout — more on that in the FAQs below.

Frequently asked questions

01 How do I confirm I have the 2023 Strix G18 (G814) and not the 2024 or 2025 model?
Check the model string on the bottom-panel sticker or in your BIOS. The 2023 G18 uses plain G814JV, G814JI, or G814JZ suffixes and runs a 13th-gen Intel Core i7-13650HX or i9-13980HX. If your model code ends in JVR / JZR / JIR or you see a Core i9-14900HX, that is the 2024 refresh. If it carries an AMD Ryzen 9000-series chip and RTX 50-series graphics, it is the 2025 model. All three share the 18-inch chassis, so the CPU generation and suffix letters are the reliable tell. Our guide to finding your ASUS model number walks through exactly where to look.
02 Can I sell a Strix G18 with cosmetic wear or hardware faults?
Yes. We buy gaming laptops in every operational state. Whether your G18 is near-mint, has loud or failing fans, a battery that no longer holds a charge, worn keycaps, a faulty hinge, or a cracked display, just select the matching condition grade above and your quote adjusts to a firm cash figure. There is no need to clean it up or make repairs first.
03 Should I wipe or remove the SSD before shipping?
Back up your game saves and personal files to an external drive or the cloud, then sign out of your Windows and Microsoft accounts before boxing it up. You do not need to open the laptop or pull the M.2 drive yourself — our intake team runs certified, multi-pass data sanitization on every incoming drive. You can read the full process on our data erasure protocols page.
04 Which configuration options raise my Strix G18 trade-in value the most?
The GPU is the single biggest value driver. A unit with the RTX 4080 (12GB) commands a noticeably stronger payout than the RTX 4070 or RTX 4060 (8GB) tiers. From there, the Core i9-13980HX over the i7-13650HX, a full 32GB of RAM, and larger 1TB or 2TB SSDs all lift your final offer. New to selling online? Our first-time seller guide covers what to expect from start to finish.
