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

Best gaming laptop for the money. This computer is an amazing value even with GPU prices dropping. This thing is more powerful as most desktops (14 cores!). Still very portable and useable for everyday things like work editing and gaming on the go. The only complaint I have is the battery life. Between the i9 CPU and the 125w 3070ti GPU this thing wont not last long when not plugged in. IMO it also looks a lot better once I had it in person compared to what I was expecting. If I could only have one computer in my life with out spending a ton of money I would hands down pick this laptop. I am very happy with my purchase so far.

I haven’t tested this for editing 4k for work yet. For vector and pixel based art programs, I never had any buffers longer than 10 seconds. With the art pad and near everything… it work flawlessly with creators driver on the graphics card. Great price.

Update FEB 2023

E piu cattivo di un vichingo, piu resistente di uno spartano e piu veloce di mbappe

Rendimiento de PC en un portátil. Realmente impresionado

Works great! I am very happy with its performance so far. Finally being able to play God of War and Cyberpunk on high or even ultra is nice.

Laptop runs great, has handled everything Ive thrown at it flawlessly. Runs most of my games on medium at 200+ frames, NEVER had a game play under 80 frames unless i intentionally set the framers lower for environmental heat reasons (I play outside allot and its hot lately). My only complaint it with Amazon, my 3 day order turned into 5 days, then 7 days, then 2 weeks, and still arrived on day 15, not 2 weeks. It was not an isolated incident either, I ordered the 17 inch model for my father a few days later and received the same run around for 2 more weeks. I am a patient guy but I drive trucks for a living, I cant just sit waiting for packages for a month when I was told when ordering the would arrive within a week.

Its a great laptop almost a desktop replacement, however there is one big flaw. Whenever I am playing a game the track pad just stops working. What Ive read online this is a windows 11 issue though none of the troubleshooting things Ive done help. An otherwise great product ruined by a crap operating system. Update dropped this to one star cause I literally cannot use this thanks to the most recent windows update. Without the option to let me use windows 10 which was stable and functional I have to use this windows 11 garbage now im endlessly stuck in a blue screen of death loop. Do not buy any product that comes with windows 11 the experience is more like a virus.

This laptop is incredible with DDR5, i9, and a 3070ti and played every game I could throw at it. BUT the power adapter died after I had the laptop for only 6 days, so Amazon refunded me $200 to purchase a new power adapter instead of returning the entire computer. Tons of hassle for a part failure on a brand new computer. I will update this review as this unfortunate situation progresses.

Big dissapointment since I like Asus gaming laptops, but after jumping through hoops of Asus Customer Support and constantly having to remind them what the issue was, and that the device serial number doesnt register on their support site? This is the worst laptop and customer support I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY at the moment, the laptop power button and lights work but the system and screen does not turn on. I have tested the computer on a second monitor and have tried every single guide available for Asus Laptop with black screen and none of them work. I contacted Asus Customer Support via calls and for 30 mins straight, all they could confirm was that my serial number was invalid and told me to wait for Customer Support emails for assistance. This morning, I woke up to the first Customer Support email asking me why I didnt just register the serial number for customer support assistance, to which I have to explain why that isnt possible AGAIN. The second email I got was from another Customer Support individual who says that he has read all of my information (finally) and concluded that my serial number is in fact VALID then immediately concluded that my problem is resolved. News flash, I am still $2000 poorer and my gaming laptop is still broken and they have done absolutely nothing to address this issue, despite me asking for a replacement or simply just provide guides to help me fix the laptop. If I have read everything correctly, the manufacture is responsible if the product is faulty and the insurance I purchased with the laptop only applies if the laptop itself is damaged by outside elements like spillage and they cant even get that sorted out. You are risking wasting your money, time and mental well being by buying this glorified rainbow paperweight and believe that customer support will help you out. They wont and will only make your day worse.
