I never thought I’d see the time when laptops had desktop level performance. But one thing remains the same, my empty wallet 😂

Asus are always the best at making very good speced laptop

I got the 18"
I believe the positives have been covered. I will share the negatives I have:
1. The laptop fans are extremely noisy.
2. The laptop is heavy. I cannot hold it with one hand no matter what
3. The keyboard keys are small and uncomfortable. If you are planning on using this laptop for anything else than gaming, this is not the right keyboard.
4. The power cable is short. The power plug is not straight, it bends. It sits right next to the LAN cable and can interfere with it. Why would I want to bend any of the cables??
5. The laptop gets extremely hot. You cannot use it on your lap. It has to be on a table/desk. You cannot use it on your bed unless you have a stand for the laptop. It needs to breathe and when it breathes it is lava...
Would I buy it if I knew these details? No. This laptop is not for me.

These are literally the most powerful and best gaming laptops. Nothing compares to the technology

[NeonNapper]

Yeah, I was going to buy the 16 inch mini led with 4090.. but they are not selling them in the UK... checked with all suppliers

[Najbrz]

Bought both of these for €1600 each, mine was a year old then & the one I bought for my brother is brand new. Prices for the new 2023 are way trough the roof, but it was similar for these two when they got released out. Either buy a generation older or buy a used one with extended warranty (mine has 5y).

Mine:
Asus RoG Strix G17
G713QR-HX023T
CPU: R7-5800H
GPU: RTX3070
RAM: 16GB-DDR4-3200
SSD: 2TB

Brother:
ASUS RoG Strix G17
G713RW-KH129W
CPU: R7-6800H
GPU: RTX3070Ti
RAM: 16GB-DDR5-4800
SSD: 1TB

Wonderful video, you were able to cover key features in a short period of time. Beautiful lighting quality on your video as well. Enjoyed it.

The fastest comment that you can see ⚡

I wish I could buy one of these but I need to work at least 15 years in Afghanistan to be able buy one 😞

[eyang]

They also have the scar 17 as well. Wonder if the 16 is already big enough for portability?

[GeekTherapyRadio]

If you can find them for sale, that is. They are out of stock everywhere. (Comment written 2/14/2023)

[leverett]

The sunglasses compliment the ROG logo alright 😎

[altamashparwaiz]

Does it come with classic non translucent body ?

[synstark]

Hey Saf, quick question:
1. Any Coil Whine while Gaming and also when doing normal stuff like YouTube, Browsing etc?
2. How is the screen bleeding?

[Warlockth]

Thank you for the video, I see a lot of reviews for the scar 18, but none for the 16.
Would you mind a follow up comparing both in terms of thermals and performance?
Both laptops have the same internals, but the 18 has more surface to dissipate the heat, I wonder how much variation there is between the two models.
Thank you again for posting this video.

[davidalarcon]

Thank you, so both are the same, the only difference is the size of the screen right?

[alanakavanagh]

I have the 2024 Strix Scar 16 and it is fantastic! I travel a lot for work so a tower just doesn’t make sense for me. All my mates have really impressed self built pc’s and I was always struggling to play games with them. I had a medion erazer with a 1050 and i5 so the difference now is absolutely insane!

[vevercak]

Hey I got a question I am thinking about buying a laptop. Right now my top 2 are: asus rog 18 highest specs 4tb, 64gb ram for 4700€ or Msi gt77hx 2tb, 32gb ram for 4700€. Which is better in your opinion? Also can I reach the max stats if I uograde the msi with kingston 64gb ram set or should I just wait and buy the more expensive version? If you know anything that would help me decide I would really appreciate it. Watched nearly every video from you and other youtubers but still cannot really decide.

[aidancope]

Does the 16 have mini led and 4090 options?

[EpicGamingEncounters]

I have same laptop 32.0 GB ram edition. Tested ton of games, only had problems with Star Citizen which is poorly optimized, on max setting 4k resolution it could run only on 50+ fps... Rest games runs minimum on 120+ fps. I only have 2 problems, but I think it is most of from software. Sometimes it makes static noises on battery and GPU switching system is not really good. At the end it is superb laptop, the sound is awesome, it even have bases, screen is nice. Build quality is very nice. I think it is best option for people who travel a lot.
