The editors didn't like
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
ASUS ROG Strix SCAR II (GL704G) Gaming Laptop Review
very responsive 144-Hz panel, NVMe-SSD + SSHD, good input devices, very fast WLAN, RGB illumination, powerful sound, powerful tools, thin bezels
unfortunate positioning of the webcam, limited CPU and GPU Turbo, high noise level under load, neither Optimus nor G-Sync, weak battery life, no Thunderbolt 3

There is no denying that Asus is taking the lead when it comes to development of this new form of gaming laptops. The ROG GL504 is prime example of modern gaming machines becoming thinner, lighter and yet packing graphics performance that most gamers dema...
144 Hz panel, Better battery life than SCAR I, Improved audio
Slightly expensive, Camera is poor
The ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR II GL504 is the result of ASUS listening to user feedback. The first-gen GL503 wasn't a bad laptop at all. In fact, it was a nice change to see a manufacturer add more value to an existing lineup by specialising laptops based on th...
