Asus has updated its gaming flagship Strix SCAR 18 with the Core Ultra 9 275HX, GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop and an outstanding mini LED display at 240 Hz. In addition, access to the device's components has been made much easier and there are plenty of lighting elements.
Together with the new RTX 5000 laptop GPUs, the new HX CPUs from AMD and Intel have arrived as well. We compare the AMD Ryzen 9 9955HX with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX and compare not only the pure CPU performance but also the gaming performance in conjunction with the new RTX 5090 Laptop GPU.

The ROG Strix SCAR 16 and Strix Scar 18 are all new for 2025 with GPUs like the RTX 5080 and RTX 5090. In this review we put the 2024 vs 2025 gaming laptop performance in the spotlight with the RTX 4080 vs RTX 5080 and RTX 4090 vs RTX 5090....and the gaming results are interesting. But there's things like CPU performance, battery life, cooling and a lot more that need to be taken into account and that might be where these 2025 gaming laptops are some of the best....maybe.

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.

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.

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...

We’re entering an age where gaming laptops are no longer just hulking portable counterparts of their desktop cousins. As user tastes evolve, so too, do laptop designs. Those neon-lit futuristic slabs won’t disappear, but we’ll be getting an infusion of gaming laptops that cast their nets wider to appeal to a more diverse audience, some of which might not want to broadcast their gaming passion 24/7. The ASUS ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2025) manages to strike a balance that will probably satisfy a good number of gamers of different aesthetic preferences. It cuts a rather captivating image of a powerful portable machine that can handle any task without breaking a sweat. Yes when you turn the RGB lights on and bring the AniMe Vision display to life, it immediately transforms into a dynamic battle station that will carry you to victory. The price tag is definitely a bitter pill to swallow, but you can rest assured that you’re getting you’re money’s worth, especially in the long term.

If you want a gaming machine that you can lug around with you and don’t might the girth and weight, the ROG Strix SCAR 18 will reward you even while it gives you a little exercise. To begin with, the large size is necessary to gain access to that awesome mini-LED display that’s as bright and colorful as any I’ve reviewed — and even better than most. And then the performance is also excellent, even if it’s not the fastest I’ve reviewed. It will keep up with everything you throw at it, from gaming to creative workflows, without breaking a sweat. It’s not inexpensive, but that’s not to be expected with such a well-designed gaming machine.
