ASUSROG Strix SCAR 16 (2025) Gaming Laptop, 16” ROG Nebula HDR 16:10 2.5K 240Hz/3ms, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5, 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, Wi-Fi 7, Win 11 Pro, G635LW-XS97

Decent, if overpriced laptop. This 2024 version has an Intel 14900HX CPU and the nVidia RTX 4080 laptop GPU w/12GB DDR6 video memory, 32 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM system memory; comes with 1TB SK hynix NVME SSD, I added a second NVME myself (Samsung 990Evo 2TB) for storage. The screen is nice, high refresh rate but only 16" so a come down from my desktop system's large 4K. Nonetheless, it looks great. Some minor scaling issues, but that was software based and seems to be solved. Heat has been an issue, so I got a laptop cooling 'pad' w/ 2 fans and it's doing better. Seems to run cooler, just noisy (but wearing headphones I hardly notice it). If it's throttling at the higher temps, I haven't noticed it in performance during gaming. I used it a lot at the beginning, but then switched to my desktop when I upgraded that (finally). Still, I'm glad I have it for when I have to travel. I've not had any failure so far.

I've had so many issues with this laptop I'm on the verge of sending it back. The laptop has black screened about 5-6 times in the week I've had it and then needed a full reboot from the bios just to get it working properly again. Also the laptop gets very hot, I've seen the gpu reach temps of 75°c with the help of a cooling pad beneath it. (playing helldivers2) but the lid itself gets hot especially if you leave the AniMe vision lights on. Which I believed to be the reason for the screen issues but even with them off after the first day of owning it I continued to have problems. It has also grey screened and also gone into some weird static screen as well which I did get a picture of luckily. So all in all I'd say hold off on this laptop until the issues are ironed out with it. Since it does cost $3,000+ dollars and I've had to restart it more times in a week than my old acer nitro 5 in 5+ years.

The media could not be loaded. The whole machine looks awesome, it's a joy of colors especially in the dark, I got the scar 16 with the i9 14th gen and the 4080, it can handle everything, in games I play everything at max, I don't even bother to lower the settings, nvidia dlss and frame generation takes the experience to another level, the only game that I touch settings is fortnite so I can play always at 240fps, the screen looks amazing, it is very bright, even at daylight you can see it perfectly, at night I always have it at minimun since it's very bright, I know there is certain concern about coil whine in some units, but on mine there is not such thing, I kinda heard it a the very first days of owning it but now it is kind of heardless or gone.Recently I have seen some videos of complaints about asus's warranty and their products, but also they have some of the nicests and top notch devices, and they are always trying to be at the top along with other companies.So far I haven't have any issues with it, I used to have another asus laptop which I got like 10 years ago, and I never had any problems with it aside from getting outdated for the new games and programs.This new laptop it's quite expensive but the effort was totally worth it.

Todo excelente

This is a powerful laptop but it’s very thick and heavy.The mini LED screen is advertised as 1100 nits but side by side the Lenovo legion 7i gen 9 which is 500 nits the legion seemed brighter and sharper. The sound is clear but very low volume I don’t get what they are doing here their top tier laptop with speakers on par with the legion go handset? Asus just gets worse every year. I am returning this for the Lenovo legion pro 7i gen 9, the Lenovo Vantage software blows Armory Crate to hell. Sorry Asus but step up your game, good job on the Zyphyrus G16 2024, but that thing gets so hot, you can fry Bacon and eggs on it I retuned that one also.

The battery will drain even when you turn it off. Lots of stupid tweaks you have to do in order to compensate for how terrible Windows 11. Lots of game crashes too. Do yourself a favor and either get a MacBook or wait for SteamOS platforms. This laptop is not worth the money

Muy buena laptop gamer e probado todos los juegos top del momento y todo corre a muy buenos fps
