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

I bought this computer to use for graphic related processing. I have used it less than 10 times while still using my old computer and planned on implementing when I upgraded my computer area. I occasionally surfed the web and downloaded a few 3d related programs and went to start it one day and it came up with a black screen saying Please follow the steps below to recover your BIOS

This laptop gets hot quick when gaming, even after I bought a cooling pad, even had to get a new keyboard because playing on a hot keyboard got old quick, wish it had more fans and wish the fans were more powerful, other than that tho this laptop is pretty good, would recommend upgrading ram for it, slapped in some 32 gbs for this thing and works great now, good purchase over all

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).

Excelente

I am pretty blown away by his laptop. I had been using a Dell Inspiron 5755 (12 GB RAM) for years as my work computer, and this is a huge step up. I wish the screen was larger (15.1), but other than that. It is amazing. With 16 GB RAM it exceeds anything I need, and I imagine this would be a dream for a gamer, especially a teen, who would appreciate the lights on the keyboard more than I do. Easy set up. It is, also, surprisingly quiet. It is a bit pricey, but the performance is top notch so far.

I got the ASUS gaming laptop for my young son who likes playing various games like Roblox, Fortnite, and Mine craft, etc. I figured it also would be useful for him to have as a backup for working on school projects and other research since he could take it with him wherever he goes.

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:

La neta, está súper, está por encima de mis espectativas, excelente computadora

Excellent for gaming.

Summary: My current desktop is an older Dell XPS 8920 from 2017, which has a i7-7700 processor.  Its still decently fast running Windows 10 Home.  I havent had a dedicated gaming machine before, so I am very sure that this i9-12900 with the GeForce RTX 3070 Ti card is going to be insanely fast!  The last laptop we bought was a 13-inch MacBook back in August 2020.
