#ROG Strix SCAR review

Alongside the innovative Zephyrus Duo, ASUS ROG also unveiled its new "desktop replacement," the Strix SCAR 17. Featuring ASUS' 300Hz"IPS-level" display, Intel's 10th generation i9 processor, and an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super, the Strix SCAR 17 can handle anything you throw at it. With a 17.3-inch display, portability isn't the Strix SCAR's strong suit. In true ROG fashion, the Strix Scar is equipped with an RGB strip that spans the entire base of the laptop. We hope the next iteration of the Strix SCAR features a larger touchpad, as the current one is rather small. Under the hood, the Strix SCAR features the same key components as the Zephyrus Duo. Stay tuned for more coverage on the ASUS ROG Strix SCAR's local availability and pricing.
