  • Impressive laptop with lot's of power
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H RAM Size: 16 GB Hard Disk Size: 1 TB Graphics Description: GeForce RTX 3070 Style: 15.6" 165Hz QHD
First the current price of $2499 is a bit disappointing. I did not pay $2499 nor would I. I get the current hardware crisis, but still sad to see, maybe unavoidable, I guess. Pros: -The 5800H+3070 is a great combo. -Nvidia 3070 hits the advertised 115w usage in all games and will hover around 125-130 in most titles. Incredibly good GPU for 1440p. Temps (custom fan curve) never exceed 85c even in games like Cypberpunk. Coming from a 2070-maxq I see about a 18 to 22 fps difference at 1080p, and at 1440p the framerate is the equivalent to 1080p at max settings. ex: Shadow Of The Tomb Raider (dlss+RT med): 2070mq 1080p 71fps, 3070 1080p 93 fps, 3070 1440p 73 fps. Good performer all around. -The Ryzen 5800H is immensely powerful and can handle any task. It is a great fit for the 3070. The chip runs hot so a custom fan profile is needed to keep it within 42c-55c. The 5800H is power efficient and works great on battery. 8C/16T should perform well for years to come. -Thermals- Good overall, custom profiles are needed for the fans to hit maximum RPM. The turbo and performance take too long to hit full stride. The silent profile is great for just browsing and keeps reasonable temps. The fan’s do get extremely loud but never drown out the speakers. The fans become noticeable around 3000rpm. I use headphones for gaming anyway. -Mechanical keyboard. It’s excellent. The keyboard is great to touch, keys are responsive and have good depth. It’s loud and clickly, I love it; to each his own lol. The RGB is fully customizable, and Asus provides great software to create your own look. It is fun to type on, no complaints. The screen. It is almost perfect, just a smidge of led glow on the bottom left-hand corner, not distracting at all. Zero dead pixels. The brightness is great for indoors, might have to turn it down a little in dark rooms, sufficient for outdoors. The colors are accurate, and Asus armory crate provides some useful profiles and customizations (game visuals). I lucked with my screen, feels good to win the panel lottery. -Speaker. The speakers sound amazing. I also own a Googlebook Pixel Go and the speakers are better than the vast majority of premium laptops, that is until I tried the Scar 15. The speakers get very loud, lots of detail and bass, very little distortion at high volumes. I would recommend using Dolby Atmos software (Windows store $14) or Equalizer APO (free) to bring out the most in the sound. -Trackpad. Not much to say as I use a mouse. It’s responsive and the ability to switch between numlk and trackpad is useful. -I/O. I like the fact that the right side of the laptop is clean, nothing more annoying than having the headphone jack and power on the right side. Cons: -I/O. I think one more USB 3.2 port would have been nice. -No Thunderbolt, this is Ryzen so understandable -No webcam. Can’t really defend this. Even a 720p webcam would have been okay. -No card reader, minor inconvenience. -The power brick cord could be longer. I use a laptop stand and move my laptop around a lot. -The power brick does indeed get very hot as per other reviews. If you have carpet use a cellphone stand or cradle. It is never good to put power bricks on carpet, anyway, added heat transfer. Consultation: The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2021) is a great price to performance laptop. It features amazing gaming performance and is a good daily driver. The screen, keyboard and speakers set for the standard for what a quality laptop should be. It’s portable if you need it to be and the aesthetics are great, you don’t get a Scar to be conservative. I’m very pleased with this purchase and feel extremely lucky to have a fully functional, near flawless unit. I would say get this at MSRP (not sure if $2499 is the new MSRP due to global shortages) but overall, the ticks all of the boxes in terms of be a powerful gaming laptop. ... show more

  • God-tier laptop in a 15" chasis
I have been actively looking for a replacement laptop for my Dell XPS15 for a few months now. I'm happy to say that my search has finally come to an end with this laptop, it is a game changer! I do love my Dell for the asthetics and build quality but, it was lacking raw gaming power; enter the Asus Rog Strix Scar-15. I've been through 7 different laptops since January 2021, trying to find the right fit and some of those laptops were even from Asus' own line. MSIs new lineup has yet to utilize a 1440p monitor which would end up with a performance left on the table due to bottlenecks and thinner laptops like the Zephyrus G15 are definitely tempting but, they have setbacks like soldered RAM and throttled down performance specs just to make a few examples. The design and engineering of the Scar-15 is sleek and efficient, the lighting is nothing short of superb and the 1440p 165hz panel refresh rate paired with the industries top of the line hardware (Ryzen 9 5900HX + Nvidia RTX 3080) is nothing short of God-tier mobile gaming performance. Almost everything underneath the bottom lid is customizable and upgradeable with two dims for RAM, two for SSDs, and a removable wifi 6 card! I can throw whatever I want at this thing and have already done so by throwing in an additional stick of memory for all those extra games I plan on having with me on my travels. The cooling fans are a bit on the loud side but, they also cool extremely well. There is NO MUX switch on this laptop or even a camera HOWEVER, if you're gaming at the native 1440p resolution, in my opinion, a MUX switch isn't even relevant to you as the GPU will be taking up much of the work as opposed to the CPU. I personally don't mind the lack of a webcam as I can easily use my phone or buy an external camera but, I can see how this would be a deal breaker for some. The music paired with DOLBY Atmos is just as good if not better than that if my Dell's and the Zephyrus G15 when compared side by side. In all, this laptop is for those who want quality paired with high performance. With the price tag of $2,699.99 - you get what you pay for with this one. There is another version of this laptop on Amazon that retails for $1,999.99 that comes with an RTX 3070 and the Ryzen 7 5800H... I had it compared that with this one side by side as well. I ultimately still, even despite the huge price difference, went with the higher performing 3080 model as the 5900HX has overclocking capabilities that the 5800H does not. Differences in performance were about 7-10% frame rate on average so nothing cosmic. I hope this was helpful to any looking for portability, raw power, quality and an overall amazing experience! ... show more

  • Great performance laptop, exceeded expectations.
Performed flawlessly out of the box. All of my uses with it so far have been easily handled by the processor, ram and gpu. Which includes browsing, watching movies and gaming on max settings (FFXIV, Lost Ark, Monster Hunter Rise, New World, Destiny 2 etc) all without much impact on the system. It gets a little hot during long sessions on some of the more demanding games but nothing extreme and with the cooling system it cools off impressively fast. Things of note. Be mindful when doing updates. Ran into a few snags where some things wouldn't work properly by getting the recommended updates from each app (MyAsus, Armory Crate, Windows Update, AMD (Redeon/Adrenalin Edition - Adrenalin edition seems to work better tho it comes with Radeon pre-installed which was causing issues with with a windows update or vice versa). After getting it sorted it all works fine. My one Con would be no MUX switch but I have bypassed that by using my TV (Samsung not even HDMI 2.1) as a monitor via a USB C to HDMI as a display port. Getting 1440p at 120hz or 4k at 60hz. Also with HDR capabilites tho on windows 11 pro (I opted for free the upgrade) that seems to be buggy. Nothing to do with the computer itself afaik just windows implementation of it. It does work tho, just be sure to get the cords with the right specifications if you want all the bells and whistles your TV or Monitor will support. This review is for the Strix Scar 15 Ryzen 9 5900hx, RTX 3080 16gb, 32gb ram, 1tb nvme model. ... show more
