Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) review: big laptop, big power, big money

 

Raw power comes at a steep price

Top-line GPU and CPU ; Clever case design and cooling ; Amazing screen

Fans can get loud ; Spine-bending weight ; Almost unattainably expensive

If raw power and outright luxury are your only concerns, feel free to switch that verdict for a full five stars – but we feel the weight, fan noise and cost of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) might be a little more than most folks can stomach.

Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review: as ridiculous as I hoped it would be

 

The 2024 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 takes advantage of everything an 18-inch gaming laptop can -- and that's exactly why it shines.

Exceptional gaming performance It's rarely loud in gaming scenarios Surprisingly decent battery life Great keyboard Stunning mini-LED display

Awkward port layout Plenty of screen flex Insanely big and expensive

“The only thing bigger than the size of the ROG Strix Scar 18 is its performance.”

Asus Rog Strix Scar 18

 

The biggest, baddest Asus gaming laptop can tear through everything you can throw at it (including its battery).

Power rivals that of many gaming desktops. Upgradeable up to Nvidia RTX 4090, 32 GB of RAM, and 2-TB SSD. Achieves super high fps even in AAA games. Gorgeous Mini LED screen. Plenty of ports.

Massive, bulky, and expensive. Power ; consumption ; rivals that of many gaming desktops. Work/web browsing battery life under 6 hours. Just keep that charger handy.

Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 Review

 

Extreme performance ; Excellent gaming display ; Semi-reasonable size and weight ; Decent battery on iGPU

Plastic construction ; Expensive ; Can become loud under intense work loads

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is one of the most powerful gaming laptops right now, showing off the latest flagship CPU from Intel (13th Gen Core i9) and GPU from Nvidia (GeForce RTX 4090). It’s big and expensive, but the body feels reasonable for...

Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review: A gaming kingslayer

 

Don't sleep on the Strix Scar 18's power

Flashy, futuristic design ; Captivating display ; Full, balanced audio ; Impressive overall and gaming performance

Pricy ; Webcam could be better ; Below-average battery life

With its high-powered components, beautiful display and excellent audio, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 leaves a swath of destruction in its wake and leaving no prisoners.

ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) review – A Powerhouse with Performance and Comfort

 

The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) is definitely a powerhouse with a distinctive gamer-ish design. The main advantage of the laptop is the not-so-noisy fans even in “Turbo” mode. This machine has one more trick up in its sleeve and that's the...

Good upgradability ; Very good overall performance ; High CPU clocks and power limits during heavy stress in “Turbo” mode (3.34 GHz P-core clock + 141W) ; Great “Performance” preset thanks to the lower fan noise and the 2.8 GHz P-core clock + 160W GPU...

Thick and heavy (23.1 – 30.8 mm / 3.10 kg) ; High NVMe temperatures during benchmarking ; Lacks goodies such as Wi-Fi 7, Gen 5 SSD slot, thermals pad for the memory, and bigger pads for the SSDs ; The battery connector is placed below the third fan ;...

Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review (2024 generation, RTX 4090, mini LED display)

 

This is my detailed review of the 2024 configuration of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 gaming laptop, the most powerful Republic of Gamers laptop available at

good build quality and smaller/lighter than other 18-inch options ; good inputs and IO ; updated mini LED display ; plenty powerful in demanding loads and games ; versatile power profiles, balanced thermals and noise settings ; punchy audio with...

smudgy plastic interior and annoyingly placed status LEDs ; all the ports are on the sides ; still no card reader, lock, or biometrics ; hardly any performance gains compared to the 2023 configuration

Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) review: Gamers just can't ignore it

 

I have been using the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 for a while and I can say that I am absolutely impressed by the gaming beast that starts at about Rs 2.8 lakh.

In the sea of gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 can stand out because of its slightly unconventional design. Sure, it is a no-holds-barred machine, but that is true about most gaming laptops. For Scar 18 to become your choice, you will have to...

Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) Review: Extreme Performance

 

With great power, comes an equally great price.

Very good build quality ; Excellent performance ; Sharp and smooth display ; Plenty of software tweaking, customisation potential

Expensive ; Runs warm even with casual use ; Poor battery life

The 2023 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is an absolute beast of a gaming laptop and all this power does not come cheap, at Rs. 3,59,990. It isn't exactly portable either. However, you are getting the very best mobile CPU and GPU that are currently available...
