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

Runs cool and quite, with very nice performance.

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.

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.

Es mi primera laptop gaming que me he comprado, la verdad que todo muy bien desde el envío por parte de Amazon, la caja muy bien compacta. Ahora bien, la laptop en sí no me ha dado problemas he jugado al Rust de manera fluida, obviamente como toda laptop gaming se calienta pero es aceptable y para el precio creo que ha sido una buena compra.

I just received my 2023 ROG STRIX G16 and there is no number pad. WTH?!? I spent a month reviewing laptops and chose this one because I wanted the performance without the large keyboard with number pad on the side. I chose this one because it is advertized as having the number pad built into the mouse pad and it DOES NOT!

I did a LOT of research for a new gaming rig. Normally, I build Desktops. but decided to look and se what Laptops had to offer. Now, I am no E-Sports gamer or anything, but I love for my games to run smoothly. I connect this thing to my Samsung Odessey G9 (5120x1440 native) and crank everything to max and go... Games run smooth, the fans arent too loud and I would highly suggest a cooling pad to get just a bit more out of this thing.

I really am enjoying this laptop so far. The high power limited 3070ti plays all the games I enjoy at 100-140 fps and the screen looks quite good. The speakers are the best Ive heard on a gaming laptop so far (although i wish they could be a bit louder.) I upgraded mine from 16 gigs of ram to 32 and the process was pretty close to simple- since there are two ribbon cables connecting to the LED light bar you should be careful of.

Do not get this laptop if you wish to replace a typical desktop computer and use it with dual external monitors. Especially via the USB C port. I am constantly dealing with the computer entirely freezing up and losing HDMI signal. This occurs when doing absolutely nothing CPU/GPU intensive. Simply opening a Netflix tab will kill the monitor signal and the entire computer will become unresponsive for many minutes at a time, often requiring a hard restart.

Theres a lot to talk about here, but I just want to touch on my use cases. Laptop is extremely powerful especially comes with an RTX 4070. Does help offload a lot of pricing power to the graphic art and this is the main reason why you would wanna get this laptop over something else. I was able to play games on max graphic, and it runs very smoothly. I hooked it up to my Samsung G9 monitor and it runs games at 240 FPS. Aesthetically, its not really a look that I like compared to some of the more slicker laptop out there but youre getting this laptop because of the Intel i9 and Nvidia graphic card. Overall anyone that wants to up their gaming machine this is the one. The battery life is obviously very poor, because it drains a lot of power. I wouldnt recommend you playing this on battery powered because it does throttle once it heats up.

Great product at first, but the laptops screen soon stopped turning on less than a day in.
