Reviews for the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 G733PY-XS96
Asus' latest gaming laptop is one of the fastest in the market and it doesn't even need any Intel parts. You'll still want to keep a close eye on those high core temperatures, though.

The 2023 ASUS ROG Strix Scar 17 is a powerful and high-performing gaming laptop with a sleek design and impressive hardware specifications. The laptop’s display offers an incredibly smooth and responsive gaming experience, while the keyboard and touchpad are comfortable and intuitive to use. The audio output is also of high quality, and the ROG Armory Crate software offers detailed system information and customization options. However, the battery life could have been better.

If you’re looking for the closest you can get to desktop PC performance in a gaming laptop, this should be on your short list. It’s not the only option you’ve got, as other options like the Asus ROG Strix G18 have better battery life and a nicer display. That said, the power available for the money here is impressive; other RTX 4090 laptops, like the Razer Blade 16, can push $4,000 or more. Not everything is great, but for the most part, it all evens out. The display brightness is simply okay, but color accuracy is good and the 240Hz refresh rate and G-Sync support are key for gaming. Similarly, the battery life is surprisingly short, even when you’re not gaming, but given the gaming focus of the laptop and the 6.61-pound weight, you’ll likely spend most of your time plugged in anyway. No matter how you look at it, spending over $3,000 on a laptop isn’t an easy decision. That said, looking at the hardware inside the Asus ROG Strix SCAR 17, it’s a decent value even if it may not be a bargain. This is where the powerful Ryzen chipset pays off; for an Intel-powered laptop with this kind of horsepower, you’d find yourself spending much more.

Providing blazing-fast performance is the minimum expectation at this price point, as harsh as that may sound, but the Scar 17 does meet that bar. The processing and gaming performance here is, if not always chart-topping, among the fastest available right now. Again, you’d hope so for the price, but it does deliver on that front, in addition to the fast-refresh, high-resolution screen. The build, while it looks appealing enough, doesn’t stack up to more premium designs in this price tier, most notably the Razer Blade 18. Battery life is also a major letdown, though for the category, that may not be a deal breaker since it will mostly stay put on your desk. Still, this is a deeply expensive proposition, and it’s difficult to not to see the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 8 as a much better deal; its performance hangs close despite the disparity in price, size, and GPU. If you prefer the larger screen, or simply have the extra budget to get as much power as possible from your next gaming laptop, this may be the option for you instead.

The Strix Scar 17 offers astounding gaming and productivity performance, but its $3,600 price tag will make some shake their head with vigor. If you have the funds and want to guarantee you’re playing at the highest frame rates on max settings, you’ll quickly find that no game is safe from the incredible power packed within. It is the definition of “future proof,” but not all is well underneath the hood of the Strix Scar 17. With subpar brightness and color depth, underwhelming SSD speeds, middling battery life, and a surprisingly cheap base, Asus has made sacrifices to bolster its performance. The disappointing display is particularly offensive, as hardware this good should be coupled with an equally superb screen to enhance the experience. And if anyone is spending nearly $4,000, they deserve a sturdy base to make the whole package feel good. If you’re looking for a superior alternative, the MSI Titan GT77 HX is certainly more expensive, but the phenomenal display makes up for where the Strix Scar 17 slipped up.

The 2023 generation of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 is one of the most powerful laptops money can buy today, and exceptionally competitive as a gaming machine in this Ryzen 9 7945HX and RTX 4090 configuration that sells for less than the Intel-based 2023 Scar models with similar specs. At the same time, though, a handful of reasons might convince some of you to pay extra for the more advanced Scar 16/Scar 18 designs, as you'll find out from this review.
