Having said that, if you’re in a quiet room by yourself, you can watch a piece of content and still have a decently good time. I have used budget laptops with speakers that get louder than the Strix Scar 15, albeit with far less clarity and dynamics. Maybe that has to do with the way the speakers have been placed, behind the display. However, the speakers just don’t get loud enough, which really is a shame. They have decent treble, as well as midrange. They have good depth, great bass, and are balanced. They are good speakers, don’t get me wrong. The biggest disappointment in this entire package would be the speakers. Still, given how a webcam has become essential in the post-COVID era, we don’t think we can justify the Strix Scar 15 not having one.

Moreover, given that this laptop may be used by hardcore gamers for streaming, who would like to use a proper camera of their own, I think I can see what the engineers at Asus were thinking of. While some people may not like this, I personally think this is a neat way to keep yourself secure. You also don’t get any other sort of biometric system on the device that would help you log in faster.Īsus does provide a ROG Eye Clip Webcam in the box that can be attached to the top bezel.

This means you miss out on essential features such as Windows Hello. The laptop does not have a webcam integrated into the chassis or the lid. This is where the Asus ROG Strix Sdisappoints a little. We also like the fact that Asus has decided to give users dedicated media control buttons on the side, and an array of buttons to control the fan speed, the Armoury Crate, the volume and the option to mute on the top. It also has great tracking and sensitivity, which makes it a joy to use on a high-resolution display like the one that the Asus ROG Strix Sgets. For the GPU, we got an Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti with a total speed of 1460MHz at 150W. Our unit was also given a healthy 32GB DDR5 RAM running at 4800Mhz. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 that we tested came with the 12th Gen Intel Core i9-12900H which has 6 Performance cores and 8 Efficiency cores for a total of 14 cores. We take a look at Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 and see if this is the gaming machine that you ought to be going for. With that being said, there are some glaring omissions as well. It is flashy, extra, over the top, eccentric – all adjectives that we absolutely love.īeing a ROG machine, the Asus ROG Strix SG533ZW comes loaded with some of the best hardware and features that money can buy. The Asus ROG Strix 15, however, is unapologetically wild. There’s nothing remotely wild with most modern gaming laptops. It’s as if these machines are expected to be carried into a board meeting and therefore need to blend in with the black and grey coloured suits that have besieged the corporate world. Most gaming laptops these days have a very dull undertone and simplistic aesthetic to themselves – minimal or no use of RGB, a little too subtle and frankly mundane styling, almost too civilised. The Asus ROG Strix Scarries the legacy that all ROG Strix machines have had to a great extent.
