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

The only con I have so far is that there’s no webcam but I knew of that prior to purchasing it. Most laptops webcams are serviceable at best, so it’s no big deal really. Gaming performance and battery are definitely an upgrade from my Dell G7 7500 RTX 2070 model. The 1440p screen looks amazing as well! Would recommend!

I run Elden Ring and Call of Duty everyday and it has zero issues.

The laptop is an absolute beast! i9 CPU doesnt break a sweat on multiple tasks. GPU is amazing. 300hz screen is beautiful. Added a 2TB NVME for games. This ROG is built for years of use.

This thing is a beast. I have run a few benchmarks on it.

Excelente

I am surprise it did not have numpad. But so far I am fine with it. The brightness is a bit low.

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.

Laptop runs great, has handled everything Ive thrown at it flawlessly. Runs most of my games on medium at 200+ frames, NEVER had a game play under 80 frames unless i intentionally set the framers lower for environmental heat reasons (I play outside allot and its hot lately). My only complaint it with Amazon, my 3 day order turned into 5 days, then 7 days, then 2 weeks, and still arrived on day 15, not 2 weeks. It was not an isolated incident either, I ordered the 17 inch model for my father a few days later and received the same run around for 2 more weeks. I am a patient guy but I drive trucks for a living, I cant just sit waiting for packages for a month when I was told when ordering the would arrive within a week.

The ASUS ROG Strix G16 far exceeded my expectations, delivering the best performance and features I have ever seen in a laptop. The specs are simply tops with a Core i9-13980HX powering this beast of a machine that is trimmed out with 16GB of DDR5 RAM, 1TB PCIe SSD, and incredibly, an NVidia GeForce RTX 4070 video card that alone is unbelievable in a laptop.

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.
