Показать описание
The 2023 Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 refresh is a high performance laptop with the new AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX processor and your choice of high wattage NVIDIA RTX 4080 or 4090 dedicated graphics. By current standards, this is a lower priced offering in the top tier of gaming laptops. It has a QHD IPS full P3 gamut display, per key RGB lighting with body lighting effects, a vapor chamber with Conductonaut Extreme liquid metal and the usual wide array of ports. It competes with the Intel 13th gen Core i9 mobile processor line and models like the MSI Raider, Razer Blade 16 and 18 and even the larger MSI GT77 Titan.

Love your videos! So detailed and helpful to understand. Often times with even basic things other reviewers fail to cover as a regular user. We can always go read the specs but the rest is all hands-on experience. Keep them coming!

I come for the tech and stay for the t-shirts.

I got the 2023 Asus ROG Duo 16 AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX Hexadeca-Core-Prozessor with the 4090 GTX and it is insane. I'm using it for Blender, Unreal 5, zbrush and video editing, and the dual screens makes it a dream machine for a 3d artist. I'm basicly making a game with it.

Nice review Lisa! I have an older Alienware m17 and found that even at the dimmest setting, the screen is TOO bright when watching movies in a darker room. Although this review focuses on all of the key areas for a gaming laptop, it would also be great to see how dim the screen can be set. As a comparison, the Macbook Pro 16 inch laptop has an excellent selection of screen brightness, allowing a much dimmer level which is more comfortable when watching movies in a darker room (and allows me to fall asleep more easily in some cases). Please consider this type of comparison in your future reviews. No one else does this currently. Otherwise, great work in your review as usual.

300 Nits was my laptop's screen brightness in 2012. They should bump that up to 600 Nits or use MiniLED at this price point.

I watch all of Lisa's videos just for the T shirt game. Puts a smile on the face everytime

I have the G733PZ (4080 edition) but with integrated AMD APU 610M I see annoying flickerings at desktop (known AMD Adrenalin driver issue never fixed!) and in addition I have sudden reboots issues, and USB-C rear ports problems too as mentioned at 6:45 (current BIOS 315) 😞😞

Lovely desktop replacement if you need a certain degree of portability. Not a fancy pants gaming laptop, less form over function, but its price reflects that.

Hi Lisa, love your channel. I was planning on getting a Lenovo legion pro 7i with 4080. It has two CPU configs, 7945hx and i9-13900hx. Which CPU would you prefer and why. Also I heard 7945hx does not have thunderbolt support do you know if that’s true.

If i replace the liquid metal with normal thermal paste will the temperatures be lower? Because the new Ryzen 9 with 3D is using thermal past and it runs like 20 Celsius cooler while being more powerful.

Thanks for a to-the -point review. I'd be a potential buyer if my 2021 ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 wasn't still handling things so well.

I have this same laptop 7945HX and 4090 but unfortunately the battery even using the silent profile does not reach more than an hour and a half without playing.... Just watching videos on YouTube.... Is this normal in your opinion?any tips to optimize the battery to at least 3 hours?

What do you recommend, this or alienware m18? With rtx4090 both.

How are the display output ports wired in this?
Is it possible to connect external display devices without involving the RTX card? This works on intel-based boards via Thunderbolt, but idk what about AMD-based ones.
