82.7% Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 G732LXS laptop review: Frontier runner | Notebookcheck
While many high-end laptops are rather discreetly designed, the Strix Scar 17 is visually clearly aimed at gamers. The tested model, G732LXS, can show off with Nvidia's currently strongest notebook GPU. However, Asus has opted for the weakest TGP version of the RTX 2080 Super.
ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 17 G732 review – an unreasonable amount of performance
Source: Laptop Media English
So, despite its relatively bulky appeal to ultrabook users, this notebook is actually pretty compact for a 17-inch gaming beast of this caliber. However, we found that the battery life has taken a toll. Whether it is because of the 300Hz display, or because of the hardware, we only got 86 minutes of Web browsing and 81 minutes of video playback. No matter the setting, nor preset. Moreover, the machine lacks Thunderbolt connectivity and an SD card reader, although it has Wi-Fi 6 certification.

Asus: ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, a Taiwanese multinational company, produces motherboards, graphics cards, optical drives, PDAs, computer monitors, notebook computers, servers, networking products, mobile phones, computer cases, computer components, and computer cooling systems. The company's 2007 revenues reached US$6.9 billion. ASUS also produces components for other manufacturers. The Eee PC initiated the netbook boom in 2008.

In the notebook sector, Asus had a global market share of about 11% from 2014-2016, making it the fourth largest laptop manufacturer. In the smartphone sector, Asus is not among the Top 5 and has only a small market share (as of 2016).
