ASUSROG Strix Scar 17 (2021) Gaming Laptop, 17.3” 165Hz IPS QHD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 32GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, Opti-Mechanical Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 Pro, G733QS-XS98Q

Regardless of the item delivered being different with the item received, i.e. ordered the 165Hz 1440p variant as per the ad, and received a 360Hz 1080p, I was still pleasantly surprised at how the machine performs.The item is well packed by Amazon and the original manufacture packaging was intact and without any signs of mishandling. The item was delivered extremely early than was expected.The machine itself is packed with the best hardware money can buy at the moment (June 2021), and performance in terms of productivy, and gaming is what you would expect from a beast like this.The only caveat is the lack of a webcam (for windows hello) and of course for general video calls, but those who are in the fence to buy this machine should already know that going in. A webcam can be connected and is easily added to this machine with no issues whatsoever.With this much power on a relatively portable device, you'll probably be hard-pressed to find anything like it.

I've had my laptop since August and figured now would be a good time to review!First off: F*** Scalpers! This laptop is not worth $4000+. I was lucky enough to buy at $3000.Ok so, this machine is a BEAST! Probably one of (if not) THE Best high-end laptops out there. With the option to upgrade RAM To 64 GB and storage to 2 TB, you'd be a fool NOT to unlock this monsters final form! The display looks amazing and the Ryzen 9 5900 series CPU just makes everything so fast!! During gameplay you can push the graphics at their max with little to no issue (though with so much power you'll need to be plugged up and the fans will run pretty loudly). I do suggest getting a laptop stand to keep internal temperatures down.

It is a great notebook, but I do not like noises when concentrated and when using performance or turbo, it is like having a vacuum cleaner running. I did some performance testing and this one shines for trading the stock market. Very fast. ASUS is a very good brand, I have several, like the LG Gram (super light, big screen, super battery), the Dell XPS, Surface, etc. But I am going for the new ASUS that comes out this year

Needed to downgrade from my desktop gaming PC due to school and work. Sold off my gaming desktop and got this. Overall, while it is still taking a little to get use too, this is an amazing system. Runs games like they're nothing. Very quick. Little to no bloatware on arrival. It does run hot but haven't had it hit over 90 degrees with my cooling pad but it is normal for this system. Happy with my choice and look forward to seeing how it holds up the next few years.

I use this laptop for work, while is not the lightest laptop out there it has a feel of good construction and quality while putting it in or taking it out my backpack.I use it for automation and CAD and I think I made a good choice of getting this gaming laptop instead of a mobile workstation, it's plenty powerful and has an Ethernet port, the only downside is that I wish it had an SD card slot, but because of using it for automation I often have to deal with weird memory card formats so I always bring and adapter with me so not much of a problem.
