Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) review: Gamers just can't ignore it
Source: Techlusive
In the sea of gaming laptops, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 can stand out because of its slightly unconventional design. Sure, it is a no-holds-barred machine, but that is true about most gaming laptops. For Scar 18 to become your choice, you will have to make peace with the fact that its battery life is poorer than most other gaming laptops and that it also is slightly heavier. Other than that, I do not see a reason why a gamer would ignore the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18, especially if they are willing to spend around Rs 3.60 lakh.

ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 (G834JY) Review
Source: Yugatech
Given the size, weight, and even price of the ROG Strix Scar 18, it’s not for everyone. But if this laptop will serve as a gaming desktop replacement to save space in your room and you don’t mind carrying a 3.1kg laptop around all the time, then this is a great choice model to buy. You get the latest Intel 13th Gen laptop processor paired with a powerful NVIDIA RTX 4090 GPU. With that, you can expect the ROG Strix Scar 18 to last you a long time. If you’re interested in the ROG Strix Scar 18 with a similar configuration, it currently retails for PHP 294,000. At the time of writing, ROG does have a discount offering it for only PHP 285,000 on their official Lazada store. It’s a big price to pay, but you do get everything a gaming PC can do but in a more portable package. We think it’s worth it, especially if you want a laptop instead of a gaming PC, and if you have the budget it is a great laptop to have. But if you want something lighter or more portable, ROG does have other options available for you.

90% Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) Review: Extreme Performance
Source: NDTV Gadgets
The 2023 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is an absolute beast of a gaming laptop and all this power does not come cheap, at Rs. 3,59,990. It isn't exactly portable either. However, you are getting the very best mobile CPU and GPU that are currently available for a Windows laptop, and there's no doubt that it should age well over the years. The only real downsides to this laptop is the fact that it does run warm even when you aren't doing much on battery power. Apart from these things, it's a well-built pixel-destroying machine that's sure to put a smile on anyone's face.

80% Asus ROG Strix G18 review: Tremendously powerful and luxuriously big
Source: PC World
The Asus Strix G18 is a top-notch gaming laptop, there’s no denying that. While it does have a few drawbacks, namely its average battery life and steep price, the G18 is stacked with so much power to be considered a prized possession in any gamer’s household. Put simply, if you’re after a desktop replacement with the very best performance on offer and you can afford to buy one, you absolutely should.

80% Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023) review: big laptop, big power, big money
Source: Techradar
Asus' flagship portable gaming machine, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2023), sits at the top of the performance tree, packing (in our review sample) a 13th-gen Core i9, an RTX 4090, and a cooling solution which helps them run at their best. But there's a price to pay to be cutting edge of the best gaming laptops. Not a physical one, thankfully, but a monetary one. And we do wonder how many people will stump up the funds to buy one. That investment isn't just in top-line internals. It goes towards a screen that impresses with every look, a slim-bezeled QHD+ panel with fabulous colour reproduction, excellent response times and a 240Hz refresh rate which keeps absolutely everything smooth. It gets you a case with some luxurious and unique design touches, highly impressive lighting, and the ability to expand the SSD and RAM if you need to in the future.

70% I tried Asus’ ROG gaming laptop with a massive 18-inch display: Here’s what I experienced
Source: The Indian Express
When Asus approached me to review the ROG Strix Scar 18, not once but twice I thought if I would want to use a laptop with a massive 18-inch display. I may not be the right audience for an 18-inch gaming laptop but there is a section that would be fascinated by an expansive display, the Intel Core i9 processor, and Nvidia’s RTX 4090 GPU inside. It’s one of those pro-grade laptops that promises the raw performance that one would expect from a high-end gaming laptop. Here’s my review.

Review – ROG Strix SCAR 18 2023 G834 (i9-13980HX | RTX 4090 (175W) | 2x16GB DDR5-4800 | 2x1TB NVMe SSD (RAID0) | 18″ 1600p 240Hz)
Source: Tech Critter
ROG did not disappoint with their latest ROG Strix SCAR 18. This series is getting more mature by the day and the existing features are being fine-tuned to offer a better user experience. The industry is moving into the 16 and 18-inch display as the manufacturers are picking up the 16:10 aspect ratio as a norm. The Nebula display is gorgeous and it is something that I would recommend especially for gaming creators. The combination of the 13th generation Intel Core processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics card breeze through whatever workload you can throw at it. The third-generation DLSS and Frame Generation is mind-blowing and makes more sense for gaming laptops that generally has smaller than 20-inch display. While the official retail price of RM18,999 might sound ridiculous to those faint-hearted, however, if you were to compare it with other brands, you might find this is one of the reasonably-priced options. Well, at least for the Malaysian market whereby ROG is usually being competitive.

80% ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 review – Unlimited cosmic power
Source: Htxt Africa
There is very little to fault with the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18. While it’s packing a lot of tech it’s not as bulky as we thought it would be. We sadly can’t say the same for the price tag of this notebook. At R79 999, this notebook isn’t likely to be selling like toilet paper pre-lockdown, but those who are able to afford it, won’t be disappointed with the performance. The GPU may not be a full-fat desktop GeForce RTX 4090, but its performance paired with the gorgeous QHD display makes for a gaming experience unlike anything else we’ve experienced. The downside is that the components are incredibly power hungry and as such the battery drains like bath water, especially when you’re using the GPU. The display input switching does help the battery life but you shouldn’t expect more than two and a half hours of uptime at a push. One thing we would like to see is a few more extras in the box. Our review unit came bundled with a backpack which is rather disappointing. There are also interchangeable “Armor Caps” which don’t really change the look of the notebook all that much as you can only remove one small piece of the notebook’s body to customise it. A mouse and a keyboard or even a USB Type-C charger would be a nice addition given the asking price. Overall, however, this is a great notebook and it gets a heart recommendation from us, providing you have the money.

ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2023) review – no game can challenge this beast
Source: Laptop Media
Speaking of which, the notebook got us through 8 hours and 30 minutes of Web browsing, or 5 hours of video playback on a single charge. ASUS claims that the included 330W charger can fill 50% of the capacity for only 30 minutes. It’s great to learn that you can use the power adapter for something different than cutting charcuterie. In a perfect world, the review would end here. But since nothing is perfect, we have to mention some points we would like to improve for next year. First and foremost – ASUS shouldn’t be scared of the SD card slot. While it takes some space on the inside, it can be a useful commodity. Although it is clearly nitpicking, the back’s LED lights would look much better if they were centered in the middle of the back panel. On the bright side, we have to mention the presence of a Web camera – something that was bizarrely missing in previous models. At the end of the day, this is a niche device. It is expensive, but in our view – it is definitely worth something in the roundabout of a kidney. We are going to compare it with the Acer Predator Helios 18 (PH18-71) as soon as we are able to snatch a retail version of the product.

This top-specced Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is notably more powerful in demanding work activities and games than the previous Scar generations, as well as significantly better cooled with the redesigned thermal module. Add in a beautiful 18-inch display, good inputs, a familiar ROG design, and a sturdy chassis, and this laptop is a clear recommendation in its class. At the same time, though, this is a rather large and heavy device, and is affected by a few odd design decisions that impact its daily use ergonomics.

90% Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review: A gaming kingslayer
Source: Laptop Mag
I came. I saw. I kicked some ass. And I’m ready to do it again. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is an absolute beast of a machine that is a joy to interact with whether you’re gaming, watching video or gasp, actually working. The display will grab your attention and never let go. That is, once you get past the futuristic design in all its transparent, customizable LED glory. From there, you’ll be sucked into Scar 18’s siren song sung by its quad speakers. But once you get past all the flash and creature comforts, there’s the components to think of. Despite this being a Strix laptop, Asus’ mid-tier line, it didn’t skimp on the power bestowing the Scar 18 with a ridiculously powerful, overclockable Intel Core i9 processor and an Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU which is the newest king of the mobile GPUs. It’s not a system to be trifled with. Now there are a few hiccups, some like the 720p webcam and the below-average battery life are smaller than others. The main problem with this system is the price. At $3,699, this premium system will be out of the reach of most gamers, which is a pity because the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 has to be seen, heard and played with to be believed.

90% Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review: A gaming kingslayer
Source: Laptop Mag
I came. I saw. I kicked some ass. And I’m ready to do it again. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is an absolute beast of a machine that is a joy to interact with whether you’re gaming, watching video or gasp, actually working. The mini LED display will grab your attention and never let go. That is, once you get past the futuristic design in all its transparent, customizable LED glory. From there, you’ll be sucked into Scar 18’s siren song sung by its quad speakers. But once you get past all the flash and creature comforts, there’s the components to think of. Despite this being a Strix laptop, Asus’ mid-tier line, it didn’t skimp on the power bestowing the Scar 18 with a ridiculously powerful, overclockable Intel Core i9 processor and an Nvidia RTX 4090 GPU which is the newest king of the mobile GPUs. It’s not a system to be trifled with. Now there are a few hiccups, some like the 720p webcam and the below-average battery life are smaller than others. The main problem with this system is the price. At $3,699, this premium system will be out of the reach of most gamers, which is a pity because the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 has to be seen, heard and played with to be believed.

70% Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2024) Review
Source: PC Mag
The Strix Scar 18 is a big, bad laptop; though it’s difficult to point to any one facet, it does exceptionally well. The screen is attractive, the build includes some fancy features, and it has plenty of power for work and play. Blazing-fast performance is a given in this power and price tier, though, and it doesn’t do much in terms of design, features, or performance to separate itself from the pack. Serious negatives are absent here, but that’s not quite enough for the price. While you’d no doubt enjoy gaming on the Scar 18, it doesn’t provide unique value like the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9 16, a uniquely premium build like the Razer Blade 18, or chart-topping power like the MSI Titan 18 HX.

ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) review – A Powerhouse with Performance and Comfort
Source: Laptop Media
The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (G834, 2024) is definitely a powerhouse with a distinctive gamer-ish design. The main advantage of the laptop is the not-so-noisy fans even in “Turbo” mode. This machine has one more trick up in its sleeve and that’s the “Performance” preset. With a 2.8 GHz P-core clock and a 160W GPU, this mode is the sweet spot between fan RPM and overall system power. The 1600p Mini LED panel (BOE0C58) is great for gaming or color-sensitive work. That’s possible thanks to the full DCI-P3 coverage, the 240Hz frequency, and the superb color accuracy (average dE 0.9) that can be achieved when our “Design and Gaming” profile is applied. The screen can get very bright in SDR mode (540 cd/m2) and the only con of the display is the PWM usage.

Overall, the 2024 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is a viable 18-inch gaming laptop, even if this 2024 update still inherits the design quirks of the original chassis from 2023. This also performs mostly on par with the 2023 model, so the main reasons for getting this latest generation are the mini LED display offered and the marginal improvements in thermals.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2024) another hugely impressive gaming laptop from the brand, with an equally huge and impressive screen. It offers excellent performance for demanding apps and games, with enough power to run most at 1440p or native resolution, especially if you let DLSS take up the slack when frame rates slip. All the same, it’s also fiendishly expensive, not to mention outperformed in some cases by other machines. The Alienware M18 could be yours for under £3600 (starting at $2,999 in the US) with close to matching specs. The AMD-powered ROG Strix Scar 17 X3D was faster in key benchmarks and our gaming tests, and can also be found for less. You should also consider a device like the Asus ROG Zephyrus G16 (2024), if you’d prefer something more portable and stylish, albeit less powerful than these aforementioned powerhouses. The ROG Strix Scar 18 has the biggest, better Nebula screen, but it’s hard to say whether this justifies the extra cost.

Despite the fact that ROG Strix SCAR 18 doesn't have much new this year, the model remains a confident flagship of its lineup. Moreover, this time it received an updated ROG Nebula HDR screen, which is much more interesting and capable than the previous one. The disadvantages typical of such laptops, such as large size or a noisy cooling system with hot air flows around the perimeter, have not yet been eliminated. And this remains a kind of payment for performance. And there is plenty of it here. However, the hefty starting price tag of 180 thousand UAH still doesn't make this model mass-produced, and that's exactly what those who want to have one of the best gaming laptops will have to pay.

The Strix Scar 18 never says “no.” It’s a laptop with everything — top-end hardware, crazy RGB, a speedy mini-LED display, and a size so big you could fit two MacBooks in the same volume. It does just about everything, and it mostly succeeds. For those looking for a true desktop replacement that can stay stationary, this is a compelling option. It beats some similar machines mainly on the back of its impressive display and solid heat management. However, this isn’t the laptop for most people. The price tag is insane and the massive size tethers you to a desk, so tread carefully if you’re imagining a portable gaming paradise with the Strix Scar 18.Those willing to accept the trade-offs that inherently come with an 18-inch laptop will find a happy home here, though.

The Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 is not quite what it might seem at a glance. I suspect most shoppers will see its nearly $3,900 MSRP and think it a competitor to the MSI Titan 18 or Razer Blade 18.

It’s not a looker and it doesn’t feel luxurious, but the ROG Strix Scar 18 delivers on performance for the price.

I don’t think any gaming laptop is worth the exorbitant amount that Asus is pedaling for the ROG Strix Scar 18 (2024). While it does offer stellar performance, there are certain aspects that need to meet the standard of its asking price. If you want longer battery life, a slightly more colorful display, and much better audio, try fishing for the Razer Blade 16. But if you can get over the price differential of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2024) versus its competitor’s displays, then it’s a fine purchase.

Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 (2024) hands-on impressions
Source: Laptop Mag
The big negative is price: The configuration I got comes in at $3,999.99, which is a lot to pay for sheer gaming power by any reckoning. If you don’t absolutely need or want that much PC horsepower, you might be better off knocking down the components a bit and saving a few hundred dollars. But if you’ve got the money, the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 has got the goods. This is one of the most satisfying systems I’ve tried in ages, and if this is any indication of what we’re going to see in the next 12 months, 2024 is going to be a heck of a year for gaming laptops. Stay tuned for Laptop’s full review of the Asus ROG Strix Scar 18.

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.
