New model of old computer I loved

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.

The best in the price/quality category

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

Great for demanding tasks and gaming power

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

Awesome 2 in one laptop

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.

Perfect Combo of Performance and Protability

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.

Powerful machine

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.

Portability, upgradability, reliability!

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.

Power through any game or project with an Intel Core i9-12900H CPU, with a hybrid architecture built from the ground up for Windows 11 Home. With up to 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, AAA gaming and streaming is effortless.

Blazing Fast DDR5 Memory
Leveraging the brand new DDR5 standard, enjoy a huge generational performance jump to 4800MHz, with write times 50% faster than DDR4 equipped machines. This ultra fast memory makes all aspects of the laptop feel snappy, from intense gaming to light web browsing.

Better. Faster. Stronger
Take on even the largest projects with confidence and a PCIe Gen4 SSD. With raw throughput up to 7000MB/s, massive files and large games will load in the blink of an eye.

Get more with MUX
Top-tier components require power, especially when it comes to cutting-edge GPUs. Higher power limits unlock even more performance from these graphics cards, ensuring you have the absolute best gaming experience.

Modern gaming laptops route frames from the GPU through the CPU's integrated graphics before reaching the display. This offers better battery life, but prevents your GPU from giving its absolute best performance. So we're bringing a MUX switch to all 2022 ROG laptops. For competitive games, you can switch to a direct GPU mode that reduces latency and boosts performance by an average of 15%.

GeForce RTX The Ultimate Play

Boost Performance with AI
NVIDIA DLSS gives games a speed boost with uncompromised image quality. Crank up the settings and resolution for an even better visual experience.

More Immersive Experiences
Ray Tracing is the holy grail of graphics. It simulates how light behaves in the real-world to produce the most realistic and immersive graphics for gamers and creators - and runs fast thanks to 2nd gen RT Cores.

Optimized Power And Performance
NVIDIA Max-Q is a suite of technologies powered by AI that optimize laptops to deliver high performance in thin form factors.

ROG Intelligent Cooling
Powerful components require a robust cooling solution. The SCAR utilizes liquid metal thermal compound on the CPU and four dedicated fan outlets to efficiently transfer heat out of the system. ROG Intelligent Cooling allows critical components like the CPU and GPU to maintain higher boost frequencies for longer periods of time, keeping your framerate smooth and steady even during extended gaming sessions. The 2022 Strix SCAR also upgraded to Thermal Grizzly's Conductonaut Extreme Liquid Metal on the CPU. An ultra-high performance thermal interface material, Conductonaut Extreme can keep these components up to 15 Degree C cooler than traditional thermal pastes. The SCAR keeps noise in check, too: when in Performance mode, the Strix SCAR does not exceed 40 dB of noise.

Liquid Metal Conductonaut Extreme
• Up To 15 Degree C Cooler CPU
• Under 40 Db In Performance Mode
• 4 Fan Outlet
• Arc Flow Fans 84 Curve Blade

Liquid Metal with Conductonaut Extreme
Cooling is one of the greatest challenges facing gaming laptops, and ROG is constantly pushing the envelope. This drive led to liquid metals, which are extremely effective at transferring thermal energy between surfaces like a processor die and heatsink. Over a year of testing with various processors, ROG engineers observed reductions in temperatures up to 15 Degree C with liquid metal, depending on the CPU. Lower temperatures help processors sustain higher clock speeds for longer and prevent fans from ramping up and making noise.

Upgraded Arc Flow Fans
Updated Arc Flow Fans feature curved blades specially shaped to maximize airflow with minimal noise. Laptop fan blades are typically the same thickness throughout, but our new design can get as thin as 0.1mm at the base before expanding toward the tip. Varying the thickness reduces turbulence as the fan blades accelerate air with centrifugal force, giving you a quieter overall experience.

0.1mm ultra thin fin
Thermal energy is dissipated by four heatsinks, each lined with ultrathin copper fins as slim as 0.1mm. These fins are half the size of typical solutions, allowing for higher density for heat dissipation and lower air resistance to allow for smoother flow. There are up to 218 heatsink fins totaling 107,131mm of surface area.

Anti-Dust Tunnels
Our upgraded thermal module design features shorter anti-dust tunnels that leave up to 5% more space around the fan, improving airflow by up to 15%. Preventing the buildup of dust ensures the long-term stability and reliability of your system.

3D Flow Zone gives access to fresh air
Ample airflow is a fundamental aspect of effective cooling. To amp up cool air intake for the Strix SCAR, its hinges are shifted forward in front of a heavily ventilated 3D Flow Zone. A trapezoidal cut carves out the bottom of the screen to ensure that the venting below is unobstructed, while giving the laptop its signature asymmetrical style.

CoolZone keyboard keeps you frosty
Extended gaming sessions can heat up internal components and make the keyboard above warm to the touch. To keep your fingers cool, small vents around the WASD keys let the fans draw cool air into the chassis from above.

Up to 6 comprehensive heatpipes have you covered
The comprehensive thermal design includes an extended heat spreader that absorbs heat from the CPU, GPU, VRAM, and VRM. It combines with up to 6 heat pipes that cover the same components. This extensive thermal coverage helps sustain and extend the overall performance, reliability, and lifespan of the system.

Scenario Profiles
Our Silent, Performance, and Turbo modes are just the beginning. Scenario Profiles allow your system to automatically switch between them based on the application you're running, alongside other vital system settings. Switch between lighting configurations automatically, disable the Windows key and touchpad during games, and automate to your heart's content. Armoury Crate makes adjustments in an instant to best fit the task at hand.

Design

Customize Your Look
Customizable Armor Caps allow you to add extra flair to your machine. Choose from three bundled options in the box, or 3D your own with downloadable templates for a 100% unique design. The semi-translucent palm rest gives you a sneak peek at the internals, and redesigned rubber feet help to eliminate vibrations for smooth, quiet gaming sessions. Coupled with colorful accents, the sporty feel of the Strix SCAR resonates across the entire chassis.

Change Up Your Look
Add a pop of personality to your chassis with Customizable Armor Caps. Two additional color options come in the box and swap out effortlessly, letting you switch up your style anytime. For a fully customized touch, we also have a 3D printing template that.

Stun at Every Angle
Thoughtful details set this laptop apart from the competition. Our 360 Degree design philosophy puts subtle but distinctive elements across every part of the machine. The dot matrix design splashed across the lid cuts down to meet cross-hatched vents beneath the base. An expansive rubberized grip holds the laptop firmly in place and makes it easier to carry. Typographic elements around the trim subtly show off your ROG pride.

Upgraded Underglow
Game in a customized glow with clean RGB lighting. The wraparound light bar has a higher LED density to evenly illuminate the three front edges of the chassis, while additional LEDs beneath the display add a diffused glow on deck. Coordinate illumination across your entire suite of compatible Aura Sync peripherals to set the mood for competitive play.

Soft-Touch Surface
Soft-touch paint slashed across the most commonly used parts of the keyboard and palm rest minimizes smudges and fingerprints to stay clean and stylish through the day. It adds a matte finish to the resilient plastic deck that keeps surface temperatures cooler and more comfortable to the touch than metal over extended play sessions.
