This makes the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 one of the more expensive, but also one of the most powerful gaming laptops on the market. The notebook’s GPU has a TDP of up to 175 watts, and it can consume up to 250 watts in combination with the processor. Asus has installed three fans and a vapor chamber to keep temperatures in check.
The ROG Strix Scar 18 has already earned Notebookcheck Top Rated Award. In our in-depth review, we praised the high performance and excellent mini-LED screen. We also liked the comfortable keyboard and two Thunderbolt 5 ports. On the other hand, we criticized the lack of PCIe 5.0 as well as the very loud cooling system.
