ROG Stryx Scar Edition GL703GM

I have had my ROG STryx Scar Edition GL703GM laptop for about eight years and it has performed superbly during this time. I upgraded the wifi card from the AC9560 to the BE 1750 wireless card and upgraded to the WD SN850X nvme drive which has made my laptop extremely fast in comparison. But most importantly is the quality of my Asus ROG Stryx Scar Edition GL703GM. I can always count on Asus to deliver a quality solid product and high quality Asus motherboards in all my family's desktops.

Kinda disappointed

The audio on this laptop is absolutely horrible. I would not recommend it if you plan to record any videos, get on a virtual meeting etc.

Best laptop purchase I've made

I bought this like 6 months ago or something and this has been the best laptop I've ever used. I'm looking into a desktop but I'm still going to stick with ASUS and probably the ROG line. I suggest this laptop for anyone who needs something easy to use and set up. I love how it has another RAM slot. I'm still working on upgrading mine to 32 Gigabytes.

Decent Laptop for Esports Titles

I bought this laptop 6 months ago and it runs esports titles fairly well on max settings. The CPU does tend to get a bit hot though. I would say it is on the heavy side so I wouldn't recommend keeping it in your backpack. Other than a poor fan in my specific laptop, I would say that the laptop is relatively quiet.

best cheap laptop for gaming or potable workstaion

i bought this a week ago and it is the best laptop ive ever had. it can get above 50fps in just cause 4 most of the time, and its above 60fps in minecraft. the ssd is pretty fast and the hard drive is good for games. it remains under 65 c, even under full load, but it does get a little loud with out headphones but there is no whine just the sound of the air blowing.

The 8th-Gen ROG Strix Scar Edition Absolute Precision
The new ROG Strix Scar Edition is built for the next generation of gamers looking to take their game to the next level. It's built for high frame rates in first person shooter games, thanks to a powerful Intel Core i7 processor, GTX graphics and a high refresh rate gaming display. The 8th-Generation Scar Edition brings several refinements to the series, including: an AURA SYNC RGB keyboard and 12V fans for improved thermal performance.

High Refresh Rate Gaming Display Built for smoother gameplay
A hallmark of the Strix Scar Edition Series is its high refresh rate displays (120Hz). Higher refresh rate displays deliver a multitude more frames within the same amount of time compared to standard 60Hz displays. For many gamers, the difference of going from 60Hz to 120Hz is far more impactful than switching to a higher screen resolution. High refresh rates result in smoother playback, allowing you to gain a competitive advantage in fast-paced FPS games.

8th-Generation Intel Core Processors
Enjoy a vast leap in gaming and productivity performance with Intel's first mobile Core i7 processor with 6 cores and 12 threads. This gives you a boost in performance over previous generation quad-core processors by 23%.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series
The latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 10-Series graphics architecture offers the highest possible gaming performance, new gaming technologies and unmatched VR experiences.

How Anti-Dust Cooling Technology Works
An exclusive design forces dust and debris to exit the chassis through the fan module's two anti-dust tunnels. This prevents the thermal fins from becoming caked in grime. Compared to regular 5V fans, two powerful 12V fans have up to 20% higher fan speeds and deliver up to 42.5% more airflow.

Gaming-Grade RGB Keyboard
Ergonomic and Durable
The Strix SCAR Edition's ergonomic gaming keyboard is built to withstand the action, with 20-million keystroke durability and N-Key Rollover. Its 1.88mm (0.07") key travel distance provides a tactile feeling for precise control.

AURA SYNC RGB-Enabled
Customize the SCAR Edition's RGB keyboard with 4 zones of lighting control and choose from different lighting patterns. Synchronize lighting effects with other ASUS AURA SYNC enabled peripherals.

Quality-of-life Features for Gamers
DDR4 2666MHz. Upgradeable
ROG Strix laptops are equipped with the latest DDR4 memory that's clocked at a blazing-fast 2666MHz. Access M.2 and DIMM slots for upgradeability.

All the ports that you need
Featuring the latest connectivity, including mini DisplayPort, HDMI 1.4 and USB 3.1 Type C.

Gigabit Wave 2 802.11ac Wi-Fi
The next generation of Wi-Fi is here. Intel Wireless-AC 9260 is the first Intel Wi-Fi module that provides Gigabit Wi-Fi speeds up to 1.7Gbps.

Incredible On-board Speakers
Stereo speakers with Smart Amp technology optimize audio performance to deliver audio up to 200% louder than before, with increased dynamic range.
