We have often mentioned the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 in our coverage a boatload of times, as it features an RTX 3080 GPU and comes at an attractive $1,649.99 price at the time of writing. However, what if we told you that there was something even better and belongs to the same company? Presenting the ROG Strix Scar 15, which is available for $1,699.99 on Amazon, features the same GPU, but it is running at a higher power limit.
The RTX 3080 running in this gaming laptop has a power limit that goes up to 130W, giving you significantly more performance in games. The Strix Scar 15 is also slightly thicker, which is necessary when you want to cool such powerful components. This gaming laptop touts a durable chassis that includes a combination of metal and plastic, but customers need to know that it lacks a webcam, so make your purchasing decision accordingly.
The RTX 3080 GPU features 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM and is supplemented by an 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU, along with 16GB of DDR4 RAM and 1TB SSD. The display has a 1080p resolution and supports a refresh rate up to 300Hz. You will be pleased to hear that both the storage and RAM can be upgraded in the future.
The gaming laptop runs Windows 11 right off the bat, and its generous 90WHr battery will last you for several hours, as the Strix Scar 15 features an AMD CPU. If you want to carry the laptop away from the wall, it can be charged using a compatible Type-C USB charger, which will be easier to carry compared to the power brick featuring the barrel connector.
There are plenty of ports to help you connect a wide range of peripherals, and the optical mechanical keyboard offers a decent typing experience while having RGB lighting, assuming that matters to you. For the price, this is an extremely attractive option for users who want to play graphically intensive games for many years or tackle productivity-related tasks with ease. At $1,699.99, we believe the Strix Scar 15 is just oozing with value, but since it is a limited-time deal, we will recommend that you get it as soon as you can.
