The AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX3D is the best mobile gaming processor available on the planet right now, and that's not me being biased. And the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D is the only laptop currently equipped with the chipset, which makes it that much more special. Be it gaming or creative work, this laptop can handle it all without breaking a sweat. Therefore, the verdict is easy. If you have the money and it's available in your region, you should buy it. There's nothing like it!

Are graphics important to you? Most hardcore gamers and tech enthusiasts would say yes but the majority of consumers just want a working machine that can play Minecraft properly (#jokes). Either way, the technology in graphics-intensive games is improving exponentially and AMD just levelled up the ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D with its FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 3) technology. I'll touch on the design aspect of the ROG Strix Scar 17 fairly quickly because, over the years, ASUS ROG has maintained its signature robust look and nothing much has changed. Not only is this a big laptop with its 17-inch display but it's quite heavy, so you might want to keep that in mind if you plan to move around a lot. Also, the charging adapter is like a brick so unless you have a good backpack, it's quite a hassle to pack and unpack.

Compared to the model we reviewed last year, the new ROG Strix SCAR 17 has lost unnecessary elements (such as the UV flashlight and KeyStone), which you won't have to overpay for when buying a flagship laptop. Yes, its price has indeed become lower, although it is still not a cheap desktop replacement. But with an AMD processor, the user will also get perhaps the best performance, and the quality of all other elements remains at a very high level. There are also some minimal differences (there are fewer speakers, but a webcam has appeared), although for the most part they do not play a significant role. So, in the end, ROG Strix SCAR 17 is still one of the best options for gaming and demanding tasks if your budget allows you to spend 159,999 UAH on a new laptop.

If you're in the market for a true desktop replacement, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 is about as good as it gets in 2023. While it might lack in portability and battery life, it delivers power in spades, and there are very few - if any - machines that will outclass its gaming performance. Sure, it's expensive, but it has one of the most well-balanced spec sheets that I've come across in this category, so that money is being spent on the components that matter, rather than over-speccing the memory or including a display that the GPU can't make the most of. If you're seeking the best of the best, the Strix Scar 17 demands your attention.

Asus ROG Strix G17 -- costs around Rs 2,15,990 -- is definitely on the expensive side, but it justifies it with the performance and features it offers. The tank-like build, a well-made chassis and the combined performance of AMD and Nvidia combine to hit the sweet spot of performance. Gaming performance is another plus point, if you are looking forward to buying a gaming laptop that packs impressive gaming performance, then the ROG Strix G17 makes complete sense. If you are a casual gamer and want a laptop for occasional gaming and work, G17 is also a good option to go with, given you are ready to compromise with battery life.

ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR 17 G733PY-LL020X is a premium gaming laptop, the flagship in its line, and the experience is only positive. Its beautiful design, high-quality build, modern display, and excellent performance will make it a must-have for every gamer. With this laptop, you can play modern games without any compromises in graphics and performance. Is it worth buying ASUS ROG STRIX SCAR 17? Let’s just say that if you need a top-of-the-line laptop for gaming and work and don’t want to bother with assembling a desktop (or you simply don’t need one), then it is definitely worth it, it fully justifies its cost. Otherwise, you can build a similar desktop PC for the same amount of money and you will not be limited in power at all. For example: the mobile RTX 4090 (150-175W) can lag behind the desktop version (450W) in performance by 30-80%, depending on the resolution and the application under test.

The latest wave of high-end gaming laptops to come through the lab have been nothing short of impressive. Not only do they offer meaningful and significant performance improvements over the previous-generation, but their feature sets are more in-tune with what gamers actually want. Their performance, displays, connectivity, input devices and overall aesthetics are simply a notch above previous-gen mobile PC gaming offerings, which culminates in improved experiences all around; and the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 powered by AMD’s Ryzen 9 7945HX sits among the elite in this class. In fact, the newest ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17, in the configuration we tested, is arguably the most powerful laptop currently available. Further, AMD's Ryzen 9 7945HX that powers the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 is the multi-threaded, mobile performance champion, with highly-competitive single-threaded performance as well. The GeForce RTX 4090 in the machine offered top-notch performance too, though it didn’t take the top spot across the board versus the larger MSI Titan GT77 HX. The ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 also offers somewhat more tame acoustics and thermals than some competing gaming notebooks and pricing is somewhat competitive as well. As configured here, the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 is available for $3,499. That’s not cheap, but for what is arguably one of the fastest gaming notebooks in existence currently, it’s not astronomical either. Overall, we really like the AMD Ryzen-powered ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17. Its performance, fit and finish are all top-notch. If you’re considering a no compromise, high-end gaming laptop the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 should absolutely be on your short list.

Although AMD has made big strides in gaming laptops over the last couple of generations, Intel has still firmly held the performance crown. That was especially true for Intel’s flagship chips, which AMD didn’t have any clear answer for. The Ryzen 9 7945HX changes that dynamic, and the Strix Scar 17 is a great showcase for the chip. As a laptop, the Scar 17 is solid as well. The price feels reasonable given the level of hardware inside, even if it means sacrificing in areas like the screen and overall build quality. Even with those sacrifices, you’re getting peak performance in a design that can handle the hardware inside with ease.

DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
