Giving it a modern feel
Top drawer design and aesthetics
Strong gaming performance
The graphical upgrade to the Nvidia 20XX series has clearly given the range a ‘leg-up’ over many of its competitors
Bulletproof sound and temperature control
Suitable for eSports
Gaming enthu

Not a big upgrade over the previous model
The boxy camo-covered body isn't particularly interesting-looking. The backlit keyboard lacks individual key lighting
And battery life isn't great
Even for a gaming laptop
None
Neutral
While model variety is good
ASUS has perhaps confused the casual market by releasing too many variants on this design

If we were to overlook the entirety of options available for those looking for a gaming laptop and just concentrated on the ASUS ROG branding the question you have to ask is does this stand out from the pack?The short answer to that is yes. It would be en...
Our Asus ROG Strix Scar II review demonstrates that this is an excellent laptop. The GTX 1070 and current-generation Core i7 processor outpace any rival. The exterior looks great, with sleek design and RGB LEDs, and the keyboard is one of the best example...

The Asus Strix Scar II has great performance and a high-refresh-rate screen with a thin bezel, but it still looks like it was designed in a dorm room...

The ROG Strix Scar II may not feature major changes over its predecessor, but the ones Asus has made are significant, and if the new laptop delivers a similar level of performance it could be a great buy...
The Asus ROG Strix Scar 2 might not be a huge upgrade from last year so owners might struggle to justify getting one.However, in the wider market it's great to see Asus adopting a modern design with narrow bezels. The new Scar looks great but there are th...
Abstract: Asus clearly had to work hard to prevent all that from melting into a pile of plastic. It’s employed upgraded 12 volt fans, and swapped out the 59 blade fans of the previous generation for 71 blade versions. Thanks to the new super thin blades, the decrea...
The new ROG Strix Scar 2 and Hero 2 aren't huge updates on their predecessors, featuring near identical internal specifications.But the few changes Asus have made look like definitive positives. The new screen is a decent upgrade that puts it on a par wit...
