Review Summary
2025-05-22T20:00:00
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.

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.
