Reviews for the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 G533ZW-LN017W
Source: Expert Reviews
The Strix Scar 15 is a great gaming laptop for many of the same reasons the Strix Scar 17 is. If you don't mind the extra weight and size, go for the 17. For an extra £150 you get double the RAM, a larger display, a slightly better speaker system and an expanded keyboard. The extra 16GB of RAM and 1.7 inches of screen diagonal are both well worth having, too. For me, however, the 15.6in form factor makes this the gaming machine to beat this year. It's fast, well made, a pleasure to use and to game on and it isn't as expensive as you might have thought, either.

The 2022 Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 is a versatile performance/gaming full-size laptop and one of the better-value options in its class, as well as a fairly compact and lightweight product for what it is. In our tests, it performed a little faster than the larger 2022 Scar 17, and significantly faster than the previous 2021 generation based on AMD hardware, thanks to the updated hardware and the implementation of a MUX. On the other hand, the components still run hot inside on the stock Turbo mode, especially on the GPU side now, the efficiency of the Intel Alder Lake platform leaves to desire, and there are still some ergonomic quirks that you'll have to accept if you'll decide on one of these.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
