Reviews for the Asus ROG Strix G531GW-AL023T

85% Asus ROG Strix Scar III review (G531GW – Core i7, RTX 2070, 240Hz screen)
Source: Ultrabook Review
The ROG Scar III is a full-size 15-inch notebook that doesn't compromise on performance and thermals. These are its primary selling points, but it also gets the other modern bells and whistles you'd expect from a gaming laptop these days: strong construction, RGB lighting, fast 240 Hz IPS screen, and punchy speakers, all in a competitively priced package. Potential buyers would, however, have to accept its noisy fans, bulkier size, and shorter battery life, among others, compared to the performance ultraportable options out there.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

i7-9750H: On Coffee Lake architecture based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.6 - 4.5 GHz (4 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++). » Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

The company's 2007 revenues reached US$6.9 billion. ASUS also produces components for other manufacturers. The Eee PC initiated the netbook boom in 2008.

In the notebook sector, Asus had a global market share of about 11% from 2014-2016, making it the fourth largest laptop manufacturer. In the smartphone sector, Asus is not among the Top 5 and has only a small market share (as of 2016).

87.5%: This is a good rating above average. Nevertheless you should not forget, that 10-15% of all notebook-models get a better rating.
