Review on 💻 ASUS ROG Strix Scar 15 (2021) Gaming Laptop with 15.6” 300Hz IPS FHD Display, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, 16GB DDR4, 1TB SSD, Opti-Mechanical Per-Key RGB Keyboard, Windows 10 - G533QS-DS96 by Bryan Finken

Pro: - Top gaming performance. I can play Cyberpunk and RDR2 at maximum settings with plenty of graphics memory. It's also possible to play Guild Wars 2 in large crowds without sacrificing performance, so it works well for MMOs too. - If you're into flashing RGB lights like me, you can't beat it in that regard - light and portable, but also feels very solid. However, I have not tested this. - Not too hot to use on the lap while gaming - Turning the touchpad into a number pad is a great idea and very functional. Subjective: - No webcam. That's almost a minus, but since some people stick their cameras directly on, I think it's a plus for them. mechanical keyboard. The thing is loud. I suppose I can piss my wife off, and if you were writing your novel at Starbucks or somewhere else, you might get some looks. However, it's great if you like the feel of a mechanical keyboard. Cons: - no memory card reader. I'd rather it than Keystone, although a hardware shadow drive is cool. I don't like the layout of the ports. Many of the ports are on the back rather than the sides, where I would have preferred them. - Everything is awfully loud when it's on (ROG logo screen) - Fans make a jet engine noise when playing graphics-intensive games. Maybe not more than regular gaming laptops, but still noticeable.
