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

Im not sure if windows 11 is the problem from my bad experience or is it due to Asus hard/software. For example, when AC power is unplugged and wakes up from sleep mode, the screen remains black and only the mouse arrow is displayed, also due to this sometimes the lights of the keyboard dont turn on.

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.

This laptop is incredibly impressive.

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.

Run very hot, a cooling pad is mandatory

When we received the laptop it was well packaged and very impressive looking. When powered up however the screen did not work. As if there was no back lighting. If you shine a light on the screen you could see that there was in fact something on it but it was too dark to see and the brightness did not adjust. Asus warranty was quick to resolve this and fix it at no charge. Now it’s up and running perfectly. So fast! The colorful RGB lights just set the whole thing off. Awesome looking. The camera quality is fantastic as well. This is great for gaming or for gaming working when I need multiple processes running at once. I’m very happy with it and it’s exactly what I would expect in a gaming laptop at this price point.

everything as far as the laptop goes is great. well more than great, its better than i could have thought and expected. only problem is the asus box inside the amazon shipping box had zero thats zero packing . so was sliding around in the larger box. i know not a huge deal yet feel could have something to protect a $2100 laptop. givin the prime membership i pay for and i never see 2 day shipping anymore ... a few bubble wrap pieces or crumbled paper would do....anyway hope this helps

Me gustó calidad del ensamble, escalable, procesador poderoso.

This laptop is better than my own gaming rig i built <insert tears> I honestly love that i can take my gaming on the go for vacations or any other reason. It runs so smoothly and is pretty quiet for all that power it puts out. The latest 4070 graphics card + the price put together just are too great of a deal to pass up honestly. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a simple build without putting in all of the time and effort of building a desktop PC!

Not sure what happened but everything is great but my touch pad bottom right corner is sticking up, I just had this laptop for a week, I’m thinking sending it back for a replacement. Anyone has this problem. Thanks
