Great Gaming laptop!

Bought this for the kid, and was hoping it was powerful enough for PCVR games and, wow, I can play most VR games on ULTRA. Granted, it sounds like a Dyson Vacuum while overclocking like that but, so far, it's been super reliable, and the kid loves it. I was so thrilled with the purchase, I'm building my own PC with 80%+ Asus ROG Strix components!

WOOOOOW

This laptop was perfect for me and may be perfect for you too. I am an engineering student who needs a laptop that can run CPU/GPU intensive software and also be able to game in my free time. Here are the best features of this laptop: 120hz refresh rate panel. If you don't know what this is or are coming from 60hz or less, you'll be in for a pleasant surprise when you first boot up this laptop. Everything will feel so smooth on your eyes.

I've never really had a computer like this, and while I don't really game, this computer is smooth and stylish. The keyboard settings are awesome, and the settings on the computer are clear and unique. Definetly would recommend to others.

2nd Asus gaming laptop

I'm not a big big fan of the camo texture, since it look like dusty from far away, even if I'm an FPS gamer. Pros : - Comfy to work on - Good spec - VR Ready - Slim and not too heavy to hold compare to the old Asus gaming laptop - Battery doesn't heat up too too bad compare to the old Asus gaming laptop Cons : - I don't notice it, but people around me say is a bit loud. - Webcam on the bottom + quality isn't that great - I have some RGB flicker bottom leds of my Laptop - Price drop down in a year due to the RTX, you can get a better laptop or desktop now.

Great overall but certain aspects need upgrading

I bought this nearly a full year ago, so plenty of time to try it out. Here are my thoughts on the product: Overall, nearly everything about the laptop is perfect. I appreciate the thin bezels, fans are good, CPU and GPU perform well and it looks very slick. Battery life is pretty darn good considering this thing has a 2060 in it (same idea for the 2070 model). Small things such as the mic and webcam are good as well and there is generally great ease of use. The certain things I didn't quite like were the webcam placement, specific parts of the RGB on the keyboard and certain features concerning "Aura" in the Armoury Crate. First of all, the webcam is at an awkward spot in the bottom right of the laptop's "top side". When you use it the camera sees up your nostrils and no matter the angle it won't be perfect unless you are 2'1 (0.6349m) and are on the far right side of the laptop. As for the Keyboard, the keyboard itself is great but the bottom part of the LED strip facing you on the space key died after about 3-7 days after I received it. I read about it online and other have reported that they never had it light up. Besides being a bit annoying, it doesn't do much, so it's not as important compared to the rest. Finally, the Aura section of the Armoury Crate has been working very strangely since about 5 months ago. Before that, I had no problem changing through the keyboard RGB styles and brightness with either the keyboard shortcuts or the AC, but there was an update around 5 months ago (around the time they introduced the "Starry Night" style), where directly trying to change the RGB or styles wouldn't work. When multiple kinds of rainbow were introduced to the AC, they also would not change. Not sure why this is an issue. In Conclusion, the GL704GV is a great laptop for gaming and work, has a wonderful design, and is just a joy to use. I would have given the product a 5 star if it wasn't for the bad qualities, but in the end, the good outweighs the bad.

Great laptop, perfect for gaming just 1 flaw

I bought this laptop right after deployment about 2 months ago. The packaging was awesome, the laptop looks and feels great, the graphics look amazing, but there was one flaw. The only problem I’ve had with the ROG Strix Scar 2 is the track pad. It has a delay or at times won’t register the movements, or it freezers all together. Ive tried getting it resolved through Best Buy where I bought it but they offered no help. Besides that the laptop is amazing, perfect for gaming, homework and movies. The fan volume when playing high resolution games like red dead aren’t bad, not to loud and this laptop handles really good.

Hyperfan, Front Light Bar, and Camo Marks

I bought the GL704GM(17inch) a couple months ago, the design is amazing. I liked how slick the lid is, the camo that follows the same design on the lid over the keyboard. The nice front light bar is cool as well. I really like the use of Armoury Crate and how easy it is to access with its own key, as well as the hyperfan feature. Every game I've played runs smoothly. One thing that took awhile getting used to was how the fan blows out on the right side, so it warms your hand. At first it was obnoxious, but now it's actually pretty nice.

ROG Strix SCAR II sharpens your PC gaming experience, starting with the display. Its 144Hz narrow-bezel display with an ultrafast 3ms gray-to-gray (GTG) response time is in a league of its own. An 8th-Gen Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 graphics deliver triple-digit frame rates in popular esports FPS titles and carefully tuned cooling keeps these crucial components running at top speed. We've elevated other aspects of the experience by enhancing the keyboard, upgrading the lighting, reducing the size of the power brick and even speeding up the Wi-Fi to deliver a perfectly balanced portable gaming experience.

A True Ultra-Narrow Bezel Without Compromises
Despite packing a 15.6" display, the SCAR II is nearly an inch narrower than its predecessor, making it easier to slip in your bag. ROG has carefully engineered the display for maximum performance in a minimal frame. This ROG-exclusive IPS-type panel design combines a blazing 144Hz refresh rate with a quick 3ms response time. The higher refresh rate enables a true 144-FPS experience with minimal input lag, while the faster response reduces ghosting and blurring to produce a clearer picture.

Full-System ASUS AURA RGB Lighting
Dim the lights and watch AURA RGB lighting take center stage. We've amped up the RGB illumination even more with an additional light bar on the front edge and a more imposing ROG logo on the lid. Support for Aura Sync allows you to coordinate colors and effects across the laptop and compatible peripherals. Four fully translucent WASD keycaps make it easier to anchor your hand placement for FPS games through your peripheral vision, so you don't need to look down at your keyboard.

The GL504's integrated 802.11ac Wi-Fi is based on Intel's latest Wave 2 solution, which is capable of greater than Gigabit speeds. The wireless card is hooked up to four antennas, a first for laptops. Our RangeBoost technology monitors these antennas to determine which ones have the best signal and then switches automatically to ensure that you're using the best pair for the conditions.

With ultra-fast access times and blistering transfer rates, the SCAR II's ROG HyperDrive PCIe x2 M.2 solid state drive loads games, apps and other data at warp speeds. This cutting-edge NVMe drive boasts sequential read speeds of up to 3288 MB/s. For more than a decade, ROG has channeled its passion for gaming into building innovative products and working closely with esports teams to ensure they have the right tools to pursue victory.

Gaming Optimized Keyboard Layout
The desktop-inspired layout features a large space bar that's easier to hit and 4 additional hotkeys for system controls.

Durable and Responsive Keys
ROG Overstroke technology and 1.8mm key travel improve responsiveness, while 20-million keystroke durability extends longevity
