    • An investment on future proofing
Style: 18” Nebula HDR | RTX 5090
What a massive powerhouse this G18 is. The price tag might be steep, but it is the best future proofing your money can buy. The display is so crisp and bright, it has no issues with heat, it is a very fast machine, one that also feels durable and built to last. The easy access to M.2 and RAM slots are the chef's kiss. It is a thoroughly impressive machine, one that feels high end. ... show more

    • ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 — Started Amazing, Fell Apart in Hours
Style: 18” Nebula HDR | RTX 5090
I bought the Scar 18 expecting a monster. And at first, that’s exactly what it looked like. The first couple hours were perfect — smooth performance, great FPS, VR running better than I’d ever seen, and flat‑screen games looking incredible. I genuinely thought I finally found the laptop that could handle everything I threw at it. Then, in a matter of hours, it all fell apart. It started with small glitches… A few screen tears here and there. A weird flicker. A gray flash that didn’t make sense. I brushed it off at first — new drivers, new hardware, maybe just early quirks. But it didn’t stop. It got worse. Then came the crashes Games started freezing. VR apps would lock up. Windows itself would hang or stutter. Everything that was smooth earlier suddenly felt unstable. I wasn’t tuning anymore — I was babysitting the system. The anti‑aliasing ghosting wasn’t normal ghosting — it was THREE DESKTOPS This was the moment I realized something was seriously wrong. Moving the mouse or a window left a triple ghost image behind it — three faint copies of the desktop trailing across the screen. Not in a game. Not in VR. In Windows itself. It looked like the entire display pipeline was desyncing. And once that started, it never stopped. VR went from “almost perfect” to “unusable” Every fix made it worse. Every tweak broke something else. Performance dropped, stability tanked, and the whole VR experience collapsed. I wasn’t improving anything — I was fighting the laptop nonstop. Then the problems spread to flat‑screen games Tomb Raider — a game that should run flawlessly on hardware this strong — suddenly had: ghosting tearing unstable frametimes random crashes weird motion artifacts It felt like the system was falling apart piece by piece. The worst part? It happened FAST This wasn’t a slow decline over weeks. It wasn’t a bad update months later. It happened within hours of owning it. One moment it was perfect. The next, it was a mess of tears, gray screens, crashes, ghosting, and instability that spread from VR into Windows and then into every game I tried. Final Verdict The Scar 18 has insane specs, but the experience I had was exhausting. I expected a powerhouse. What I got was a system I had to babysit, troubleshoot, and fight constantly — only to end up getting nowhere. For the price, I expected stability. Instead, I got a laptop that fell apart faster than I could fix it. ... show more

    • Maybe do it.
Style: 18” Nebula HDR | RTX 5090
This is a powerful laptop, no doubt. I loved the way it made my games look for the first week or so. But now I am in a rabbit hole, that I can't find my way out of, and the laptop that I spend SO MUCH money on, is useless to perform the only task I purchased it for. I am unable to game with this laptop, because it randomly crashes and black screens in the middle of online gaming. Gaming is built around progression and statistics. Losing all my long earned inventory, or causing my team to lose because I cannot see, or I crashed, or ruining my stats multiple times a night is the anthesis of a gaming laptop. Its an anti-gaming laptop. Before you purchase this laptop, or any Asus laptop, please do a simple google search "Asus laptop black screen" I have done so much, I have done driver installs, driver cleaning utilities, bios updates, armory crate (asus software) uninstall tool, clean reinstall, and on and on. I have followed step by step guides, Asus forum solutions, AI solutions. Sometimes I can game for an hour and a half straight, sometimes I boot up my computer, and start a game I crash in three minutes. -this is not a thermal issue, I may play for 22 minutes and black screen reboot, and then I may play for 5 minutes black screen, reboot, then I may play for an hour and a half, black screen, reboot. Same game, same resolutions, same settings, same night. When I was considering a gaming laptop for my son, we went with an HP omen, he has had no problems. He games more often than I do, and his PC seems more reliable. Don't know what to say, not trying to be hyper critical, but I am regretting my purchase. I am changing my reveiw. It turns out windows 11 is the culprit. A recent update fixed a couple week clash with nVidia software, and the laptop is functioning well. running some very hi resolutions for long periods of time. ... show more

    • Biggest RTX 5090 scam I've seen in years - pure lottery whether it even works
Style: 18” Nebula HDR | RTX 5090
I've been an ASUS fanboy for 7–8 years straight - ROG laptops, motherboards, GPUs, everything. Never once let me down in gaming or heavy programming workloads. That's why when the 2025 ROG Strix SCAR 18 with RTX 5090 dropped I didn't even hesitate - bought it the second it was available. Four days later I was already losing my mind. Black / gray screen crash in literally every demanding game after 5–40 seconds. I tried everything known to man: • Clean Windows 10 + Windows 11 (every build including latest insider) • Every NVIDIA driver branch from 551.xx to 572.xx (full DDU wipe in safe mode every single time) • BIOS rollback + latest BIOS flash • Every Armoury Crate power profile (Silent → Performance → Turbo → Manual) • iGPU disabled, hybrid mode off, pure dGPU only • Undervolts, overclocks, stock - nothing mattered The ONLY thing that stopped the crashes was installing G-Helper and forcibly capping Core Clock at 1600–1650 MHz in Ultimate mode. After that - no more black screens… but the 5090 was running at roughly 40–55% of its real potential. For 3500–4500+ dollars I basically got a prettied-up 4080/4090-class laptop from two years ago. Turns out this is a massive widespread issue specifically with ASUS RTX 5090 implementations (especially the 175W–200W variants in SCAR 18 and SCAR 16). Huge threads on Reddit, ASUS ROG forums, Discord - tons of people in late 2025–early 2026 reporting exactly the same nightmare. In the end I gave up and returned it. My hardware-nerd friends (guys who daily bench and reverse-engineer this stuff) unanimously told me: "Right now just grab ASUS with 5080 or 5070 Ti - same real-world gaming performance, zero of these insane driver/BIOS lottery problems so far." The laptop itself is gorgeous - screen is insane, keyboard feels premium, speakers are surprisingly good, cooling looks monstrous on paper. But when you're paying flagship money for a silicon & firmware lottery where your 5090 might decide to work at half power or not work at all - that's straight-up unacceptable. Buy this thing only if you're ready to: Spend 2–4 weeks dancing with BIOS, drivers and third-party tools Be mentally prepared for RMA/return Pray that by the time you read this ASUS finally released a proper fix (as of January 6, 2026 - they still haven't) Very sad to write this about ASUS. Hope this review saves at least a couple of people from throwing 4k+ into the trash and months of frustration. ... show more
