The lid is built from bold, brushed aluminium and it has a huge ROG logo. That marks it out in the market these days – lots of laptops at the moment seem to be trying to hide their gaming ambitions. The Asus ROG Strix Scar III looks like an unashamed gaming laptop.
Read our in-depth Asus ROG Strix Scar III review to find out if this machine is a great bargain – or if you should save up and buy something else.
Still, that’s enough power for 1080p gaming and esports. The competitive pricing is all the more impressive when you consider that the Asus ROG Strix Scar III has a 17.3in 144Hz screen and a Core i7 processor, although it does also mean that graphics power is restricted to an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti card rather than an RTX model. It’s not the flashiest or the fastest machine, but it only costs $1,399 in the US and £1,399 in the UK – which makes it one of the most affordable gaming laptop options on the market.
