ROG Strix SCAR 18 (2025) Gaming Laptop, 18” ROG Nebula HDR 16:10 2.5K 240Hz/3ms, NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 5080, Intel® Core™ Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5-5600, 2TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD, Wi-Fi 7, Windows 11 Pro

Upgraded from 6800H/3070Ti and it’s been great, even for unoptimized games like Tarkov and PUBG.Great performance and no heat problems whatsoever. As a desktop replacement it works extremely well, but weight might be a problem if you actually trying to carry this thing around with you.Appearance: solid black plastic, looks good, it had RGB lights all around is good if you’re into that. Personally I just put it on solid red. Which creates some ambient light but isn’t enough to illuminate the desk or annoy you at night.Right now it’s definitely a better value for money than 4090 model.Really surprised how cold the CPU runs. I think I never got it higher than 85C. Fans aren’t very loud either.

I feel that the computer is over powered in some ways and does not have the true ability to have its max potential unlocked due to the restraint on equipment. I think you can get a less expensive machine that will do the same thing and still have all of its ability unlocked.Got this on sale during Prime Day. 400.00 off so I am not disappointed in the machine but I am in my choices. I could have saved more money by getting another. COLORED, KEYBOARD very cool very nice to have lots of fun to play with the setting. Again should not be the main sale point but sometimes it is.
