Reviews for the Asus GL503VM-ED091T Strix Scar Edition

This Asus laptop has power and style, but is it worth the money?
Source: Reviewed.com Archive.org version
Battery life is disappointing, so you'll want to keep your eyes peeled for an outlet or take the power brick with you. In addition to poor battery life, the cooling system is super loud under demanding loads. The noise doesn't bother me much, but it could be distracting in a classroom environment. The starting price is also pretty steep. Nitpicks aside, if you've got the money for it, the Scar is a nicely balanced laptop for the right buyer.
