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

The specs are strong, as anyone shopping for such a machine will recognize. The 4070 combined with the 165Hz screen give buttery, smooth performance. Cooling is decent.

For a laptop, this is extremely impressive. The i9 12900H can outperform my previous desktop pretty easily and the RTX 3070 TI can handle most 2k gaming without struggling. This laptop comes with performance tuning and RGB adjustment right out of the box. The keyboard is nice, I personally dont like the number pad and had to disable that function because its just to easily activated, having the number pad to a keybind instead would have been perfect though. Additionally, only16gbs of RAM and 1tb of storage in a $2000+ laptop is kind of underwhelming and 32gbs RAM and a 2tb drive for the OS would have been more ideal, but at least they are fully upgradable with and have an extra m.2 slot available assuming you are willing to open up this thing.

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).

First boot froze for two hours, after restarting it I wiped the drive and installed windows 10 and its much better. I did get a black screen twice my first day while gaming but fixed some settings and swapped out the SSD for a better one. The laptop is on par with my gaming PC (i9 9900k, asus strix 3080 GPU) when I run tests (novabench, userbench and MW benchmark for fps).

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.

I got the ASUS gaming laptop for my young son who likes playing various games like Roblox, Fortnite, and Mine craft, etc. I figured it also would be useful for him to have as a backup for working on school projects and other research since he could take it with him wherever he goes.

Just incredible. the feeling to the touch is just pleasant. I feel like typing on the keyboard all the time. The only downside is the lack of a built-in camera. But I stay Asus.

This laptop has been an experience well worth the price. It runs all my games at max graphics with 120+ fps with beautiful quality and responsiveness. The form factor is sleek and compact, and I can enjoy gaming anywhere with it. It does get a little hot, but the laptop’s thermal management system is more than sufficient and I’ve had no problems with overheating. Overall I’d recommend this to anyone in the market for a high end gaming laptop.

Liked everything about it including performance, build quality, design. Except :

Para uso exigente, programar, compilar, jugar e incluso como server de gran rendimiento sin mayor problema, nada le pesa y se nota la gran diferencia con generaciones anteriores de procesador, sin embargo su gran pero es la bateria, he hecho pruebas con el maximo ahorro de bateria posible navegando en internet y escuchando musica con audifonos y la verdad es que no logro llegar mas alla de 2.5 hrs de duracion. Es una pena que Asus indique duraciones de 5 hrs o mas cuando esta muy lejos de llegar a eso.
