ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 240Hz IPS QHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Intel Core i9 12900H, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 11 Home, G533ZW-AS94Q

This laptop is the best laptop I have ever owned. Given this is my first laptop in this price range but it absolutely blows me away in the difference between this and a sub 1000$ laptop. The processor is super fast. If you want something done it wastes no time doing it. The memory is fast and is plentiful for my uses, cad, 3d printing and gaming. The rtx 4070 has no issues with all modern games on high settings. The 1tb nvme drive transfers files at lightning speed. The 166hz display is much easier on the eyes than other displays. I have no issues with eye strain even after hours of staring at the screen. Everything is fully customizable on the laptop from the background and themes to the rgb lighting and patterns for different states of the computer. The keyboard and large track pad are responsive and comfortable to use. Battery life is great for everyday general use but does diminish quite a bit while gaming.

Run very hot, a cooling pad is mandatory

Ive been using Asus products for years to be fair to the brand. However, my experience with this laptop is that after just longer than two months Im working with Asus support to have it fixed. Its been a pain since I got it with the I/O acting up. Today the laptop shut off randomly when plugging in monitors to the thunderbolt and USBC and they are dead.

My particular job requires the use of many VMs running all at once, so I was really keen on getting a laptop with an i9 processor. Looking in that market, anything with an i9 is easily $2K and onward. I picked this laptop up on the recent Amazon Black Friday deal for $1,649.99 which was an absolute steal! Im a big fan of the sleek black thin look (which is not common among some of the other gaming laptops like Alienware) along with the option to disable the extra lighting (it looks great with it on). Its just a personal preference of mine to not have my laptop look like a Christmas tree in a professional work environment. I just threw MW2 on here and it runs maxed out with a solid 60 fps throughout. This truly is an all-in-one package for me in terms of work and play. I went out of my way to upgrade my ram to 64 GB for the purposes of running multiple VMs and it runs fantastically. My only caveat (but this is common now-a-days with these manufactured laptops) is the little amounts of bloatware that was present in the operating system; but that was a quick uninstall. All in all, fantastic product with a great build, I am really glad I pulled the trigger on this purchase.

So far I have only good impression about this laptop. It’s very powerful.

la caja llego golpeada y al abrir la laptop hay una estela de luz que no permite poder utilizarla de forma comoda, Amazon no hace reemplazos en este producto asi que cuidado si utilizas tarjeta de credito , riesgo alto de quedarte 2 semanas sin equipo.

This thing is a beast. I have run a few benchmarks on it.

Couple weeks ago I requested to return my Asus G15 Advantage laptop in favor for this one, which is the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 with i9-12900h CPU and Nvidia 3070-ti GPU. However, they sent me a used one! I chose to buy the brand new one, but they sent me a used one without its original packaging, etc. The Asus G15 Advantage laptop I got about 3 weeks ago was brand-new in its original, sealed packages with serial codes and everything, etc. I think the Asus Scar here is low on quantity; that’s probably why I got a used one, but even then I shouldnt have paid full price for a used one.

Upgraded from an ASUS from 2016, and I can’t be any happier with my purchase! Computer runs absolutely flawlessly! I tested on Apex Legends (The main game I play) - 300fps on ultra graphics without even so much as a hiccup! Tested there after on some other games (Elder Scrolls Online, New world, Guild Wars 2, Overwatch and CoD - Warzone) all running absolutely perfect!

Excellent product really! Good laptop been using for 2 months with great accessories and good battery life.
