It's the beast! Suitable for laptops

Definitely the most powerful laptop I've ever had, great for gaming and working, easy upgrade of RAM or internal SSD, keyboard is smooth and precise, touchpad has an impressive upgrade compared to the previous generation received, 165Hz QHD screen with wonderful color quality, Ryzen 9 5900HX is the best mobile processor even beating some desktop processors, RTX 3080 mobile with 16GB, a few cons, first came without a camera, so you need external if You want to make video calls that require a…

15 inch good laptop

I have been actively looking for a replacement for my Dell XPS15 laptop for a few months. I'm happy to say that my search is finally over with this laptop, it's a game changer! I love my Dell for the aesthetics and build quality, but it lacked raw gaming power; Take Asus Rog Strix Scar-15. Since January 2021 I have tried 7 different laptops. I tried to find the right model, and some of these laptops were even from Asus' own line. MSI's new line has yet to use a 1440p monitor, which would…

POWER BRICK START ON FIRE

Make sure you keep an eye on your power supplies when you use them. ONE hour ONE day when the PSU caught fire. Let's see what the RMA process looks like. It hurts to spend $2,200 on a piece of kindling. Will continue to be updated. - Update: The Asus RMA process is terrible. The RMA was on 04.03. created, the device sent and on 09.03. delivered. Didn't get an answer from them. I emailed them on March 11th to say they never received my device. And they will send me a "comparable" of this model…

Not exactly thin, but perfect for playing!

After spending many years with an old Alienware 17, I really needed to upgrade it, but I wanted to wait for a real performance boost over current-gen CPUs and GPUs. I was very impressed with the Ryzen processor in the Zephyrus G14 last year and wanted to get a laptop with an AMD processor this time. Initially, my main options were the 2021 Zephyrus G15 and 2021 Strix G15, both with an RTX 3070. After trying out the Zephyrus, I found that I really liked the extremely loud fans under load and the

Great gaming laptop with some features

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

Almost just for gaming

Edit: I'm increasing it to 2 stars because I was able to get a full refund for the laptop. So apparently I got a lemon. Hope you're not as lucky as me. I was so excited about this PC because of its impressive specs. But when I actually had to use it, I found that it had extreme thermal throttling. On the lowest game settings I would drop from 90+ FPS to 20 FPS. It made the games so unplayable that I had to return it. This was a big disappointment and I strongly advise against anyone buying this
