Nice looks
Plenty of RGB lighting
144Hz screen refresh rate

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
Big
Smooth 144Hz screen with slim bezels
Effective cooling system
Compact footprint
Decent 1080p performance
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

Great Specification, Sufficient Ports & I/O, Good Build Quality, 144Hz Display
Unimpressive Thermals, Gets hot - just like that, No G-Sync, Unjustifiable Price Tag
The Asus ROG Strix Scar II is an upgrade from the predecessor but there are some serious problem with the laptop in general - first and foremost, the thermal is just bad. Secondly, having a 144 Hz display is great but when you look at Asus ROG lineup, the...

Narrower footprint, thinner bezels, Stellar gaming performance across various titles and genres, Dramatically improved speakers, Decent GPU thermal management
No per-key RGB lighting, Too little separation between Alphanumeric keys and Numpad, New RGB-enabled elements are purely just for aesthetics, Keyboard feels underwhelming, CPU Thermal Management can be improved
The ASUS ROG Strix GL504 Scar II is perhaps, one of the most well-rounded gaming laptops out there, checking off much of the necessities in the list. The narrower profile combined with thinner bezels and new RGB-enabled elements make it an eye-candy. The...
