Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 2025 Review: Powerful and Flashy
Source: NDTV Gadgets
If you've got the money, I'd recommend buying the Asus ROG Strix Scar 16 for its excellent performance and cooling, flashy gamer-approved design, and the bright Mini LED display. The laptop also has a nice keyboard and a large touchpad. The tool-less rear panel is also quite useful and something other laptop manufacturers should adopt. The only downside, albeit minor, is the use of PCIe Gen 4 storage, particularly when the laptop supports Gen 5 SSDs. The ROG Strix Scar 16 can easily replace your gaming desktop and add some portability to the mix. Of course, a gaming desktop offers better upgradeability, but does it have AniMe Vision? The laptop is definitely worth the price tag.

The Best & Worst of RTX 5000 Laptops - ROG Strix SCAR 16 & 18 Review
Source: Hardware Canucks
The ROG Strix SCAR 16 and Strix Scar 18 are all new for 2025 with GPUs like the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090. In this review we put the 2024 vs 2025 gaming laptop performance in the spotlight with the RTX 4080 vs RTX 5080 and RTX 4090 vs RTX 5090....and the gaming results are interesting. But there's things like CPU performance, battery life, cooling and a lot more that need to be taken into account and that might be where these 2025 gaming laptops are some of the best....maybe.
