ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 15/17
The brand-new ROG Strix SCAR is designed with esports enthusiasts in mind, powered by top-tier components, Windows 11 Pro, a high-refresh display, and ROG Intelligent Cooling with Liquid Metal Conductonaut Extreme.
The laptop sports a 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i9-12900H processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU at 150W with Dynamic Boost, the Strix SCAR is designed for high-refresh gaming. A MUX Switch ensures top-tier GPU performance, PCIe® 4.0 x4 storage boosts lightning-fast load times, and DDR5 4800MHz RAM provides plenty of memory for multitasking.
The Strix SCAR is available in 15-inch and 17-inch models, with the 15-inch offering three IPS-level display choices: QHD 240Hz, Full HD 300Hz, and QHD 165Hz. The 17-inch SCAR offers QHD 240Hz or Full HD 360Hz.
The Strix SCAR models all support Dolby Vision® HDR for full-spectrum visuals, together with Adaptive-Sync in the display, delivering stunning picture quality without tearing or stuttering. A 3ms response time assures clear movement so gamers can make pixel-perfect decisions in frenetic firefights.
A larger trackpad ensures fine-grained control over precision movements when not using a traditional mouse. Sporty dot-matrix styling, Aura Sync-compatible per-key RGB lighting on the keyboard and lightbar, and customizable armour caps ensure gamers can flex their own personal style.
ASUS ROG Strix G15/G17
The new ROG Strix G15 and G17 are powered by up to an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti laptop GPU at 150W with Dynamic Boost for similarly high-end horsepower.
The G15 offers Full HD 300Hz and QHD 165Hz display options, while the G17 offers Full HD 360Hz and QHD 240hz for competitive gaming. All of the Strix G models support Dolby Vision® and come with 3ms response times, and Adaptive-Sync. The Strix G also comes in Eclipse Gray as well as two neon colour choices, Volt Green and Electro Punk, which will stand out from the crowd.
All Strix models are equipped with a quad-speaker design and Dolby Atmos® spatial sound, which brings soundstages to life with immersive, crystal-clear, and lifelike realism in the heat of battle. Two-way AI Noise Cancelation filters out background noise for both ingoing and outgoing communications, so everyone’s voice comes through loud and clear.
In addition, Strix models come with a 90Wh battery, plus 100W Type-C charging for on-the-go usage. WiFi 6E and 2.5G LAN provide cutting-edge networking for minimal lag on both wired and compatible wireless networks.
