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 is a really good laptop. Every game that I have thrown at it runs smoothly. Call of Duty runs great. Forza Horizon 5 runs great. GTA runs great. Battery life is what should be expected of powerful gaming laptop like this. When unplugged youll get a couple hrs if running it on the highest settings. If you optimize it and put it on silent youll get more out of it if you want to run light tasks like browsing the web or using other light tasks. The touchpad has its issues. There is a delay in the movement of the cursor and at times the touchpad just stops working. Both are frustrating especially in situations where I dont have my mouse. Id expect issues like this to not happen on a $2000 computer. Other than the touchpad this computer is solid choice. Definitely loving it.

Summary: My current desktop is an older Dell XPS 8920 from 2017, which has a i7-7700 processor.  Its still decently fast running Windows 10 Home.  I havent had a dedicated gaming machine before, so I am very sure that this i9-12900 with the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti card is going to be insanely fast!  The last laptop we bought was a 13-inch MacBook back in August 2020.

It runs everything well. Not a great value. Check other options as prices change frequently.

Hasta ahora va todo bien, el uso ha sido simple, pero como lo pretendo veré que tan buen equipo realmente será. En pruebas sencillas no me ha dado nada de problemas y en juegos igualmente muy buenos resultados

Esta laptop tiene varios problemas, para empezar no tiene teclado numérico y en este modelo en específico el touchpad no sirve como numérico (la foto de amazon es completamente engañosa), además tiene un coil whine terrible, básicamente cuando los ventiladores están bajos suena un sonido eléctrico bastante agudo, normalmente en otras laptops solo se escucharía pegando el oído y poniendo extrema atención, en este caso es audible todo el tiempo y muy molesto, y eso que dice la laptop que 0db cooling para tareas sencillas no es cierto, todo el tiempo funcionan las ventiladores,además la laptop tiene problemas que podrían o no resolverse por actualizaciones de bios, si cierras la tapa tiene problemas al entrar en standby y sigue activa y cuando la vuelves a abrir puede estar muy caliente, además la iluminación del teclado se muere de repente por un problema del firmware y deja de funcionar completamente hasta que entras en el panel de Asus y cambias el efecto para reiniciar el servicio de la iluminación.

owned one of the prior year laptop strix scar, basically the same look and hardware base minus the updated graphics card, processor, and screen. The only flaw i noticed with these laptops is that the charging cable starts to become unfunctional after a year or so and replacements barely last a year due to minor movements with the laptop, sometimes im away at my desk and like to use it that way while its charing which contributes to the wear and tear of the cable which i barelly tug on it or at all.

I bought this as an alternative to my last working Msi gaming laptop. The last 3 Msi laptops were disappointing to say the least, defective when received and never repaired properly or were too fragile transporting to work and back, requiring constant maintenance and lasting 1 to 2 years before going out on me. So I was hoping ASUS could do better and wanted a 15.6 for my regular backpack. I was surprised that once I got the Win 11 OS configured right this little rig proved to be one of the best gaming laptops I ever bought. I have owned 6 or 7 over the years and this one impressed me with its reliability and although it looks kind of frail, proved to be pretty rugged so far. The Fed ex box it came in was banged up and there was virtually no foam, or padding of any kind around the inner box with the laptop - I was really surprised the laptop was not damaged. It is very light as well, so it is easy on an old back, but it will run almost any of my games maxed out and I can game with it in my lap without the fans burning me. No camera which is a bummer and the battery life unplugged is short as you would expect with such a powerful laptop, but I think it is an excellent gaming laptop for the casual or serious gamer hands down.

Llego en tiempo y forma, los juegos se sienten fluidos, aprox dura 90 min a 2 hrs la bateria usando la gpu, 3 hrs si es para ver videos o navegar en internet

Less than 6 months of buying the laptop the trackpad stopped working, after sending the laptop for repair the display started showing white spots so sending it again for service. As the return window has closed I cannot return/replace the laptop so ended up being forced to buy a warranty extension as I wanted to ensure that I do not want to pay for a new laptops repairs out of pocket. I would not recommend buying this laptop.
