ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 Gaming Laptop, 15.6” 240Hz IPS QHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, Intel Core i9 12900H, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD, Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 11 Home, G533ZW-AS94Q

Bought the SCAR for my Son (August 2022) to replace his gaming needs while in college. Easy setup and upgrades for RAM and HDD. Ripped one of the RGB cables when we opened the bottom cover but was able to fix it (like they knew this would be an issue). Used Crucial website to verify compatibility. Battery does beat his school laptop (Dell E-series). He plays Dauntless, POE, WWZ, M/craft w/ mods, and has a pretty lengthy Steam catalogue of AAA titles. He prefers this laptop over his Dell because it can handle everything at once w/ dual monitors (he can game and work on a powerpoint and watch YouTube at the same time probably).

After 5 months the laptop keyboard lights up, but no screen or boot attempt. Just hear fans cycling and the keyboard is just red. Id expect a laptop like this to last a few years before having problems. Never moved from my desk since opening it. Vastly disappointed.

Esta laptop tiene varios problemas, para empezar no tiene teclado numérico y en este modelo en específico el touchpad no sirve como numérico (la foto de amazon es completamente engañosa), además tiene un coil whine terrible, básicamente cuando los ventiladores están bajos suena un sonido eléctrico bastante agudo, normalmente en otras laptops solo se escucharía pegando el oído y poniendo extrema atención, en este caso es audible todo el tiempo y muy molesto, y eso que dice la laptop que 0db cooling para tareas sencillas no es cierto, todo el tiempo funcionan las ventiladores,además la laptop tiene problemas que podrían o no resolverse por actualizaciones de bios, si cierras la tapa tiene problemas al entrar en standby y sigue activa y cuando la vuelves a abrir puede estar muy caliente, además la iluminación del teclado se muere de repente por un problema del firmware y deja de funcionar completamente hasta que entras en el panel de Asus y cambias el efecto para reiniciar el servicio de la iluminación.

Ive recently been turned on to ASUS more, and have not really been disappointed. I converted all my wifi networks from eero to ASUS Rog/Zen devices, and have not looked back. As a result, when I had the opportunity to try out the Strix G16, I had to.

It’s an alright laptop, I was able to do use it for school. But all of a sudden the screen decided to stop working and everytime I turn it on, the keyboard just lights up and turns right back off again. It seems like other people had a similar problem so it’s not just me. Please find a way to fix this or help in any way.

Coming from a desktop rig I built in 2019 (ryzen 7 3700x, rtx 2070 super, 32gb ram) this thing annihilates it in gaming. Some initial thoughts after playing with it for a few hours tonight:

Works great! I am very happy with its performance so far. Finally being able to play God of War and Cyberpunk on high or even ultra is nice.

Excelente para los juegos

The laptop overall has a very good build quality, I like it very much! The software are well written to change all the settings. Only the battery life is poor.

Good laptop
