The Best gaming console Asus ROG Strix Scar 17

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 is a best with both aesthetic appeal and the performance to back up.

Asus ROG Strix has a Special Edition version of the laptop, which comes with the promise of delivering peak performance, along with a special aesthetic appeal in the Strix series. We reviewed the Asus Strix Scar 17 earlier this year which was a fantastic gaming powerhouse.

Specifications

Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 SE specs:  Intel Core i9 12950HX | Nvidia RTX  Ti | 17.3-inch QHD 250Hz display | 2TB SSD storage PCIe 4th Gen, 32GB DDR5 RAM |  Windows 11 | 90Wh battery

Build & Design,

In the design we see a new paint job on the aluminium lid, complete with invisible ink. This will glow in a corner to show a unique pattern under UV light. You still get the RGB ROG logo on the right half of the lid and yes, the black lid still attracts a lot of finger smudges, so keeping the laptop clean will be a task. You get the replaceable ROG staples below the lid and the brand will include two spare ones, one black, and one grey in the package so you always have one to snap on.

Vanilla Strix Scar 17 comes with a metal body, the ports going on the back and plenty of ventilation and RGB, including the strip running below the keyboard which gives the laptop a cool glow when placed on a desk.

Performance / Display

The performance of the Intel Core i9 12950HX-powered laptop was also great with pretty much every game I tried. Together with the capable GPU, this is a machine eSports players and casual gamers alike can set up anywhere on the go and enjoy. Playing PUBG at high framerates is enjoyable on the laptop. This is the best gaming console laptop.

 

However, there isn’t a lot of immediate difference noticeable in day-to-day performance when the Special Edition is up against the vanilla ROG Strix Scar 17 2022 and only under extreme conditions will you be able to spot the performance perks of the 12950HX over the 12900H that powers the vanilla edition. The GPU difference, on the other hand, is noticeable and the 3080 Ti on the new version is simply a notch above the already capable 3070 Ti.

Accessories

The laptop still features the signature Armoury Crate software which you can use to customise everything from the performance modes to RGB preferences and more. Like the vanilla Strix Scar 17, you still get the ROG Keystone support, which lets you carry your settings to another Keystone-compatible ROG laptop, in addition to carrying a secret drive for storage.

Keyboard

There’s also per-key RGB lighting that you can customise as per your liking. You get the same keyboard and trackpad with the Special Edition and that’s a good thing because the Strix Scar 17 2022 had an excellent keyboard. It comes with very responsive keys with a good amount of travel for you to also somewhat enjoy typing on this keyboard.

We also get the diagonal separation between the opaque and transparent parts of the keyboard, which gives it a nice look, really setting apart the laptop from other gaming machines when opening on a desk. The trackpad is also the same large trackpad, which comes with seamless buttons, ideal for running mouse-intensive programs, although you’ll still want a dedicated mouse for most games.

Battery

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 Special Edition comes with 6 hours off the laptop when using it for light gaming or other tasks, but the machine was plugged in for the heavier gaming sessions.
