With its large screen with a high refresh rate and powerful internals, we see the ROG Strix Scar 17 G732LXS-HG086TS as the laptop for users who are looking for something to replace their desktop with a more mobile machine. It even allows the user a certain degree of control if you want to tinker and maximize its performance. It’s not the sleekest laptop around, but it’s definitely a performer. Lastly, at PHP 219,995 (17″ FHD IPS 300HZ / i9-10980HK / 32GB RAM 1TB x2 PCIe SSD / NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER / Win10 ), it’s expensive, yes, but the performance and the included bundles, makes it worthwhile.

Just like the company’s top-end ROG Zephyrus Duo though, we don’t know how much the SCAR 17 will be when it finally arrives in the Philippines, or if it’ll arrive as scheduled because of the worldwide pandemic.

Other mod-cons include a backlit per-key RGB backlit Chiclet style keyboard, WiFi 6 (Gig+) (802.11ax) support augmented by ROG’s RangeBoost tech for stronger signal strength, Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity and a rather nifty unique underglow light bar that wraps all around the base of the laptop that can be customisable in the ROG Aura Creator application bundled with the laptop.

If excellent gaming performance is what you're primarily after and you're willing to spend $3000 on a full-size 17-inch notebook, the ROG Scar 17 in this RTX 2080 Super 150W implementation might be the most versatile option of its generation, both on its Turbo and especially on its Silent profile. But there's a design flaw that you need to be aware of: due to the very slim rubber feet on the bottom, the thermal module chokes while the laptop sits on the desk, so you'll need to somehow raise it up in order for it to deliver its best.

A full-strength GeForce RTX 2080 Super GPU and a 300Hz panel lead the Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 to maxed-out gaming performance, but we wish the design were amped up as much as the parts.
