Review Summary
2025-07-12T20:00:00
I just bought this durring Amazon prime week. My old ASUS ROG strix from 2017 was dying. After a highly demanding architecture master degree and running giantbrendeing files for years. I bought this because it seems to meet the requirements of AutoCAD, Revit, Enscape, Rhino, SketchUp and VRay. So far the screen is just as big as my old 17" laptop (this is a 16"). I'm interested to see how the "secret" number pad on the mouse works. But it's lighter and nicer looking. I haven't gotten to upload everything yet, but it looks good so far.

I've been using this laptop as my daily all in one work/gaming rig. Performs great with everything I throw at it. RGB for those who love the vibes and amazing sound out of the built in speaks. Very well rounded laptop.

I bought it 2 days ago, went shopping for a long time and tried to order on Amazon, but I saw negative reviews there and it put me off, I decided to take it to Best Buy, I am very happy, they brought it 1 day ahead of schedule, the new laptop was delivered in perfect condition

I acquired the product about 20 days ago and without a doubt for university work it is crazy, since it will not present problems, and if we talk about games it is a machine, you can play everything you want at a good fps rate and with some excellent graphics

Very convenient touch screen which so many ways to set up the laptop. I'm currently using it at work for blueprint reading and I'm using it at home for my laser cutting hobbies.

Love this laptop. Great combo of features relative to size. Wish the GPU could receive higher voltage to make the most of the 4090m power present in the larger sized ASUS laptops.

Closest match to purchased laptop. Reviewed laptop model in title. Performance is great when stable. Screen likes to blank out sometimes, mostly when changing from performance to boost. The mode change is triggered when you plug in the power supply. Coil noise can definitely be heard but doesn't bother me much. Runs very cool. For the price I would expect smoother and quicker response times. Not happy with the default ram shipped with unit. At this price point the ram frequency should be higher and the built in camera should be higher resolution. The keyboard picks up oil extremely easy (even with clean hands) and requires regular cleaning. Build materials could be slightly better. Other than that, its pretty solid but only worth it if you have money to throw away. Oh and the keyboard lighting is not consistent. It changes modes and goes out about once every 5 reboots which is way bad. You have to go in and change settings to get it back to what it should be.

I am doing maps and photogrametry for 5 years now and decoded to get this laptop to run my mapping softwares. This softwares are heavy load and process tons of data in a relative short ammount of time. The ROG Strix is working perfectly, no crashes, no interruptions just perfect. Recommended.

I was looking for a gaming laptop with an RTX 3060 or better. For the price, I think it's the best deal I could find and I love it. Games are running with max settings flawlessly. The fans are noisy when they are at full speed but in my opinion it's normal.

This is a year's worth of usage but I have to say, this little ROG laptop was a worthwhile workhorse for gaming and everyday college use! There are two drawbacks, namely the inability to do RAID 0 and the occasional GPU glitch, but all in all, will definitely buy again!

This is my first ASUS and first AMD Ryzen computer -- love this laptop! Quiet, fast, beautiful QHD display. If you're considering a laptop with this kind of horsepower, check out Lisa Gade's spot-on review at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WmaCTwoUlg. I'm a data scientist, not a gamer, but I can tell the NVIDIA 3070 graphics card and 165 Hz/3ms refresh will work great for them.

I've been using this laptop as my daily all in one work/gaming rig. Performs great with everything I throw at it. RGB for those who love the vibes and amazing sound out of the built in speaks. Very well rounded laptop.

Cooling
Cutting-Edge Cooling Boosts Performance
Game in stealth with quieter, more effective cooling. Liquid metal compound on the CPU improves heat transfer for easier dissipation. Upgraded fans boast 84 blades apiece, each reshaped to push more air with less noise and turbulence. Air flows through four heatsinks and fan outlets to rapidly expel heat. You can customize system settings on a per-app basis, so cooling and acoustics are optimized automatically for the task. All these improvements allow ROG Boost to overclock the GPU in Turbo mode, and they open up extra thermal headroom to pursue even higher GPU clocks and also overclock the CPU.

Liquid metal
Liquid metal compound from Thermal Grizzly reduces CPU temperatures by up to 16 Degree C compared to standard thermal paste. Painting it onto CPUs is delicate work typically done by hand, but ROG commissioned custom equipment to automate the process with mechanical precision, and designed a patented internal fence to contain the compound. ASUS has updated the patented process for AMD CPUs, adding a special step to protect surface-mounted components on the processor package.
3D Flow Zone
Ample airflow is a fundamental aspect of effective cooling. To amp up cool air intake, the hinges on the Strix SCAR are shifted forward in front of a heavily ventilated 3D Flow Zone. A trapezoidal cut carves out space below the screen to ensure that the venting is unobstructed, while giving the laptop its signature asymmetrical style.
New Arc Flow fans
New Arc Flow fans are designed to maximize airflow and keep noise levels low. Each one features 84 blades that vary in thickness from base to tip to maximize airflow, and the blades are capped by a special aerodynamic wave pattern that minimizes turbulence and noise. The fans are crafted from a liquid-crystal polymer that's strong enough to maintain its shape while spinning at high RPMs, even with blades slimming down to just 0.1 mm. Despite making less noise than the previous generation, they help increase airflow by up to 35% for the CPU and 21% for the GPU.
