ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 Review: RTX 5090 Infused Powerhouse
Source: Hot Hardware English
It's always hard to write conclusions about systems like this because most people will never, ever have a machine this powerful. To put it bluntly, the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 excellent. The CPU is lightning fast in productivity tasks, the GPU is currently the fatest mobile graphics solution on the market, the screen is beautiful and vibrant, the keyboard is joyous to use, and the machine is easily upgradeable thanks to toolless internal bay access. The few quibbles we could make come down to a some design decisions that are completely justifiable. ASUS picked a proprietary power connector because you can't slam 380W through a USB Type-C port. The excess of decorative lighting on the machine is a bonus feature to a lot of users, even if it isn't everyone's taste.

ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 G835 (2025) review – An Absolute BEAST!
Source: Laptop Media English
The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 G835 (2025) marks a significant step forward, presenting a heavily redesigned powerhouse aimed squarely at gamers and creators who demand top-tier performance above all else. Its bold aesthetic, highlighted by the customisable AniMe Matrix lid and extensive RGB lighting, certainly makes a statement, though the finish does readily attract fingerprints. While undeniably large and heavy, the chassis feels reassuringly solid, exhibiting minimal flex despite its plastic construction, and houses an impressive array of components without compromise. Performance is undoubtedly the star here. Fueled by the potent Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and, in our test unit, the formidable NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090, backed by blazing-fast RAID0 SSD storage, the SCAR 18 chews through demanding games and workloads with ease.

85% Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 review (2025 G835LX model – RTX 5090, Ultra 9)
Source: Ultrabook Review English
I'm not drawing conclusions on this 2025 Asus ROG Strix Scar 18 yet. So far, I appreciate the refreshed design, although ergonomics still leave plenty to be desired. The gains in performance are within 15-25% on the CPU side and more or less 10-15% on the GPU side over the previous Scar 18 generation, but the overall behavior is improved, thanks to the refined thermal module and power profiles. That 20+% price increase between generations, though...
