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

Ive recently been turned on to ASUS more, and have not really been disappointed. I converted all my wifi networks from eero to ASUS Rog/Zen devices, and have not looked back. As a result, when I had the opportunity to try out the Strix G16, I had to.

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

Super rápida y potente

Bought the SCAR for my Son (August 2022) to replace his gaming needs while in college. Easy setup and upgrades for RAM and HDD. Ripped one of the RGB cables when we opened the bottom cover but was able to fix it (like they knew this would be an issue). Used Crucial website to verify compatibility. Battery does beat his school laptop (Dell E-series). He plays Dauntless, POE, WWZ, M/craft w/ mods, and has a pretty lengthy Steam catalogue of AAA titles. He prefers this laptop over his Dell because it can handle everything at once w/ dual monitors (he can game and work on a powerpoint and watch YouTube at the same time probably).

Ive been buyng gaming laptops since before they were really ready for gaming... this the computer that makes me think finally the technology has caught up to my desire for a quiet and cool gaming experience. I cant hear a loud fan chugging when Im playing video games, and Ive barely felt any heat off of this thing.

Man this thing is faster than my i9 9900KS, RTX 3090 $4600 build. Crazy Performance out of a Laptop. TRULY DESKTOP PERFORMANCE. I got this to replace the Samsung Galaxy Pro 360. I returned it because it just didnt have enough Performance to run my audio interface properly. I was going to get the galaxy book 2 pro 360 when it came out but I decided no. I needed better cooling and power. So I found this. And this thing delivers! For power users and super power users. This thing is ridiculous! The Cpu is out of this world! This thing is now my main Music production laptop and also serves as a competitive gaming pc. I didnt think it would be so good for gaming but its better my $4600 in some games. I said some because I only tried one out. Apex Legends.

When we received the laptop it was well packaged and very impressive looking. When powered up however the screen did not work. As if there was no back lighting. If you shine a light on the screen you could see that there was in fact something on it but it was too dark to see and the brightness did not adjust. Asus warranty was quick to resolve this and fix it at no charge. Now it’s up and running perfectly. So fast! The colorful RGB lights just set the whole thing off. Awesome looking. The camera quality is fantastic as well. This is great for gaming or for gaming working when I need multiple processes running at once. I’m very happy with it and it’s exactly what I would expect in a gaming laptop at this price point.

Super fast machine. Does not have a webcam, but that is actually perfect for my use. More USB ports would be ideal. Fans can be very noisy, and even the keyboard can start to get hot when it gets really going. I am using a KLIM cooling stand, which helps a lot.

First and foremost- we mainly use Macs/Apple but a few of our family members game frequently (which is definitely not something Apples are known for being any good at) and my husband is an Android/Windows developer, so we have several Windows machines around, including one he built specifically for gaming last year. So while Im an Apple expert of sorts, Windows boxes are still a bit foreign to me.

By far the coolest laptop I ever have. The RGB visual effect is awsome and it is perfect for playing game. The design of keystone and numerical keypad is intersting as well. PS: The review is written for a warranty extension from ASUS.
